Statutory family related leave entitlements focus on employees as they have less flexibility and autonomy over the work they do and when they take time off work.</p><p> </p><p>The Government agrees with the principle of equalising parental benefits for the employed and self-employed. But as set out in the Government Response to the Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices, it is right to only consider making changes to this area once we have carefully considered this in the wider context of tax, benefits and rights over the longer term.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 15/10/2018 14:00:20 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
