Gypsy Travellers (Follow-up)
I absolutely concur with what Annabel Goldie said about our previous witnesses. Row 26 of the table on page 21 of the SPICe briefing says: “Need clear leadership to ensure distinct needs of Gypsy/Travellers are covered”. The fact that there is nothing in the column detailing the actions taken suggests that there is some way to go in that regard. I hope that we can get a minister in to discuss progress at some point.
