of March 2021, As the restrictions ended on 18 July 2021, and in an effort to protect a large number of businesses from eviction and reduce the number of jobs at risk of insolvency, regulatory intervention has been proposed for
England and Wales. This was announced by Government on 16 June 2021 the intention is to ringfence unpaid rent that had built up when a business has had to remain closed during the pandemic.
