Gloria De Piero MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities, responding to Nick Clegg’s re-announcement on parental leave, said:
 
“Nick Clegg claims to be on parents’ side but he and David Cameron have done nothing to support families in the last three years. Instead this out-of-touch Government has cut childcare support and places and there are now 578 fewer sure start centres than in 2010.

“This reheated announcement contains nothing new for families suffering from this Government’s cost of living crisis. It proves you can’t trust a word Nick Clegg says.”
