HC Deb 22 May 1984 vol 60 c442W
Mrs. Ann Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many female employees in his Department have been granted maternity leave in each year since 1974; and what was the total duration of such leave in each of those years.

Mr. Gummer

This information is not available centrally. It could only be obtained by a scrutiny of current and past individual staff records at a disproportionate cost.
