In a statement published this afternoon, the administrators, Tony Wright and Alastair Massey, partners at a specialist business advisory firm FRP, said around 800 jobs would go immediately, but the two businesses, the Woollen Mill and Ponden, would continue to trade online and through the surviving shops, as far as lockdown restrictions allowed.

They also said EWM Group and its other subsidiaries, including Jaeger and Peacocks, are not part of the administration.

Councils in Barrow, South Lakeland and Lancaster have voted to put plans to create a single, all-purpose council around Morecambe Bay, external to the government.

In a joint statement, the three local authorities said that while proposals for Lancashire and Cumbria had already been put forward by other councils, the Cumbrian plan was based on existing boundaries.

But, the statement said, the government had invited other proposals and "we believe that a cross-boundary authority around Morecambe Bay is the best way forward for Barrow, Lancaster and South Lakeland."

The move has been supported by the former Barrow MP, now Lord Walney, and the Westmorland and Lonsdale MP Tim Farron.

Cumbria Tourism has given a cautious welcome to the announcement by the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, that furlough payments and help for some self-employed people will now be available through until March.

It goes some way to meeting the requirements of industry representatives, who met the minister Nigel Huddleston earlier this week to ask for support through the winter for businesses that had already lost much of the income from the summer.
