Shared Maternity Leave and Benefit Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (15 Nov 2018)

John Lahart: This remains to be seen, but I have confidence in the Minister of State. The point I was making is that the Library and Research Service seems to contradict what the Minister said. It calls to mind the great quote from the movie, "The Shawshank Redemption" where the governor is asked if he is being deliberately obtuse. I thought the tone of the Minister's contribution was quite...

The Library and Research...
