<p>The Race Disparity Audit website displays data where possible using the Census
2011 ethnic categories, which includes Gypsy or Irish Traveller. The Department has
provided data from the National Travel Survey on measures such as driving licence
holding, household car access and the number of journeys made each year. However,
the number of Gypsy or Irish Travellers in the survey is too small to show data for
this group separately.</p><p> </p><p>The Office for National Statistics and the Race
Disparity Unit work closely together to improve the harmonisation of ethnicity data
across the Government Statistical Service and the coverage of ethnic groups including
Gypsy, Roma and Travellers.</p><p> </p><p>The Race Disparity Audit Inter Ministerial
Group chaired by the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster discusses matters pertaining
to the progress of the Race Disparity Audit, including on the collection of ethnicity
data.</p><p> </p>
