Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many employment tribunal cases have been brought under equalities legislation (a) in each year since tribunal fees of £1,200 were introduced and (b) in the year prior to the introduction of those fees.

HM Courts & Tribunals Service publishes annual and quarterly data on the number of claims broken down by jurisdiction including those that relate to the Equality Act, which can be found using the following link:
