MPs are set to debate the introduction of paid miscarriage leave after a successful application by Lanark and Hamilton East MP Angela Crawley.
On Tuesday, March 8, the SNP MP will lead the debate in Westminster Hall as part of the campaign to introduce three days of paid leave for parents who experience miscarriage before 24 weeks.
One in four pregnancies end in miscarriage, however, under current legislation, workers are only entitled to bereavement leave following a stillbirth after 24 weeks of pregnancy.
