Antisemitism
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent discussions he has had with (a) police forces and (b) Jewish community leaders about trends in levels of antisemitism.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
Antisemitism has absolutely no place in our society, which is why we’re taking a strong lead in tackling it in all its forms. Police recorded 2,873 antisemitic hate crimes in 2024–25, accounting for 29% of all religious hate crimes. We work closely with partners to ensure the safety and security of Jewish communities. The Community Security Trust has been allocated £28 million in 2025/26 through the Jewish Community Protective Security Grant. This includes additional emergency funding of £10 million. On 17 December we published a summary of recent Government action on Antisemitism - Antisemitism: recent government actions and next steps - GOV.UK
