Written Question
Police: Maternity Leave
Wednesday 15th May 2024

Asked by: Navendu Mishra (Labour - Stockport)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he will (a) undertake a review of maternity leave entitlement for Police Officers and (b) update police regulations to reflect the outcome of that review.

Answered by Chris Philp - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Police Remuneration Review Body (PRRB) and Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB) consider and make recommendations to the Government on the pay, allowances, hours of duty and leave for police officers.

The Home Secretary’s remit letters, published on 20 December, do not ask the PRRB and SSRB to review maternity leave entitlements. However, the Government will give very careful consideration to any commentary or recommendations the Review Bodies may make on the current entitlements.
