To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the next census in England and Wales will separate Gypsies and Travellers into two categories.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the next census in England and Wales will separate Gypsies and Travellers into two categories.
The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply.
My Lords, following the very pertinent question from the noble Lord opposite, can the Minister give the House an assurance that the new category—that is to say, since 2011—of Gypsies and Travellers will not be lost in any new system, because it has already yielded invaluable factored information about the disadvantage experienced by these communities?

My Lords, I think that all Members will recall that we use a field force to go and find the people who are the most difficult to get hold
of and those in whom we are most interested. The Office for National Statistics estimates that the last census was some 94% complete. We suspect and fear that that the 6% we missed were strongly represented among the most vulnerable elements of the population.
