Lord Agnew of Oulton (Con) [V]
My Lords, the Government are acutely aware of the challenging circumstances aviation is facing. The sector is able to draw on the unprecedented package of measures announced by the Chancellor, including schemes to raise capital, flexibilities with tax bills and the furlough scheme. The Government have committed to consult on aviation tax reform and will provide an update on the timing of this in due course.
The Earl of Clancarty (CB)
My Lords, in answer to a question I asked last week in this House, I was told that the Government were looking at whether the guidance in the Culture Recovery Fund might be changed to enable freelancers to benefit directly, as many freelancers have so far received no support at all. Can the Minister say anything more about this?
Lord Agnew of Oulton (Con) [V]
My Lords, I do not have an update on the response that the noble Earl received last week, but we will of course notify the House as soon as any is issued.
