Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the press release by the Trades Union Congress on employment tribunal claims, published on 4 November 2016, if she will make an assessment of the implications for her policies of the potential effect of employment tribunal fees on the number of people able to challenge employment discrimination in the workplace.

The Government is undertaking a post implementation review of the introduction of fees for proceedings in the Employment Tribunals. We expect to publish the conclusions of the review in due course.
