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

I accept that the hon. Lady is sincere and I accept the view of the hon. Member for Peterborough (Mr. Jackson) that the Labour party does not have a monopoly when it comes to political parties caring about employees and working conditions. The proof of the pudding, however, is the action that is taken. The Opposition talk about attacking business where necessary, but the article gives the impression that, in this instance, paternity leave may not be appropriate.
