PUBLICATION OF PARENTAL LEAVE AND PAY POLICIES

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.
