Further to my reply to Parliamentary Questions no. 216 and 231 of 5 July 2022, preparation of the general scheme to grant an entitlement of maternity leave to local authority elected members is being prioritised in my Department. Once approved by Government, the general scheme will be forwarded to the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel for drafting of the Bill and published when that process is complete.
