The Secretary of State has said of tribunal fees that

“there is no evidence yet that the bar being set at a high level has meant that…claims…aren’t being heard.”

If the review produces such evidence—as I believe it will, if properly conducted—will the Minister give a cast-iron commitment to abolish the fees system?
