Suella Braverman, 40, who is expecting her second child at the beginning of next month, is the inspiration behind the Ministerial and Other Maternity Allowances Bill, which seeks to update the treatment of pregnant Cabinet ministers
The government has caved into a Lords revolt over a new law allowing ministers to go on paid maternity leave - after fury that it referred to pregnant people .
The legislation is being rushed through after it emerged that the Attorney General, Suella Braverman would have to resign from her post when she stops working to have her second child this month.
The legislation will give the PM the ability to designate a minister wishing to take maternity leave as a minister on leave .
Labour peer Lord Hunt of Kings Heath lashed out at the wording of a bill which would allow ministers to take paid maternity leave (Parliament)
A Labour politician who has never held elected office used the House of Lords to rage against trans-inclusive language being used in a maternity bill.
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath, who was appointed to the unelected chamber in 1997 and served as a minister under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, lashed out at the wording of a bill which would allow ministers to take paid maternity leave.
Hunt picked on language that applies parts of the law when “the person is pregnant” and after “the person has given birth,” in line with a long-standing and previously-uncontroversial convention to use gender-neutral language in legislation.
The Government has now launched a consultation into the provision of loos after decades of service inequality.
Women have long complained that they have had fewer stalls than men, but the issue has been ignored. In the meantime the number of council-maintained public conveniences has fallen by 13 per cent over the last decade, with cash-strapped local authorities turning facilities into gender-neutral spaces to save money.
Campaigners say the result is an even greater reduction in options for women, longer queues and the embarrassment of having to walk past men at a urinal to get to their cubicle. Conservative MP Jackie Doyle-Price, co-chairman of the all-party parliamentary group on women’s health, said it was ‘astonishing’ that there was a fight to preserve women’s toilets in the 21st Century.
