Still at home

sir – The Government is being too optimistic in expecting the economy to revert to pre-covid levels. Many closed businesses will be hard to replace.

However, the greatest change has been in the attitudes of those who think the commute is no longer worth it. Lockdown was a serious mistake. John Kirby

sir – I have just renewed my house and contents policy. One question asked if the home was used for business purposes. An untruthful answer would apparently vitiate the cover.

Does this apply to people working from home? Will their cover be vitiated or should they inform their insurer and pay a revised premium? And, by a similar token, why does working from home not attract business rates? Graham Saunders
