Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Paul Scully and Craig Tracey

Wednesday 17th June 2020 Commons Chamber

[Paul Scully]

They may not get their first choice of childcare provisions, but their local authority will be able to guide them. None the less, it remains the case that there should be flexible working: if people can work from home, they should be able to work from home, and employers need to be mindful of that.

[Craig Tracey (North Warwickshire) (Con)]
