Anti-Semitism inquiry

A wide-ranging investigation into contemporary anti-semitism in Britain is to be launched, it was revealed during this week's Labour party conference.

John Mann MP, the newly elected chairman of the Parliamentary Committee against Anti-Semitism, told delegates that the group's inquiry would see MPs and peers scrutinising the government's actions in relation to the growing scourge.

A spokesman for the committee said: "This will be a far-reaching and comprehensive review of the current nature and state of anti-semitism in the UK today. It has been commissioned by parliamentarians, will be conducted by leading parliamentarians from all the major parties and we are sure that government departments and related agencies will be keen to engage with it."

If this has been picked up anywhere else, I've not been able to find it. (Thanks: AL.)
