Caste as an aspect of race

Section 97: Equality Act 2010: caste as an aspect of race

611.This section amends section 9(5) of the Equality Act 2010 so as to place a duty on a Minister of the Crown to make an order which includes “caste” within the definition of “race” in section 9 of that Act.

612.Under section 9(5)(b), a Minister of the Crown may also by order amend that Act to include exceptions for caste, or make particular provisions of that Act apply in relation to caste in some but not other circumstances.

613.This section also provides a power to enable a Minister to review section 9(5) of the Equality Act 2010 and any orders made under it. The Minister must publish a report on the outcome of any such review.

614.The power to review cannot be exercised earlier than five years after the day on which the Act was passed, which was 25 April 2013. Once the five year period has passed, this power may be exercised more than once.

615.If it is considered appropriate, in the light of the outcome of a review, the Minister may by order repeal or otherwise amend section 9(5) of the Equality Act 2010.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
