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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the Institute for Public Research report on Roma communities and Brexit: integrating and empowering Roma communities in the UK, published on 24 October 2016.

The Government has noted the conclusions of the report by the Institute for Public Policy Research report on Roma communities. The UK does have a strong legal framework which protects all individuals, including Roma, from racial and other forms of discrimination and hate crime, and will continue to do so after the United Kingdom leaves the European Union.
