Proceeding contribution from Jim McGovern (Labour) 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
To pursue the point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Burnley (Kitty Ussher) about a mother wanting to return to work before the end of the six-month period, does my right hon. Friend agree that a mother who wants to extend maternity leave beyond the six-month period may feel that she is being forced to return to work, even though she does not necessarily want to do so, to allow some father and child bonding to occur and because, otherwise, the father will not be able to use his paternity leave?
