More research is needed to make a more informed decision

Maybe, why not trial it. More time off may result in happier economy which may result in less suicide and/crime rate. Maybe

It should be optional but if you opt for a 4 day working week you will not be eligible for overtime pay.

It's definitely worth experimenting with and trialling; I feel I need more information to have an informed view.

Only if it can definitely be shown to improve productivity and not damage the economy, whilst allowing flexibility for employers.

Yes, but only where it’s viable. Many service based businesses can do this, but businesses producing goods or agricultural products would find this difficult.
