Julian Sturdy – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Julian Sturdy on 2015-11-24.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what account he has taken of trends in reports of pregnancy discrimination as in his review into employment tribunal fees.

Mr Shailesh Vara

On 11 June we announced the start of the post-implementation review of the introduction of fees in the Employment Tribunals. The review will consider, so far as is possible, the impact the fees have had on those with protected characteristics and the types of case they bring. In order to do this, we will be giving all relevant material the appropriate consideration.

The review is underway and will report in due course.
