Proceeding contribution from David Burrowes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Work and Families Bill.
Work and Families Bill
Although small businesses can reclaim contributions, does the Secretary of State appreciate the significant impact such leave has on them? As 95 per cent. have five employees or fewer, the loss of manpower and skills could be considerable. Although much in the Bill is to be credited, many might interpret it as tokenistic. A true family-friendly policy should be within the taxation system, to give proper recognition of single-earner households and to benefit them.
