parents of children born in 2008 across Great Britain.</p><p> </p><p>This shows that
in 2008, 73% of fathers who took some time off used paternity leave. Of fathers who
took paternity leave, 50% took two weeks of leave, 16 per cent took more than two
weeks and 34 per cent took less than two weeks.</p><p> </p><p>We are currently commissioning
