Radical plans to give all adults £500 and children £250 in vouchers to spend in sectors of the economy worst hit by the Covid-19 crisis are being considered by the Treasury.

Sources involved in the discussions said the Treasury might balk at a £30bn bill and opt for smaller sums if it takes up the idea, with the possibility that it could increase the value of the vouchers later if the scheme proved effective.

Good idea?

It'll only be certain stores.

Yes, I heard this yesterday and no internet sales either.

I think mine would be spent within an hour of getting it.
I'd be straight down the town to help the economy roll

[Jenky]

I really don't care what stores or businesses accept these vouchers, I will spend, spend, spend
