answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2015 answer text <p>The Government provides comprehensive guidance on statutory paternity leave and pay on the GOV.UK website.</p><p>The right to take paternity leave is now well established. The latest information from the Maternity and Paternity Rights Survey undertaken in 2009-10 suggests that 91% of fathers take some time off after their babies’ birth.</p><p>The Coalition Government undertook a campaign to raise awareness of the introduction of Shared Parental Leave, which came into force on 1 December 2014 for parents of children due (or placed for adoption) on or after 5 April 2015. Shared Parental Leave enables fathers to play a greater role in raising their child and enables mothers to return to work at a time that is right for them.</p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Nick Boles question first answered 19/11/2015 14:14:37 answering member 3995 label Biography information for Nick Boles
