HC Deb 22 May 1984 vol 60 c432W
Mrs. Ann Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Defence 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. Pattie

It would involve disproportionate effort to extract the necessary information from computer records and from the manual records which for several years of the period in question preceded them.
