<p>All Government departments have a responsibility to comply with the Public Sector
Equality Duty (PSED) under the Equality Act 2010.</p><p>As such, when formulating
any policy changes, Ministers must have due regard to the need to: (1) eliminate discrimination,
harassment, victimisation and any other conduct prohibited by or under the Equality
Act 2010, (2) advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant
protected characteristic and those who do not, and (3) foster good relations between
people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.</p><p>This ongoing
duty has been and will continue to be met. The consultation document has addressed
these three limbs of the PSED which are referenced on pages 21 to 22 (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/844954/Unauthorised_Encampments_-_consultation_paper.pdf).</p>
