<p>We are aware of, and monitor, examples of support for the music industry in other
countries. The UK Government has put in place an unprecedented support package for
business and workers to protect them against the current economic emergency including:</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><ul><li><p>The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme</p></li><li><p>The Self-Employed
Income Support Scheme</p></li><li><p>The Bounceback Loan Scheme</p></li><li><p>Expanding
eligibility for the business rates reliefs</p></li></ul><p><strong> </strong></p><p>As
well as this, to support the safe re-opening of cultural and creative sectors, DCMS
has launched the Cultural Renewal Taskforce. This includes several working groups
to develop practical guidance on how the music production and performance sectors
can operate safely with social distancing measures in place. As well as establishing
these working groups, we will continue to work with the music industry to understand
the difficulties they face and help them access support through these challenging
times and recovery.</p>
