A former business secretary has warned some people on furlough are avoiding going back to work because it has been “great” for them, while others are “terrified” of returning to the office.

Conservative MP Dame Andrea Leadsom said some businesses in her South Northamptonshire constituency are struggling to get employees to return to work because “people have, to be perfectly frank, become used to being on furlough.”
