I am grateful to the hon. Lady for giving me the opportunity to intervene. I am sorry that she has missed the ball, as she has mentioned twice.
The hon. Lady is making an important point about the extension of the right to request and the work-life balance, and I welcome what she says, but we have been told by Opposition Members about the role of business and the CBI, so is she committing her party to supporting an extension of the right to request, even though organisations such as the CBI are opposed to it?
