Chancellor Rishi Sunak has said it is "impossible" to predict how many jobs the government's new wage subsidy scheme will save.
The scheme, set to replace furlough, will see the government top up the pay of people unable to work full time and aims to stop mass job cuts after the government introduced new measures to tackle a rise in coronavirus cases.
The chancellor said he hoped the plan would "benefit large numbers", but he could not say what job is "viable or not".
Can the chancellor’s new package hold back the tide of unemployment?
