This Bill is part of a wider package of statutory worklife balance measures to which my Department is committed under the Sustaining Progress partnership agreement. Yesterday, the Government approved the drafting of amendments to the Adoptive Leave Act which will apply the appropriate outstanding recommendations of the maternity protection review group to the adoptive leave legislation. It is the Government's intention to incorporate the necessary amendments to the adoptive leave legislation into the Bill once it passes to Committee Stage. Furthermore, the parental leave legislation is also due to be amended in line with the agreed recommendations of the working group on the review of that Act.
