HC Deb 20 February 1990 vol 167 c676W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what paternity leave is allowed to staff in his Department; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Neubert

At present, paternity leave is not available to civil servants. The Treasury is, however, finalising arrangements for the introduction of an entitlement to two days paid paternity leave.
