We are not currently developing a standalone cross-Government strategy for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities. The Levelling Up white paper sets out this Government’s plan to support everyone in this country to reach their full potential, irrespective of background, race, ethnicity or any other characteristics.

Secretary of State

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.

White Paper

A document issued by the Government laying out its policy, or proposed policy, on a topic of current concern.Although a white paper may occasion consultation as to the details of new legislation, it does signify a clear intention on the part of a government to pass new law. This is a contrast with green papers, which are issued less frequently, are more open-ended and may merely propose a strategy to be implemented in the details of other legislation.
