The existence of a 'secret dossier' outlining the potential damage to the economy and the 'red' alert industries most at risk has been revealed.
It was reported last night that the 'impacts dashboard' had been drawn up by officials across Whitehall - and rated the risk to a dozen sectors of the economy as 'red'.
That means the sectors - which include aerospace, the automotive industry, retail, hospitality and tourism, arts and heritage, maritime and sport - face significant job cuts and revenue losses, according to The Times.
But this morning Michael Gove, who is minister for the Cabinet Office and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, a role which sees him chair and sit on numerous committees related to Covid-19, said he hadn't seen it.
