Answer
I thank the Right Hon. Gentleman for raising this important issue. We have introduced an unprecedented package of support for the self-employed to get through this incredibly challenging period.
And our Self-Employment Income Support Scheme has been a success. As of 14 June, a total of 2.6 million claims have been made, worth £7.6 billion.
