Chancellor Rishi Sunak announces new Job Support Scheme

Chancellor Rishi Sunak has announced a new Job Support Scheme to start in November.

The six-month scheme will replace furlough and means the government will pay part of workers' wages who have lost hours.

The chancellor also said he was extending help for the self-employed on "similar terms" to the existing job support scheme.
