If the hon. Gentleman gives me the details of the case afterwards, I will certainly take it up with the Health Secretary, who takes these matters really seriously—not least because of his personal experience. One thing that is very clear is that communications across the NHS are not always joined up. One of the priorities of what the Secretary of State is trying to do is making sure that these situations do not arise in future.

The Hanukkah murder of the Jews on Bondi beach has reverberated around the world. I shall go from here to sign a book of condolence at Australia House.

UK synagogues require security guards for religious services. If that were true of churches in the United Kingdom, it would be considered a national emergency. The oldest hatred has re-emerged in our times. This is not otherwise lawful protest against the actions of an elected Israeli Government. “Globalise the intifada” has only one meaning, as far as UK Jews such as myself are concerned, so will the Leader of the House provide Government time for a debate on antisemitism in the United Kingdom? Now is the time for action.
