Pregnancy Discrimination Investigation (EDM767)

Pregnancy Discrimination Investigation

EDM number 767 in 2003-04, proposed by Julie Morgan on 03/03/2004.

That this House welcomes the first ever investigation into pregnancy discrimination which has been launched by the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC); notes with concern that the EOC helpline receives more calls from women facing problems at work because of pregnancy than on any other subject; further expresses alarm that women have been demoted, disciplined or sacked simply for having a baby; strongly believes that the UK economy needs the skills and experience of pregnant women in the workplace and women returning from maternity leave; and calls on the Government to act upon the findings of the investigation to put a stop to pregnancy discrimination.

This motion has been signed by a total of 97 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
