Home based working [House of Lords]

Published On: 19th March 2026

The Government has responded positively to the report by the House of Lords Home-Based Working Select Committee and shares its view that home-based working can play an important role in supporting productivity, well-being and labour market participation.

The Department for Business and Trade says it is delivering on commitments in Plan to Make Work Pay, by introducing changes through the Employment Rights Act 2025 to make it more likely that flexible working requests are accepted.

Home-based working includes part-time work, flexitime, term-time hours, compressed hours, and job sharing.
