Travellers: Equality
(asked on 23rd March 2018) - View Source
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the oral contribution of the Minister for the Cabinet Office and Paymaster General of 2 November 2016, Official Report, column 879, which Government Departments and agencies (a) do and (b) do not use the 2011 census classifications that differentiate Gypsies and Travellers.
The ethnicity data published on the Ethnicity Facts and Figures website includes data from the Census, published official statistics, numerous Government surveys and Departments’ own administrative records.
Currently, the website has 48 measures (web pages) that present data using the detailed classification of ethnicity developed for the 2011 Census, which includes Gypsy/Roma Travellers. These measures show data published by the following Government Departments and agencies: the Department for Education (DfE), Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), Home Office (HO), Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), and the Office for National Statistics (ONS). However, figures for the Gypsy/Roma Travellers (GRT) ethnic group in some of these measures were suppressed for reasons of confidentiality and/or because the numbers were too small to enable robust estimates to be produced.
DfE collects data using a variant on the 2011 Census ethnic classification but breaks it down further into Gypsy/Roma and Traveller of Irish Heritage children.
The table below details the 34 pages on the website that include data on Gypsy/Roma or Traveller of Irish Heritage or Gypsy, Traveller or Irish Traveller ethnic groups.
