Flexible Working: Women
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps the Government is taking to support flexible working by women.
Answered by Justin Madders
Through the recently introduced Employment Rights Bill, we are amending existing legislation to ensure employers accept flexible working requests, except where they are not reasonably feasible. These changes will support employees to access flexible working, including women. We know flexible working is particularly important supporting women who combine work with caring responsibilities.
