Parliament must legislate immediately to boost business productivity, lift working families out of poverty, and completely end the unfair motherhood penalty for a much fairer and Prosperous future and change society as we know it.","additional_details":"I seriously don’t believe that something as small as gender should have an effect on pay in jobs by 12.8% and actually don’t think that our pay should be defined by gender anyway. Please change this so what we leave behind for our children is not prejudice and discrimination against a gender as a whole but instead an equal society teaching them that we should all accept and support one and another.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":9,"created_at":"2026-06-12T21:20:06.978Z","updated_at":"2026-07-10T13:40:52.233Z","rejected_at":"2026-07-10T13:40:50.955Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-06-12T22:08:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"no-action","details":"There is already legislation in place to tackle this - we do not know what the nature is of the new legislation you are calling for."},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
