Justin Madders – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Justin Madders on 2016-01-20.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when the Government plans to publish the findings of its review of employment tribunal fees.

Mr Shailesh Vara

Following public consultation, the government introduced fees in Employment Tribunals as a way of reducing the burden on the taxpayer and to encourage parties to seek alternative ways of resolving their disputes.

On 11 June we announced the start of the post-implementation review of the introduction of fees in the Employment Tribunals.

The review will report in due course.
