John Lamont

Conservative — Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 February 2025

Debate

Career Breaks: Parents of Seriously Ill Children

Contribution

My hon. Friend is speaking very well about the challenges and issues. It was great to meet Christina and Skye before the debate started. Does my hon. Friend recognise that many employers follow good practice, paying parents during a time of care and keeping jobs open, but the petitioner and I are concerned about those employers who are not following good practice? That, I hope, is what the Government will address.
