That is why we committed in our Manifesto to reform redundancy law so companies cannot
discriminate against women after they have returned from maternity leave.</p><p>The
Government is currently undertaking the Maternity and Paternity Rights Survey which
surveys over 3,000 parents across Great Britain to understand leave and employment
decisions when they have a baby, this includes a question on whether a parent experienced
any discrimination at work.</p><p>The Government will undertake further research into
pregnancy and maternity related discrimination when the current package of interventions
has had time to take effect.</p>
