Date: 14/12/2017

Angela Constance: A Fairer Scotland - Delivering Race Equality—That the
Parliament believes that no one should be marginalised or discriminated against because of their
race or background and that Scotland should be a place where everyone is equal; notes the
publication of the report by the Independent Race Equality Adviser, Kaliani Lyle, Addressing Race
Inequality in Scotland: The Way Forward, highlighting key priority areas for improvement, and
acknowledges the actions being put in place through the Scottish Government's Race Equality
Action Plan to tackle racial discrimination and inequality in society; welcomes the creation of a
Scottish Government ministerial working group to determine priorities for action and drive forward
the changes required to improve the lives of Scotland's Gypsy/Traveller communities; recognises
that, to achieve race equality, all of society must play a role in removing barriers that stand in the
way of people from an ethnic minority group reaching their full potential, and agrees that everyone
must work together to create a fair and equal Scotland for all who live and work here.
