answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2024 answer text <p>The Cabinet Office Maternity Leave policy outlines the support available for Cabinet Office employees who are returning to work after maternity leave. Employees are protected from suffering any detriment as a result of taking maternity leave and will return to work on terms and conditions no less favourable than the ones that would have applied had they not been absent. They will also receive any relevant pay awards.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>A new risk assessment is carried out for staff that are pregnant or that have recently given birth to help them return to work. This considers the specific health and safety of the individuals and is regularly reviewed until the measures introduced as part of the assessment are no longer needed.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Cabinet Office employees are offered flexibility, for example to initially help their child settle into childcare, when returning to work from maternity leave. Employees are encouraged to discuss with their Line Managers how they can support the individual in making the transition back to work as smooth as possible.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>If employees wish to return to work using a different working pattern, they are encouraged to speak to their Line Manager as early as possible so they can support the employee’s return to work. All requests are considered in line with the Cabinet Office Flexible Working policy. Individuals also have a statutory right to request flexible working.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>If the employee is still breastfeeding when they return to work and require a place to rest and store expressed milk, there are avenues of support available. They should let their Line Manager know a few weeks before they return to work so the Line Manager can organise a suitable space for the individual. Cabinet Office has guidance on facilities to support pregnant and nursing employees.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 26/02/2024 11:46:29 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2023 answer text <p>Pay for grades below the Senior Civil Service is delegated to departments. Pay awards are made by individual departments, in consideration of their own priorities and affordability, and discussed with their trade unions.</p><p>The pay remit guidance is a cost control document and allows departments to seek further flexibility for a pay award above the headline range for pay awards, as demonstrated by pay deals in Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs and the Ministry of Justice in previous years.</p><p>It is important that pay awards for civil servants are affordable, as well as fair to both staff and the taxpayer. The pay remit guidance considers economic conditions while balancing the need for sustainable public finances. The 2023/24 guidance will be published this year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Jeremy Quin question first answered 27/02/2023 18:12:56 answering member 4507 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2021 answer text <p>The public rightly expects efficient and independent regulation of the electoral system. The Government has proposed a series of measures in the Elections Bill that will facilitate parliamentary scrutiny of the Electoral Commission’s work, while respecting their independence.</p><p>The Bill makes provisions for the introduction of a Strategy and Policy Statement that will set out guidance and principles, which the Commission will have to have regard to in the discharge of their functions. The Commission will remain independent and the Statement will not replace or undermine the Commission’s other statutory duties. The Statement will also be subject to statutory consultation with the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, the Speaker’s Committee on the Electoral Commission, the Commission themself and the Devolved Administrations before being submitted to parliamentary approval. The Statement will not affect the ability of the Commission to undertake enforcement activity as they see fit, having had regard to the Statement, but will ensure greater accountability to Parliament on how the Electoral Commission discharge their functions.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 14/09/2021 16:48:03 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
