Stop all outward payment on bills and provide £100 pw income for self employed

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

To help the self employed, suspend all outgoing household bill payments and business related expenses. Provide a basic income of £100 per week to pay food bills and essentials.

During the Covid-19 outbreak, introduce this measure to help the self employed / sole traders that are having to pay to keep their businesses afloat with no trade, this can then allow the business to return to normal as quickly as possible and prevent self employed having no trade to return to after the current event becomes managed.
