Member of Parliament for the Cities of London and Westminster, Nickie Aiken, spoke out in the House of Commons to champion her Private Members Bill which seeks to enhance workplace rights for those going through fertility treatment.
 

Speaking in the Chamber, Nickie said,

"It is important to provide women who are pregnant or on maternity leave with workplace protections. Do women trying to get pregnant by undergoing fertility treatment deserve the same employment rights as those who get pregnant naturally?"

Minister for Enterprise and Markets, Dean Russell MP, replied,

"My hon. Friend has done incredible work on her private Member’s Bill. Officials and I are looking at it very closely. I applaud her for her work not just on that but generally. She is a staunch, hardworking Member for her constituents."
