Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to create a Roma integration strategy for after the UK leaves the EU.

The Government remains vigilant about the inequalities experienced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has brought forward a new and ambitious integration strategy. The Integrated Communities Strategy Green Paper, published in March, invites views on the Government’s vision for building strong integrated communities where people – whatever their background – live, work, learn and socialise together, based on shared rights, responsibilities and opportunities. We encourage all groups, including Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, to engage with the Green Paper.
