We now come to Prime Minister's questions.

Number one, Richard Graham.

Number one, sir.

Thank you.

It is now two years to the day since a chemical weapon was deployed by Russian military intelligence

on the streets of Salisbury.

All our thoughts remain with those affected, their

families and loved ones. We will continue to seek justice for them. But I'm pleased

to say that two years on, Salisbury is back on its feet, focus firmly on the future and welcoming

visitors with open arms. I'm sure this House will want to pay tribute to the people of Salisbury

and Amesbury and wish them well for the future. Mr Speaker this morning I had meetings with

ministerial colleagues and others in addition to my duties in this house I shall have further

such meetings later today. Mr. Greb. As the government prepares the nation for the worst of

coronavirus while working for the best,

now is the time to wash our hands and pull together.

So does the Prime Minister agree that we need a robust plan in place

to cover any significant cash flow losses of businesses

so that employees and their mortgages, rents and benefits will still be paid.

Will the Treasury consider delaying, if need be, VAT and P.A.E. Collection?

And does the Prime Minister agree with me that, come what may, as we saw during the devastating

floods in Gloucester of 2007 and elsewhere recently that Britain will find the strengths,

perhaps aided by a cup of not necessarily Yorkshire tea, to pull through.
