Petition More maternity leave and pay for parents of multiples

The government and employers must rub their hands in delight of the money they save when they hear someone is expecting multiples, as they must save a lot of money only having to give one lot of maternity leave and one lot of statutory maternity pay. Parents of multiples deserve more.

More details

Parents of multiples at the moment are only entitled to the same as parents that have only had one child. Surely that is not fair, especially when it is hard enough to adapt to looking after more than one baby at a time.
