Home Secretary's Comments on the Traveller Community
The motion
That the Parliament condemns recent comments by the Home Secretary, Priti Patel, regarding the Traveller community; rejects any suggestion that the Traveller community is inherently criminal or violent; considers that Travellers remain routinely and unfairly stigmatised in the UK; believes that prejudiced comments from senior public figures contribute to ongoing discrimination; supports calls for the Home Secretary to apologise and retract her comments, and extends its solidarity to the Traveller community.
