What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the number of employees who were unfairly dismissed when COVID-19 furlough payments came to an end?

The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (JRS) was a UK Government scheme administered by HM Revenue and Customs and unfair dismissal falls under UK employment law. I understand the latest UK Government release of Employment Tribunal and Employment Appeal Tribunal data is for the period to March 2021, well before the end of the JRS.
I am concerned we will see a rise in unfair dismissal cases. We continue to call upon the UK Government to stop stalling on its promised Employment Bill, establish the Single Enforcement Body and provide all workers with the employment rights and protections they deserve.
