Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the effect of the proposed closure of ACAS's Liverpool office on access to justice; and if he will make a statement.

Acas assesses that there will be no impact on access to justice arising from the closure of the Liverpool Office. Acas is committed to maintaining the service it provides to users of its services in Merseyside. Most customer contact is by telephone and is unaffected. Acas will continue to offer face-to-face meetings in Merseyside as required.
