Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office: Paternity Leave
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what the average length of paternity leave taken by staff in his Department was in each of the last three years.
Answered by Catherine West
Due to the migration of IT systems, the FCDO is unable to provide indicate timescales for Parental leave at this time.
The FCDO's Paternity Leave offer enables staff to take one or two weeks' statutory paternity leave. This enables staff to take the necessary time off whilst balancing work and home commitments.
