From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism is a group in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The group exists to "To combat antisemitism and help develop and seek implementation of effective public policy to combat antisemitism".[1] After the 2024 general election, the group's chair is Joani Reid MP (Labour) and the vice-chairs are the MPs Christine Jardine (Liberal Democrat), David Pinto-Duschinsky (Labour) and Saqib Bhatti (Conservative).[2] Secretariat to the group is provided by the PCAA Foundation.

The group commissioned the All-Party Parliamentary Inquiry into Antisemitism in 2005. The inquiry panel, chaired by former Europe Minister Denis MacShane, gathered written and oral evidence on antisemitism in Britain and published a report of their findings on 7 September 2006. The panel's recommendations included improved reporting and recording of antisemitic attacks; a crackdown on anti-Jewish activity on university campuses; and improved international co-operation to prevent the spread of racist material online.[3]

In 2012, Labour MP John Mann commissioned an all-party parliamentary inquiry into electoral conduct, based on a recommendation from the antisemitism report of 2006. That inquiry panel was chaired by Natascha Engel and its report was published in October 2013.[4] The Labour government responded to the inquiry twice and the Coalition government has since responded for a third time.
