Original Note:
The furlough scheme was introduced to allow companies to maintain employees who would have been lost because of the government's lockdown. However, the scheme only saved jobs that were being taken away because of lockdown policy. The total cost was £70Billion. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1122100/uk-cost-of-furlough-scheme/#:~:text=Value%20of%20claims%20made%20by,in%20the%20UK%202020%2D2021&text=As%20of%20November%202021%20the,was%2070%20billion%20British%20pounds.
