More than 1,000 Burnley people on furlough when scheme ended

They were among more than 1 million workers being supported across the UK when the scheme wrapped up, and the Institute for Fiscal Studies said what happens to them is "critical" for the economy.

The latest data from HM Revenue and Customs shows 1,300 jobs held by workers living in Burnley were furloughed as of September 30th – 3.5% of all that were eligible.
