Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to lower the level of fees for access to employment tribunals.

The Justice Secretary is committed to reviewing the impact of the introduction of fees in the employment tribunal system. The Ministry of Justice is currently finalising arrangements for the timing and scope of the review to ensure that the impacts can be properly assessed. An announcement will be made when the review begins, and again when it has been completed, setting out the results.
