Equality Bill

My Lords, as I have said, the Government are in the process of commissioning further research as recommended by the ACDA report. At the same time, we are considering the Supreme Court’s judgment in the JFS case and whether any legislative response is needed in the light of that. We will report back to your Lordships on these actions on Report, when the Government’s thinking on caste and descent has developed a bit further. Pending that, I hope that noble Lords will not press their amendments.
