I know that the Government and the Mayor of London have been involved in a considerable amount of civil proceedings in the past couple of years. One of the routes taken there was, in effect, to use a private mediation service to see whether the civil proceedings could be dealt with there. There was a change of Government, so I am not exactly sure what happened; nevertheless, it did not involve ACAS, so I think that it would be worth while to reconsider that element.
