Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 November 2025

Debate

West Midlands Police: Maccabi Tel Aviv Fans

Contribution

My Lords, I am very pleased to hear that the Policing Minister has written to the chief constable for an explanation. Like all noble Lords, I am sure, I look forward to hearing what he has to say. Andrew Gilbert, vice-president of the Board of Deputies, said: “This decision has sowed distrust, particularly for Birmingham’s Jewish community, and undermined community cohesion”. Does the Minister agree that for the concept of policing by consent to work, people must have the confidence to know that police use accurate information and are held to account when they do not?
