Ah, just found this:

"... Legislation introduced in 2003 allowed parents with children under the age of six to request flexible working from employers who were obliged to "seriously consider" any application and only reject it if there were "good business reasons for doing so"

Mind you, if it's as toothless as anti-ageist legislation, it wont make a s**ts worth of difference to those employers who don't want it.
