Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, how much the Equality and Human Rights Commission has spent settling discrimination and equal pay claims (a) internally, (b) before an employment tribunal determination and (c) after an employment tribunal determination in the last 10 years.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is an independent body and makes its own decisions about handling discrimination and equal pay claims. I have therefore asked the Chief Executive of the Commission to write to the honourable member with the information requested. I will place a copy of the letter in the libraries of both Houses.
