A Bill to require the Secretary of State to report to Parliament on the merits of extending eligibility for statutory adoption pay to persons who are self-employed or contractors; and for connected purposes.
This bill would require the Secretary of State to report to Parliament on the merits of extending Statutory Adoption Pay to self-employed people and contractors. It does not change eligibility itself, but asks for an official assessment that could inform future policy decisions. In short, it's a formal step to consider whether self-employed workers can receive SAP in future.
