answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2017 answer text <p>The Government’s response to Women and Equalities Select Committee Inquiry into pregnancy and maternity discrimination earlier this year said that we “will consider further and bring forward proposals to ensure that the protections in place for those who are pregnant or returning from maternity leave are sufficient”. We are reviewing whether we need stronger protection against redundancy for pregnant women and women returning from maternity leave and will consult on options in due course.</p><p>The Government has no plans to address the use of confidentiality agreements. Employees and employers need the freedom to reach a mutually acceptable negotiated settlement, so the Government does not want to impose further constraints on the provisions of settlement agreements.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 17/10/2017 15:30:25 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton
