Shared Parental Leave Proposals Ignore Needs of Business

Commenting on today’s Government announcement concerning Shared Parental Leave David Frost, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce, said,

"While Nick Clegg’s announcement may prove to be politically popular it fundamentally ignores the needs of business.

Last week, David Cameron claimed a pro-growth, pro-business, pro-jobs agenda, but now the Government expects small businesses to cope with yet more red tape".

David went on to say, "This is yet another example of rushed thinking. It suggests that the Government is out of touch with how to support business owners. This sort of red tape is like a sledgehammer hitting small businesses which should be sources of growth and jobs."

We agree with him, what do you think?
