Proceeding contribution from Baroness Featherstone (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 November 2010. It occurred during Urgent question on Socio-economic Equality Duty.


Socio-economic Equality Duty

Of course, the right for all employees to request flexible working is a hugely important step and extremely progressive. It is about shifting the stigma that has always appertained to women requesting flexible working, and accepting that in whole-life journeys we all have caring responsibilities, including men, who were part of the equation last time I looked.
