PUBLICATION OF PARENTAL LEAVE AND PAY POLICIES

Early day motion 1629, tabled 12 September 2018 by Jo Swinson (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 66 members.

That this House notes with concern that 54,000 women lose their jobs each year because of pregnancy and maternity discrimination; recognises that greater transparency on parental leave and pay would reduce the risk of discrimination during recruitment and would incentivise employers to offer more generous parental pay; and calls upon the Government to bring forward legislation to require companies with more than 250 employees to publish their policies on parental leave and pay.
