The situation seems a bit ridiculous. As I said previously, this should be a good news story but it is not at that level yet. I do not understand why small cafés and restaurants would be required to have a remote working policy when it is not viable or feasible for them to offer remote working. I raise the matter of work-related accidents in the home. As an employer, I am well aware of this issue. My concern is the implications for employers and who determines where the liability is. I ask both Ms King and Ms McElwee to comment on that.
