Mothers At Home Matter responds to the Prime Minister’s LinkedIn post today. When the time is right, it would be good to support mothers back into work with returner schemes and acknowledgement that they have gained important skills whilst childrearing. This is not necessarily at nine months when an infant still needs its mother or primary carer.

The Chancellor in his Spring Statement said that the number one priority in the Conservatives desire for tax reform is to reduce taxes for ‘hard-working families’. The tax system does not recognise the ‘family’, writes our Chair, Anne Fennell. All tax cuts are for ‘hardworking individuals’. Focused tax cuts should be on HOUSEHOLD incomes with children.
