Munira Wilson

Liberal Democrat — Twickenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 February 2026

Debate

Healthy Relationships

Contribution

I will just get to the end of my point, and then am very happy to give way. The time at which my husband wanted to take more parental leave when our first child was born was towards the end of the coalition Government, before the new parental leave rights had come into place. He could not take any paid leave, although we were able to afford for him to do that. I will come on to what I think we should be doing on parental leave and paternity pay, but will give way first.
