NEWS - Flexible work changes may be 'reviewed'

Plans to increase parents' rights to request flexible working are to be reconsidered, Downing Street says. No 10 said Business Secretary Lord Mandelson was looking at "all regulations due to come into force", given the economic uncertainty.
But the spokesman said ministers wanted to help families, adding "no decisions have been taken on any of this". The flexible working scheme was due to be extended to 4.5m parents of children up to the age of 16 from next April.
