Discussions about fiscal support for various sectors affected by the pandemic, focusing on those in cultural and creative industries.
What fiscal support is being provided to the theatre and entertainment sector during the covid-19 outbreak? Like other Members, I met this morning with ExcludedUK and people such as freelancers who have fallen between the gaps of different Government schemes. The package for the creative industries is welcome but what will the Government do to support thousands of people in those industries?
The UK has one of the world's most generous coronavirus support schemes which includes many self-employed people. A £1.57 billion cultural fund was recently announced and is targeting those in need, such as freelancers.
