Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 4 December 2018 to Question 195661 on paternity leave, what the timescale is for commissioning a new survey into family-related leave and pay entitlements.

I can confirm that the new survey into family-related leave and pay entitlements - including Paternity Leave - has been commissioned. Data collection is due to start shortly; subject to the progress of this, we can expect to be in a position to publish findings later this year.
