Badenoch's maternity pay comment: Another example of Tory sleaze and scandal
1 Oct 2024
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
After Kemi Badenoch's comments on maternity pay earlier today, Liberal Democrat Women and Equalities Spokesperson Christine Jardine MP said:
“It is this kind of out touch comment that shows yet again why the Conservatives got trounced at the last election.
“The Conservative Party should focus also on championing policies that support British families, rather than the constant Tory sleaze and scandal we’ve become all too familiar with.
"The Liberal Democrats’ proposals would give new parents the choice and flexibility they need, including boosting statutory pay for new parents, and a new ‘dad month’ to help more fathers take time off work to be with their new baby during the first year."
