Right, let us come to Prime Minister's questions.

Melanie Ward.

Question number one, please, Mr. Speaker.

Prime Minister.

Mr. Speaker, the anti-Semitic terror attack on Bondi Beach was sickening.

It has had a profound impact around the world, including on Jewish communities

here in the United Kingdom. These incidents are not isolated. We think of the appalling

attack at Heaton Park earlier this year. These incidents are chillingly focused on some of

the holiest days in the Jewish calendar.

Mr. Speaker, I've been in touch over the last few days with the Community Security Trust,

the Home Office and the Chief Rabbi about security for Hanukkah events here in the United Kingdom.

Last night, we held a Hanukkah reception in Downing Street,

where I reaffirmed our fight against the poison of anti-Semitism.

We will use all of our powers to make sure Jewish communities are safe and secure as they

should be.

Mr. Speaker, may I also take this opportunity to wish you, all the staff in Parliament,

every member and their families across the House, a very happy Christmas and a little

festive advice to those in reform.

If mysterious men from the East appear bearing gifts, this time report it to the police.

This morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition

to my duties in this House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

New Ward.
