BREASTFEEDING IN PUBLIC
Tabled by Sir Nicholas Winterton (Conservative)
77 signatures
The motion
That this House recognises the clear health benefits of breastfeeding; welcomes reports that legislative proposals on rights for women to breastfeed in public may be brought forward later in 2008; is concerned by reports that this right may only extend to the first six months of a child's life; and therefore calls on the Government to support calls by the Royal College of Midwives for it to bring forward proposals that give mothers the legal right to breastfeed in public, with no time limit on that right.
