Angela Crawley (Lanark and Hamilton East) (SNP)
While this Government have cut workers’ rights, attacked trade unions’ ability to organise and legislated to block women’s access to justice, the EU has protected maternity rights, strengthened paternity rights and upheld our fundamental rights. Does the Minister agree that EU membership will protect rights for women returning to employment?
Caroline Dinenage
I do not agree that this Government have undermined women’s rights, but I agree that the EU has done an enormous amount to protect them.
