Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that UK aid does not promote antisemitism.
This question was answered on 20th December 2021
The Government and UK aid is committed to combatting the rise of antisemitism in all its forms, both domestically and internationally. The UK Special Envoy for Post-Holocaust Issues, Lord Pickles, engages with the issues relating to Holocaust denial and antisemitism, and the UK was the first country to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition of antisemitism, which we encourage others to adopt.
