Terrorist Attacks (Paris)

Proceeding contribution from Robert Halfon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 January 2015. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Terrorist Attacks (Paris).

I was previously on the civil libertarian side of these arguments, but given recent events—not just in France, but elsewhere—I have come to the conclusion that the Home Secretary is absolutely right.

Returning to the subject of the Jewish community, the Home Secretary will have seen the front page of The Independent today, which shows that a huge number of Jewish people have real apprehension of living in the United Kingdom. I welcome her words in response to

other Members, but will she make a statement not just on anti-Semitism but about the positive contribution Jewish people bring to this country to ensure that they feel proud of living here?
