John Swinney will face First Minister’s Questions as the SNP have been urged to “put things right” for Gypsy Travellers.
The Scottish Human Rights Commission (SHRC) is calling for the Scottish Government to make financial compensation payments to Gypsy Travellers for the harm caused by the so-called “Tinker Experiment”.
It also recommended a “culturally appropriate review” be carried out to ensure the adequacy of accommodation provided at Gypsy Traveller sites.
The report found that both the Scottish Government and local authorities have “failed, and continue to fail, touphold an adequate standard of living” in relation to adequate housing for Scotland’s Gypsy Travellers.
