The recent attacks in North West London are appalling and have caused understandable concern locally. My Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner constituency is home to well-established Jewish communities with deep roots, as well as Iranian refugees who fled their country after the revolution in the late twentieth century.
I heard first-hand from David Summers, who coordinates security at a local synagogue, about the concerns of my Jewish constituents and what they need to feel safe. I raised these concerns today in the House of Commons.
In a statement to the House of Commons, the security minister updated MPs on the case and the steps being taken to protect the Jewish community in London and across the country. I asked the Minister what consideration he is giving to deploying police from across the country to support the Metropolitan Police’s mission to protect synagogues and schools at risk.
