"One survey said that three quarters of mothers return to work before
they feel ready. This may change as Patricia Hewitt, the Minister for
Women and Equality, has said that the Government will extend paid
maternity leave to nine months by 2007 and to twelve months by the end
of the next Parliament."

Who is going to pay for it? That's right. Everyone who doesn't have an
MP's pension.

Out of interest Patricia, this mother who had 13 children in 16 years,
exactly how does a company employ her if she works for just
3 years between the age of 20 and 36, yet retains promotion and payrise
rights? Exactly what is she going to be qualified to do when she comes
back as director, having started out as a shop assistant.
