	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2018 answer text <p>There was one prosecution under s175 (1)(a) and 2 of the Equalities Act in 2011/12. This creates offences in relation to access to public service vehicles. In accordance with CPS Retention Policy a case involving an offence under section 175 of the Equalities Act 2010 would be archived one year following sentencing. Therefore, no further information is held about the case in question.</p><p>Section 9 of the Equality Act 2010 defines the protected characteristics of ‘race’. Race includes colour, nationality and ethnic or national origins. Ethnic or national origins include being from a Roma or Traveler background, therefore the CPS prosecutes crimes against the Gypsy and Traveller communities under other legislation, in particular hate crimes against the community.</p><p>A programme of CPS mandated training for prosecutors, including racially aggravated crime, was developed and completed by the start of 2017.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 19/02/2018 09:33:31 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
