Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to his Department's consultation entitled Good Work Plan: Proposals to support families, published on 19 July 2019, whether it is still his Department's policy to bring forward legislative proposals on flexible working; and when he plans to publish a response to that consultation.

The Government responded to the flexible working elements of the “Good Work Plan: Proposals to support families” consultation in September 2021. This document “Making Flexible Working the Default” consulted on a range or proposals to make flexible working more accessible. The government will publish its response in due course.
