I pay tribute to the businesses that already offer bereavement leave, including many small and medium-sized enterprises, for those who miscarry. It may be informal. The British Beauty Council said that it was supportive of this measure, because it gives a framework for employers to know what is the right thing to do when an employee comes in and says, “I have lost my pregnancy.” We had streams of evidence, including from Dentsu and the Co-op. It is incredible that business communities out there have led the way and legislation now follows. That goes for the largest public sector employer of women: the NHS.
