The hon. Member for Hitchin (Alistair Strathern) mentioned the upcoming review of parental leave, and I am sure the Minister will mention it in summing up, but I really encourage the Government to support new clause 16 to grant entitlement to statutory adoption pay to the self-employed. We should be removing any barriers to adoption so that brilliant potential parents can adopt and some of our most vulnerable children can join their forever families.
