Many self-employed constituents have been raising their concerns to me about the need for more support from the Government during these unprecedented times.
I get this. I was self-employed before being elected as the Forest’s MP in 2005 and over the weekend, I fed your concerns into the Government.
The Government are working on an improved package to help those who are self-employed, which will be announced in the coming days, but I pressed the Chief Secretary to the Treasury in the House of Commons today that such a package must be similar in magnitude to that offered to employed workers.
