Answer
We intend to legislate to repeal the caste duty as soon as we have a suitable legislative vehicle and parliamentary time, and we expect to publish guidance on caste and the Equality Act before the summer.
My Hon Friend will know that I have been determined to ensure this issue is resolved since I became Minister for Women and Equalities.
