MPs debated draft regulations that would extend most employment tribunal time limits from three months to six months from 1 October 2026, alongside related changes for breach of contract claims in England and Wales. Supporters said the extra time will help workers, especially those facing maternity discrimination, to get advice and prepare cases; critics warned the change will add pressure to an already overloaded tribunal system and asked what extra resources would follow.

Ministers said the longer deadline would give people a fairer chance to prepare and fit with wider reforms, but opponents warned it would add to an already overloaded tribunal system, where cases are taking years to clear. The Government said it is pursuing a phased overhaul, with more judges, more hearing capacity and a new Fair Work Agency from 2027, but the amendment was withdrawn after no firm answer on how delays would be tackled.
