Proceeding contribution from Laura Moffatt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 October 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Jobs for the Girls: Two Years On.


Jobs for the Girls: Two Years On

I am pleased that the hon. Gentleman is talking about the dearth of flexible working for women, particularly in part-time work. Does he agree that it appears that women find themselves at the brunt of poor conditions and pay and are disadvantaged in the workplace because they happen to have a different anatomy and the equipment to carry a baby to term? Does he agree that we are penalising not only those women who look after a baby, but all women simply because they hold the equipment for carrying a baby to term?
