Families
Over the past 12 years, Labour has always supported hard working families. New parents have been given new rights, with longer and better paid maternity leave and paternity leave for dads. And as children get older, the Labour government is providing more financial support than ever before to help parents balance their family finances and save for their children’s future.
Thanks to this Labour government:
New mums now have 9 months paid maternity leave and maternity pay is up to £112.75 a week.
A right to paternity leave for all dads
Parents of young and disabled children have the new right to request flexible working.
All parents can get help saving for their children’s future with the Child Trust Fund, with the most help going to the poorest children and children in care.
The Working Tax Credit provides help with childcare, up to a maximum eligible amount of £300 per week

Today’s pensioners are better off than any previous generation – for the first time, pensioners are less likely to be poor than people of working age.
