Made redundant while on furlough?

Ballito

I'm on furlough and my company is planning to start the redundancy consultation next week 22April, now that the government has extended the furlough form end May to end June, does this mean that the redundancy consultation will be pushed back and extended by another 30days?  Can the company make me redundant while I'm on furlough and paid by the government's furlough scheme?

From guidance to employees:

"Your employer can still make you redundant while you’re on furlough or afterwards.

Your rights as an employee are not affected by being on furlough, including redundancy rights."

The CJRS has not been extended to 30 June, as far as I am aware, although there is pressure building on the Government to extend the scheme.

it has been extended the chancellor just announced it on Twitter, apparently the place to go for guidance on new legislation these days

Thanks for that. It didn't come up on a search I carried out before responding. We live in strange times.
