Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of extending the Self-Employment Income Support scheme beyond the single instalment covering three months and capped at £7,500.
This question was answered on 19th May 2020
The UK has one of the most generous self-employed COVID-19 support schemes in the world.
The Self-Employment Income Support Scheme opened on 13 May, ahead of schedule, and it provides support worth up to £7,500 each to millions of individuals. Recipients will have the grants in their bank accounts by end of this month.
The Chancellor will keep the scheme under review.
