to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 7 July 2022 to Question 30022 on Employment Tribunals Service, whether his Department has taken recent steps to help increase the ability of Employment Tribunals to accept out of time applications.
