Department for Business and Trade: Employment Tribunals Service
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many employment tribunal claims have been lodged against his Department in for (a) unfair dismissal and (b) claims under the Equality Act 2010 in each of the last five years.
Answered by Kate Dearden
On 1st July 2023 due to a Machinery of Government Change, the Department of International Trade (DIT) became the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), alongside parts of the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). We therefore only hold information from DBT from 1st July 2023, and information from DIT before this date, and all information shared will be within these parameters.
