Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 April 2026

Debate

Antisemitic Attacks

Contribution

I join the Minister in condemning the attacks in Finchley, Hendon and Harrow. There have been four attacks on Jewish sites in London in a week. It is heartbreaking that the Jewish community once again faces horrific antisemitic abuse, just under a month after the events at the Hatzola ambulance station. Tragically for our Jewish friends and neighbours, these attacks are no longer a surprise. Hate crime in London is rising, and it demands a response. The Metropolitan police must be given the resources that they need to monitor vulnerable neighbourhoods and protect communities. I welcome the measures that the Minister outlined in his statement, but what assurance can he give Londoners that police officer numbers will be increased—and will not continue to decrease—so that we can stamp out hate crime in our capital?
