Written Question
Maternity Leave
Monday 13th January 2025

Asked by: Mims Davies (Conservative - East Grinstead and Uckfield)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what role the Fair Work Agency will play in ensuring businesses observe best practice when granting their employees maternity leave.

Answered by Justin Madders - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)

We are creating the Fair Work Agency to deliver a much-needed upgrade to enforcement of workers’ rights.

The Fair Work Agency will work closely with the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS), which already provides guidance for both employers and workers in these specific areas, to deliver appropriate support to the majority of businesses who want to comply with the law.
