Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he has plans to provide financial support to self-employed people that are without work after the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme ends on 31 May 2020.
On 29 May, the Chancellor announced that eligible individuals will be able to claim a second and final taxable grant when the SEISS reopens for applications in August. Individuals will be able to claim a taxable grant worth 70 per cent of their average monthly trading profits, paid out in another single instalment covering three months’ worth of profits, and capped at £6,570 in total.
