The Bank of England has lent more than £16 billion to 53 major businesses in a bid to support them through the coronavirus crisis.

The list, which raised protests from fair pay campaigners and environmental groups, included several airlines, oilfield services company Schlumberger, German chemicals giant BASF, and defence giant Chemring.

Money has also gone to support the National Trust, Greggs and Nissan, among others.

Around £2.8 billion has gone to firms with headquarters based overseas, including the Netherlands, Germany and Ireland.

And several high street names took out cash, including John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Greggs and Fuller’s – with stores, bars and restaurants remaining closed in most cases.

Online fashion giant Asos, which has remained open throughout the lockdown, took a £100 million, several weeks after it was revealed bosses had asked shareholders for £247 million in a fundraiser.

Fashion houses Chanel and Burberry also turned to taxpayer-backed loans, £600 million and £300 million respectively.
