	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2015 answer text <p>This Government opposes caste discrimination. We are aware of the Employment Appeal Tribunal judgment in the case of Tirkey v Chandok which opens the possibility that a legal remedy for claims of caste-associated discrimination already exists under current legislation, namely the ethnic origins element of Section 9 of the Equality Act 2010. We are considering the implications of the judgment for discrimination law and specifically for the duty on caste in Section 9 (5) of the Act.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 08/06/2015 11:21:03 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

The independent Administrator of the Fund is preparing a report with data on demand, the different types of support that applicants required, and the extent to which funding helped them compete on level terms with other candidates. Applicants have been invited to complete an online survey, the results of which are being collated.
