answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2015 answer text <p>This Government completely opposes caste discrimination. Since coming into office, we have been considering the caste duty, particularly in the light of the Tirkey v Chandok employment appeal tribunal judgment. That suggests an existing legal remedy for claims of caste-associated discrimination under the ethnic origins element of section 9 of the Equality Act 2010. We note this potential protection and will continue to look at this issue carefully.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 21/07/2015 14:27:37 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
