Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Gavin Robinson (Democratic Unionist Party), on Wednesday, 13 May 2020, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 62 members in total.
Campaign to extend maternity leave by three months
That this House recognises the adverse effect the covid–19 pandemic has on social isolation generally and new mothers on maternity leave in particular; highlights the importance of social interaction and building bonds within extended family circles and wider society both for the babies development and mothers wellbeing; and acknowledges that this is impossible during lockdown restrictions, that a Parliamentary Petition calling for a three month extension to maternity leave has significantly passed the threshold for debate but given no petition debates are occurring at present calls on the Government to consider this proposal positively.
