I am writing to inform you that we have agreed a new contract with FirstGroup for the Great Western franchise.

I am writing to set out further details of the announcement I made today in support of self-employed individuals. This forms the next stage in helping individuals affected by the COVID-19 emergency.

Without a huge national effort to halt the growth of this virus, there will come a moment when no health service in the world could possibly cope.

May I personally thank my right hon. Friend and the Department for the rapid response he has given to every inquiry that I have made on behalf of my constituents?
