Written question asked by Kirsten Oswald (Scottish National Party) on Tuesday, 25 January 2022, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 19 January 2022. It was answered by Paul Scully (Conservative) on Tuesday, 25 January 2022 on behalf of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 19 July 2021 to Question 32423, on Parental Leave, when he plans to publish the report of his Department's evaluation of the Shared Parental Leave scheme.

Answer

Evaluating Shared Parental Leave and Pay is an important part of the policymaking process.

As part of the evaluation, we commissioned large, representative surveys of parents and employees which asked about a range of parental leave and pay entitlements as well as their experience of Shared Parental Leave specifically. We also consulted on high-level options for reforming parental leave and pay.

We are currently analysing this information and will publish our findings in due course.
