We can all agree that it is difficult for everyone, but it is harder for some than for others. In my constituency, it is a significant problem, even for families with very good references from previous landlords. I accept that some landlords have no problem taking Travellers, but my experience is that, on the law of averages, that figure is correct.
From my work, a number of Travellers will be suspicious of putting identifiers down on forms because they are used to being identified in a negative way. What work is planned to assure them that there will be no disadvantage in putting an identifier on a form?
