Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee Chair Comments on the new measures announced today by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
DCMS Committee Chair Julian Knight MP said:
“We welcome this economy-wide intervention from the Chancellor. However, it still leaves many hundreds of thousands of workers in events, arts and cultural parts of the economy with a grim future.
“The truth is, three times as many people in these sectors are currently on furlough than the national average, which suggests that the Job Support Scheme may not be able to stop unprecedented redundancies and many organisations from facing extinction.”
