The Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Alok Sharma, has written a letter to those working in manufacturing.

In the letter, he says that in this unprecedented time for the UK he wanted to pay tribute for the “work you are doing to keep the UK economy going … our country needs your support to keep supply chains moving and key workers mobile, as well as to protect the economy as much as possible. Every business has a role to play in helping the country defeat coronavirus. Manufacturing is a critical part of our economy and I would like to be clear that there is no restriction on manufacturing continuing under the current rules.”
