Proceeding contribution from Gerry Sutcliffe (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Work and Families Bill.


Work and Families Bill

The hon. Gentleman is describing the reason why we want to consult on how to deal with the additional paternity leave. We shall do that, and we shall have discussions with small businesses about the issue. I am concerned that the hon. Gentleman seems to be talking about regulation in general, rather than the direct payments proposed in the Bill. Does he consider a benefit of £400,000, following an investment of £38 million, to represent value for money for the taxpayer?
