To ask the Minister for Women what measures have been put in place for women to achieve a better work-life balance. [123244]

Ms Hewitt

We are committed to giving women—and men—the chance to improve their work life balance. We have increased maternity pay and leave, introduced paid paternity leave, extended these rights to adoptive parents, and introduced a legal right for parents of children under six and disabled children under 18 to request to work flexibly.
