The Government continue to engage with, and take timely and expert feedback from, a range of stakeholders, including business, and we will regularly consult with them to provide this important source of evidence. Alongside the legislative changes, a code of practice will be published to assist employers to consider requests and meet their obligations under the new reasonableness test. This is not in the Bill, as the Government have existing powers. It is an important part of our plan to ensure that more flexible working requests are agreed where feasible.
