Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to launch a further public consultation on treatment of caste-based discrimination as an aspect of race within the meaning of the Equality Act 2010.
We are currently considering the form and timing of the public consultation in the light of ongoing caste discrimination litigation in the Employment Appeal Tribunal. We will await the outcome of the judgment before deciding in what form to issue the public consultation.
