Conclusion
The Government’s proposals, as they stand, are likely to be in contravention of the requirement under Article 14 ECHR that human rights and freedoms be secured without discrimination. Clauses 61 to 63 of the Bill have the potential to discriminate against Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people, putting at risk their right to practise their culture without being unfairly criminalised and are likely to be subject to legal challenge, if unaltered.
