My Lords, will the Minister give an example of the elements of trade—

Employment: Tribunals
Debate between Baroness Evans of Bowes Park and Lord Harrison
Baroness Evans of Bowes Park
I am afraid that I will have to take that question back and return to the noble Lord at a later stage.
Lord Harrison (Lab)
Will the Minister address the problem raised by the noble Lord, Lord Pannick, about small businesses being prevented by rising court fees from having justice within the system? That was something echoed last week when we talked about late payment of commercial debt.
Baroness Evans of Bowes Park
My Lords, we are doing everything we can to ensure that everybody has fair access to the justice system. Part of the reason we reformed the employment tribunals was very much so that small businesses could therefore start to be able to deal with these and go through conciliation.
