Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what engagement they have had with Jewish community organisations following the arrests of four men on suspicion of assisting Iranian intelligence by spying on individuals linked to the Jewish community in London.

The Government have engaged with multiple Jewish leaders following the arrests of four men under the National Security Act. We continue to engage closely with these leaders to ensure that our communities are supported.

The Jewish community and the wider public will understandably be concerned by the arrests on Friday 6 March. We continue to monitor the situation closely and engage with those affected.

Our police and security services are world leading and won’t hesitate to take action to counter any threat to the UK. They will continue to use the full range of tools and powers available to them to keep this country safe. They have the government’s full support as they carry out their vital work. Given the investigation is ongoing, it would not be appropriate for the Government to comment further.
