This is great news for future Dads - I'm really pleased to have pushed for this with @dadshiftuk and fellow Dad MPs from across the country 👨🍼.
I know how hard it is for new parents juggling childcare and work. Right now, one in three dads don’t take paternity leave because they can’t afford it — that's just not fair. My government is launching a full review of our parental leave system to deliver for working parents.
