TCLP-UK supports Keir Starmer if this report is factually correct, it has tremendous advantages to working parents, child care, environment in terms of lessening travel to and from work and when properly managed by the supervisors of the civil servants attain a high standard of work. The author knows this from being married to a wife who has been a civil servant for most of her working life. It is the quality of work that matters not just attendance at a place physically.
When a civil servants falls ill, he or she has a better chance of recovery that the author also found from his family circumstances.
To extend the work to 3 days or more attendance at the workplace instead of the present 2 will be like a punishment on the civil servant's family. Pay can be kept down too for the expenses of commuting to work in places like the major cities will lead to greater demand for more money.
So Keir Starmer, get on with pleasant policies like this.
