Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, with reference to the Law Commission report entitled Employment Law Hearing Structures: Report, published April 2020, what progress he has made on extending the time limit for all employment tribunal claims to six months.

The Government continues to keep of Employment Tribunal time limits under review.

Any decision to extend Employment Tribunal time limits will need to take account of the effect on the wider justice system, as well as the effect on Acas, who are responsible for conducting early conciliation.
