The furlough scheme was introduced to allow companies to maintain employees who would have been lost because of the government's lockdown.

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.
