  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Flexible Working (Eligibility, Complaints and Remedies) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/3236) (“the 2002 Regulations”) which prescribed the employees eligible for the statutory right to request a contract variation, provided for under Section 80F of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (“the 1996 Act”). The 1996 Act was amended by the Work and Families Act 2006 to extend the scope of the right to employees caring for certain adults. The 2002 Regulations were amended by the Flexible Working (Eligibility, Complaints and Remedies) (Amendment) Regulations 2006 (“the 2006 Regulations”) to prescribe the categories of adult in respect of whom a qualifying employee may make a statutory request, and to make certain other related amendments.\nThese Regulations supplement the 2006 Regulations and insert two further categories of adult in the definition of “relative” which had been intended to be included in the 2006 Regulations.\nA Regulatory Impact Assessment of the costs and benefits of the 2006 Regulations, which was prepared on the basis of the inclusion of these two categories of adult, has been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament. Copies are available to the public from the Employment Relations Directorate, Department of Trade and Industry, 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0ET. The Assessment is also accessible at the Directorate’s website on www.dti.gov.uk/files/file35189.pdf.",
