Abena Oppong-Asare (Erith and Thamesmead) (Lab):...As hon. Members
have said, a variety of groups have been repeatedly left out of the
various covid support schemes. Those groups include people who make
less than half their income from self-employment, company directors
of small businesses, and people who regularly move between jobs in
common creative industries. I want to use this opportunity to pay
tribute to the many organisations that have made their voices heard

(Erith and Thamesmead) (Lab):...As hon. Members have said, a
variety of groups have been repeatedly left out of the various
covid support schemes. Those groups include people who make less
than half their income from self-employment, company directors of
small businesses, and people who regularly move between jobs in
common creative industries. I want to use this opportunity to pay
tribute to the many organisations that have made their voices heard
on the issue—ExcludedUK and the trade unions, including Community,
Prospect and the Musicians’ Union. Many of those
excluded face mounting debts, which have been building during the
pandemic. Therefore, will the Minister set out the Government’s
plans to address both personal and business debt?
