Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, how many employment tribunal claims (a) for unfair dismissal and (b) under the Equality Act 2010 have been brought against her Department in each of the last five years.

Data specific to DSIT is only available from July 2024 onwards, prior to this data was categorised under BEIS and so we are unable to determine if cases relate to DSIT or DESNZ.

1. 3 claims of unfair dismissal, all raised in 2025
2. 7 claims under the Equality Act 2010, 1 raised in 2024 and 6 raised in 2025
