answer text <p>The Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills has not held any meetings with external stakeholders to discuss the findings of the research study into pregnancy and maternity-related discrimination. Officials from the Department have participated in round table meetings with stakeholders which have been organised by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). These meetings, and the research findings, will inform the EHRC’s recommendations to Government.</p><p>Pregnancy and maternity discrimination is unlawful and unacceptable, which is why the Government and the EHRC jointly funded independent research into the perceived problem. This is the largest research of its kind to be undertaken in Great Britain. Interim findings were published in July 2015 and can be found at: <a href="http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/publication/pregnancy-and-maternity-related-discrimination-and-disadvantage-first-findings-surveys-employers-and-0" target="_blank">http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/publication/pregnancy-and-maternity-related-discrimination-and-disadvantage-first-findings-surveys-employers-and-0</a></p><p>The final report is due to be published later this year, and will inform the Government’s response.</p>

answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance of sustaining a vibrant research community across the UK. A key criterion for allocating the £4.6billion per year of research funding is “maintaining a substantial flow of new researchers and high level skills”. Research Councils support 10,000 researchers many of whom are in early research careers, as well as Doctoral Training Centres. National Academies also support early-career researchers with the potential to become leaders in their chosen fields.</p> more like this
