Labour’s Shadow Communities Secretary calls on all Labour Councils and universities to adopt International Definition of Antisemitism
Labour’s Shadow Communities Secretary has called on all local authorities controlled by his Party, as well as all universities, to adopt the International Definition of Antisemitism.
Steve Reed made the announcement in a debate in the House of Commons, saying: “With the support of Keir Starmer, I have asked every Labour council to adopt the [International] Definition of Antisemitism with all the examples. We’ve backed the Secretary of State’s request for Universities to do the same.”
The announcement comes after repeated calls by the Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick and the Education Secretary Gavin Williamson for local authorities and universities to adopt the Definition.
Campaign Against Antisemitism monitors adoption of the International Definition of Antisemitism by local authorities and universities.
