Department for Business and Trade written question – answered at on 28 November 2024.
Andrew Griffith
Shadow Secretary of State for Business and Trade
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department offers paternity leave to its staff from their first working day.
Justin Madders
Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade), Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)
The Department offers Paternity Leave in line with the statutory approach and will be reviewing its policy following the changes brought in by the Employment Rights Bill. Paternity Leave is set to become a day one right, removing the current continuity of service requirements and bringing 32,000 fathers and partners into scope. The Employment Rights Bill means stronger, more family-friendly employment rights for workers and will ensure a fairer and more equal labour market.
