The Interdepartmental Working Group, established in early 2008 to review maternity, parental and paternity leave under a commitment in the Agreed Programme for Government and the Social Partnership Agreement "Towards 2016", is expected to report in the near future. I look forward to receiving the report and to formulating proposals, as may be appropriate, on the basis of the recommendations contained in it.
