I acknowledge the huge range of supports that have been put in place over a number of years, from Covid supports to, as the Minister of State outlined, the support on rates and so many other supports. Some of those are gradually being changed and withdrawn. There is the VAT support, for example, and now the further introduction of the rates support. There are myriad supports there and some of them suit certain businesses more than others. Is there a one-stop shop so businesses can identify which is the most suitable and realistic support for them so they can, in turn, inform and shape further supports? Substantial funding is being made available and it is about a joined-up approach whereby businesses will know where to access any supports that are there, while identifying ones that are required. Businesses are seeing huge costs with the minimum wage, auto-enrolment, sick pay and holiday pay all coming along at much the same time and putting a huge burden on them. It is about ensuring they can identify ways of dealing with it.
