Maternity Protection (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
I have already given a broad outline of the provisions included in section 7, which deals with the issue of attendance at ante-natal classes, and section 8, which provides for entitlements for breastfeeding mothers. Entitlement to paid time off from work to attend one complete set of ante-natal classes does not include the last three classes in such a set as ordinarily these are attended during the employee's pre-confinement maternity leave.
