That matter has not been addressed by the report. I urge the hon. Gentleman to address his questions to Work and Pensions Ministers.
Kate Green (Stretford and Urmston) (Lab)
Matthew Taylor urges the Government to consider reducing tribunal fees. May I urge the Minister to go further, particularly in relation to pregnancy discrimination? Get on with abolishing them, and extend the period during which a case can be brought before a tribunal, because a period of pregnancy and maternity is a busy time when people are unlikely to be thinking about a court case.
Margot James
I agree with the hon. Lady’s concluding remarks and hope she will input her views as part of the consultation.
