Remit
We’re keen that improvements are made to the lives of Gypsy/Travellers. By reviewing the work of the previous Equal Opportunities Committees and through an awareness-raising afternoon with Gypsy/Travellers, we’ve identified that where Gypsy/Travellers live is often at the root of many problems that they face. As a result, we launched a call for evidence on accommodation.
We also held a separate inquiry into Gypsy/Travellers and care.
A report has now been published by the Committee:
1st Report, 2013 (Session 4): Where Gypsy /Travellers Live
