BREASTFEEDING MANIFESTO AND LEGISLATION ON PROTECTION FOR BREASTFEEDING WOMEN

That this House supports National Breastfeeding Awareness Week and encourages hon. Members to sign the Breastfeeding Manifesto at www.breastfeedingmanifesto.org.uk; notes that Scottish law outlaws discrimination against women breastfeeding in places to which members of the public have access; and calls on the Government to extend this protection to all women in the UK, making it an offence to prevent or stop a person in charge of a child who is otherwise permitted to be in a public place or licensed premises from feeding milk to that child in that place or on those premises and to make provision in relation to the promotion of breastfeeding.
