Antisemitism: Surrey

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of recent trends in levels of antisemitism in Surrey.

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, wherever it manifests.

We work closely with partners to ensure the safety and security of Jewish communities throughout the UK.

This includes working together with the Jewish community to monitor levels of religiously motivated hatred.

On 17 December 2026, the government published a paper setting out recent actions to combat antisemitism. Further information is available here. This is just the start. We are continuing to work, at pace, across government to combat antisemitism in all corners of our society.
