Please find below an extract from the Chancellor's Autumn Statement (Wednesday 22nd November 2023) on HM Government's action to tackle antisemitism.
I want to express my horror at the murderous attack on Israeli citizens on October 7th and the subsequent loss of life on both sides.
I will remember for the rest of my life – as I know many other hon members will – being taken to Auschwitz by the Rabbi Barry Marcus and the remarkable Holocaust Educational Trust.
But I am deeply concerned about the rise of antisemitism in our country. So, I am announcing up to £7m over the next three years for organisations like the Holocaust Educational Trust to tackle antisemitism in schools and universities.
I will also repeat the £3m uplift to the Community Security Trust.
When it comes to anti-Semitism and all forms of racism, we must never allow the clock to be turned back.
