Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will implement extended shared parental leave to grandparents.
We are currently evaluating the Shared Parental Leave and Pay schemes. This will look at the take up of leave and pay, barriers to take-up, and how Shared Parental Leave and Pay are being used in practice.
The evaluation will improve the evidence base and inform future policy development in this area.
