Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, when he will bring forward plans to give staff an additional three days of paid leave for volunteering; what estimate he has made of the potential cost of this policy to the (a) private sector and (b) public sector; and how many staff in the (i) private sector and (ii) public sector would be granted such additional paid leave.

My Department will publish proposals for consultation in due course, including an impact assessment on which we will welcome comments.
