Mr. Dermot Mulligan:

The point is that this is legislation to create a floor to give an employee a right to request remote working; it is not to try to constrain the many companies and employees involved in remote work 100% of the time in various locations. We are trying to include a floor, not a ceiling. There is absolutely no limit to the possibilities regarding what firms or employees can do through remote working. It is for them to agree as part of their normal relationships.
