(CB):...Although the Government are
signalling that they want to wind financial support down, we should
not forget that many freelancers continue to fall through the gaps
in support. Some 40% of musicians have still received no
financial support. Many of the 1.3 million PAYE freelancers who

These industries, which should be at the forefront of recovery,
deserve protecting and the Government should look at this
again...
