Proceeding contribution from Diana Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 March 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Women, Justice and Gender Equality.


Women, Justice and Gender Equality

The hon. Lady talked about learning lessons from the US about the flexibilities that had been introduced there. However, the US is not a good example, because of its culture of very long hours. The majority of workers have two weeks’ holiday a year, so their economy is very different from ours in the UK.
