Rejected petition Working mums to to receive higher statutory maternity pay.

Working mums drop from their full wage to a very low statutory pay for those who have a mortgage etc this statutory pay isn't enough so therefore many mums aren't able to spend a lot of time with their new born babies before they have to go back to work to be able to afford to live.
