Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether she has had discussions with the Equality and Human Rights Commission on monitoring employer compliance with maternity-related workplace rights.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) regulates equality law across England, Wales and Scotland.

The EHRC is independent of the government and makes its own enforcement and regulation decisions. The Government regularly engages with EHRC on a range of areas covered in their remit.
