Miliband: 'Labour would increase paid paternity leave'
Ed Miliband says a Labour government would double the amount of paid paternity leave, from two weeks to four weeks if they win the general election in May.
Statutory paternity pay would increase from £120 to £260 a week, paid for by savings in tax credits.
Business leaders have opposed the measure, saying there would be increased costs for employers, and it could potentially affect jobs and growth.
