Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, with reference to Caste in Great Britain and equality law: a public consultation, which closed on 18 September 2017, when the Government plans to publish its response to that consultation.

Government received over 16,000 responses to the public consultation, confirming that this is an extremely sensitive and emotive subject. We are currently considering these responses carefully to ensure that there is appropriate legal protection against caste discrimination in the UK, and will publish a response in due course.
