Another interesting issue identified by Ms Mangan in her opening statement relates to the legislation that has been proposed. She referred to the eligibility criteria and the provision on requests for remote working being submitted after 26 weeks. I ask her to elaborate on that. I think it is quite a sensible provision although obviously it is not applicable in all walks of life. It is just not an option for certain employers and certain industries. In general, however, I think it is quite a clever idea but I understand that it is a concern for Ms Mangan so I invite her to elaborate on that.
