Business of the House

Debate between Chris Grayling and Kate Osamor

Thursday 14th April 2016 Commons Chamber

[Chris Grayling]

I pay tribute to that work around the country, not just in the hon. Gentleman’s constituency. Those volunteers turn up at events all over the country, week in, week out, year in, year out, and we are immensely grateful to them for what they do. Fortunately, the Chair of the Backbench Business Committee is still in his place and will have heard that representation.

[Kate Osamor (Edmonton) (Lab/Co-op)]

In Women and Equalities questions the Minister for Skills indicated that he would welcome a debate in this Chamber on maternity discrimination. Will the Leader of the House arrange a debate on that subject in Government time?
