. whether you are able to claim that is another matter -- deliveroo. yes, notjust in the uk, but the my support. again, if you are renting this is no answer. are there other countries in the world which provide a particularly good example of how to tackle this issue? looking across europe, there is no harmonisation across the eu member states. there are varying degrees of statutory forms of sick pay. the most vulnerable, would you argue, are perhaps in the united states? we mention some of the figures there. for them, what position would they be infor for them, what position would they be in for the self—employed? for them, what position would they be in for the self-employed? very patchy again. it varies by state. a long political debate about whether there should be a minimum level of support. do you believe there is a concern that people who feel they may not be covered or may not be able to get these benefits... i mean the bureaucracy in the process of getting universal credit in the uk is known to be pretty bad, that they will just continue to is known to be pretty bad, that the

have you raised the issue with deliveroo and if so what have they said?have they said? we constantly raise the issue with them through the work that i do for my colleagues as part of the union i'm with. we are raising these questions constantly but nothing seems to change. it needs to change. james, in leeds, once your situation and again, what fears might you face here? my concern is that the government have said they will throw whatever money is needed at the markets, helping the shareholders and the big banks again. sounds like a repeat of 2008. they are helping out some workers. i know there's more to be done. there's nothing about small businesses. i only have five staff, i'm nota businesses. i only have five staff, i'm not a big business but a drop in income could put us out of business and it's pathetic. we're not hearing anything from government to help small business. what is this about statutory sick pay kicking in on day one rather than dive four? what impact does that have? a fantastic announcement, i think more should be done and i think the
