That is a very serious matter into which this committee has a responsibility to look. The issue of bogus self-employment and people being employed as contractors rather than direct PAYE employees is widespread in the construction industry as well. Is it the case - it is certainly the case in the construction industry - that if people in the film industry ask for PAYE employment, they are told they will not get the job and, in some cases, are blacklisted for asking for direct employment? Is there a similar picture in the film industry?
