To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of claims for (a) discrimination, (b) harassment and (c) unfair dismissal were brought by men in the last year for which records are available.

Answered by Sarah Sackman

Our latest published statistics for Employment Tribunals can be found using the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/tribunals-statistics.

This data details the number of receipts by jurisdiction and the number of claims disposed. The Department does not collect the proportion of those claims brought by gender or the number of claims relating to paternity leave.

This data is currently published up to March 2025 and only includes the cases received on digital systems and does not include those transitioned from paper-based systems.
