Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions on support for women on maternity leave in Scotland.

This Government is committed to ensuring families have the best start in life.

Through the Employment Rights Bill, we will strengthen the protections for pregnant women, and new mothers returning to work.

These legislative measures aim to tackle maternity and pregnancy discrimination and avoid women leaving the workforce.
