    I think the budget is released next week and I seriously doubt it will contain any paid mat leave scheme. With the huge drop in revenue and the pressure on due to higher unemployment payements (cos more people need them) and a pension increase that was promised I can't see any "spare" cash for mums! Maybe next time?

    budget is released the second tuesday in may - but i'm kinda of the same opinion as CF - i doubt it will happen this year
