Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the average time to complete a single employment tribunal claim was in each year since 2010.

HM Courts & Tribunals Service can only provide data for the period 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2019. Data below the level of published statistics are not available prior to 1 April 2014 due to a data reconciliation exercise.
