<p><br>Following the closure of the Government’s consultation on ‘Caste in Great Britain
and Equality Law’ on 18 September 2017, we received 42 late responses in five separate
postal mailings. This constituted 0.26% of the total number of responses received,
and included responses from both those in favour of and those opposed to explicit
legal protection against caste discrimination being included in the Equality Act 2010.
Almost all late responses were campaign responses identical to others which had arrived
on time.</p><p>Respondents had already had almost six months to reply to the consultation,
and late responses were not taken into account in the Government’s analysis of the
consultation’s results. The Government will be publishing this analysis and its response
to the consultation in due course.</p>
