The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what (a) his planned timescale is and (b) the terms of reference are for the review of parental leave; and who will conduct the review.

Answered by Justin Madders

As committed to in the Plan to Make Work Pay, the Government will review the system of parental leave to ensure that it better supports working parents. We are still in the early planning stages for this Review and are actively considering the parameters and process for delivering it. As such it is not possible to confirm these details at this time.
