answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2016 answer text <p>The apparent increase in the number of complaints to the Employment Tribunals of equal pay made by men in 2015 was principally due to two large multiple claims issued during the year, involving mainly male claimants. Multiple claims are inherently more variable than single claims and comparisons which include multiple claims can be misleading about the trends in Tribunal caseloads.</p><p> </p><p>We are undertaking a review of the impact of the introduction of fees in the Employment Tribunals. This will include an assessment of the impact of fees on the volumes of Employment Tribunal claims including in relation to gender and other protected characteristics.</p> answering member constituency North West Cambridgeshire answering member printed Mr Shailesh Vara question first answered 20/04/2016 13:48:50 answering member 1496 label Biography information for Shailesh Vara
