Extend SEISS past 1/6/20 for those still barred from work eg Driving Instructors
The Chancellor extended furlough to October for businesses that can't go back to work yet, then self employed surely must follow suit. Around 40,000 ADIs in the UK will probably be last to work as social distance measures are impractical, screens are unsafe in an accident & we can't sit in the back.
The government should look at us and realise, we are an essential part of the UK's economy, teaching people to drive will help keep them off public transport and increase the pool of workers able to take on and get to the jobs that remain in the economy. As an industry we have wholeheartedly supported the government's advice for Stay At Home etc and this has been possible due to the SEISS, once this ends most will be forced back to work and could contribute to the much feared second wave.
