Rishi Sunak is urged to give EVERY Briton a £500 voucher

LONDON July 6: A think tank has urged the Chancellor to give every adult in the UK a £500 shopping voucher in a bid to boost struggling high streets.

The Resolution Foundation has called on Chancellor Rishi Sunak to hand out vouchers totalling some £30 billion to get high streets back on their feet in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

The vouchers proposed by the think tank would be valid for a year in areas including face-to-face retail, tourism and hospitality, The Mirror has reported.

They would include £500 for every adult, and £250 per child.
