Yes, I was on the call, think they said there was about 500 people on it.
Personally, thought it was useful. Probably been noted elsewhere, but IPSE advised they were consulted by the gov on what measures should be put it - they gave their opinion and specifically said PSC's should be included in the support. And obviously they disagreed with that part.
They did make many comments that they disagreed with the PSC exclusion and were lobbying the treasury, and they were having many direct talks with them. They did go into quite a bit of detail on what their views were - I can't recall of it so might be worth people fast forwarding the recording to that part if they wanted.
Banged on a lot about how the opposed IR35 as well - and how they need to frame their lobbying so not to weaken their argument on this. But again, this has been discussed on threads already.
Proposal from them was to run a Webinar every week with updates (not just on this area but all that is going on).
