Karin Smyth MP and Labour Party seeking answers from Government on issues with Coronavirus support

Bristol South MP Karin Smyth is working closely with her colleagues in parliament to seek clarification on some of the support available, challenge any issues that arise from this and hold the government to account over its decisions and approach.

Karin has been contacted by constituents who have questions and concerns around the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, support for self-employed people and small businesses and Universal Credit. She has raised these with fellow members of the Shadow Cabinet, pushing the government for answers and action.

When we receive answers or further information, Karin will update constituents who have been in touch.

If you live in Bristol South and need support from your MP during this difficult time, please email: karin.smyth.mp@parliament.uk – Karin and her team continue to work remotely throughout.
