Lord Kirkhope of Harrogate (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 May 2026

Debate

Self-employed: Paternity Leave

Contribution

Will the Minister confirm that, compared to years ago, when society put more responsibility on mothers than it should in bringing up children, society is now much better, in that fathers share responsibilities far more than they did then? Will she therefore join me in congratulating those parents who work together to bring up their children to best effect?
