Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, on how many occasions probation staff have taken cases to employment tribunals on grounds of discrimination in each of the last three years.

Data on the number of claims made by probation staff on the grounds of discrimination are not collated centrally either by National Offenders Management Service or HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS). This information could only be provided at a disproportionate cost by manually checking hard copy files or judgments.
