The Green Party of England and Wales has formally backed a four day working week for the first time. Members of the party voted to support the policy at their autumn conference in Brighton. 

Previously, leading Greens had given warm support for the principle of a four day week, but it did not formally sit in the party’s policy book. 

Following the motion, the party has endorsed moving towards a 32 hour working week in the medium term. According to the party’s new policy, workers would have a ‘right to request these reduced hours at no loss of pay and without detriment’. 

The motion was overwhelmingly passed by members at the conference.
