We request that the government extend the Self Employed Income Support Scheme in line with Furloughed Workers currently being paid under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.","additional_details":"Currently there are no plans to extend the Self Employed Income Support Scheme that has supported the self employed from March to May 2020. Having paid our taxes and contributed to the economy, it would be a grave injustice to simply forget the self employed, many of whom work in industries  that currently do not exist due to the pandemic. If we cannot go back to work then it is the government’s duty to support us.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":9,"created_at":"2020-05-26T23:06:26.324Z","updated_at":"2020-06-01T11:17:24.077Z","rejected_at":"2020-06-01T11:17:24.079Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2020-05-27T10:26:04.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition calling for the same action: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/320655\r\n\r\nYou can find out more about coronavirus and how you can protect yourself and others here:\r\n\r\nwww.gov.uk/coronavirus\r\nhttps://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/\r\n\r\nThe Government has also created an online service to help you out what you can do if you’re struggling because of coronavirus: https://www.gov.uk/find-coronavirus-support\r\n\r\nYou can read NHS tips to help if you are worried about coronavirus here: https://www.nhs.uk/oneyou/every-mind-matters/coronavirus-covid-19-anxiety-tips\r\n\r\nYou can read impartial analysis of the Government response to coronavirus and policy developments here: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/coronavirus/\r\n\r\nYou may also be interested to know that because of the large number of petitions that have been started in relation to coronavirus, the Petitions Committee has been questioning the Government about its response to the coronavirus outbreak.\r\n \r\nFind out more: https://committees.parliament.uk/work/192/the-governments-response-to-coronavirus/"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
