<p>This Government has been giving consideration to the legal position on caste discrimination
in light of the <em>Tirkey v Chandhok</em> Employment Appeal Tribunal judgment which
suggests there is an existing legal remedy for claims of caste-associated discrimination
under the ‘ethnic origins’ element of Section 9 of the Equality Act 2010.</p><p>Our
consideration of the research report commissioned by the coalition Government, designed
to determine the feasibility of conducting a national survey to quantify the extent
of caste discrimination in Britain, is part of this process.</p><p>We remain mindful
of the Open Government Action Plan published by the Coalition Government in 2013,
to the extent that this concerns the results of commissioned research.</p><br />
