Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the findings of the UK Civil Society Monitoring Report on implementation of the National Roma Integration Strategy in the UK in 2012 and 2013; what the (a) activities and (b) outputs have been of the ministerial working group on tackling inequalities experienced by Gypsies and Travellers since 2012; and if he will make a statement.

We have noted the Monitoring Report and the views expressed within it, and we are advancing such integration through our broader social inclusion and integration policies.

In relation to the Working Group, I refer the hon. Member to the answer of 11 November 2014, Official Report, House of Lords, Column WA36.
