Terrorist attacks leave a profound and enduring impact on individuals, families and communities. Beyond the immediate tragedy, the effects are often long‑lasting and complex - shaping lives in ways that are not always visible, and requiring careful, sustained support over time. It is essential that our response matches the scale and nature of that harm. Today, the Government is taking an...

She is right to raise the importance of social cohesion....
I am grateful to the hon. Member for his questions. I agree with the concerns that he rightly expressed about antisemitic activity in our country. He will have heard the points that I made about protective security, but protective security is only part of our response. It is very important that we tackle the underlying causes. That is why—I hope that he will acknowledge this—there is a...
