May contain errors — check source documents for definitive information.
This Bill would require the Secretary of State to prepare and lay a report in Parliament examining whether Statutory Adoption Pay should be extended to people who are self-employed or work as contractors. The report would assess the merits, possible options, and impacts of such an extension and does not itself change current SAP eligibility. It is a formal step to consider a future policy change, not an immediate entitlement extension.
