UK: This weekend's Observer noted that "radical plans to give all adults GBP500
and children GBP250 in vouchers to spend in sectors of the economy worst hit by
the Covid-19 crisis are being considered by the Treasury. The proposals, drawn
up by the Resolution Foundation think tank, which has had recent talks with the
Treasury about its ideas, are aimed at kickstarting economic recovery by
triggering a highly targeted surge in spending. Under the plans the vouchers
could only be spent in certain sectors, such as hospitality and "face to face"
retail, as opposed to online."
