Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs written question – answered at on 11 July 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what reports he has received of levels of anti-Semitism in Lithuania since May 2010; what recent discussions he has had with his Lithuanian counterpart on anti-Semitism in Lithuania; and if he will make a statement.
Our embassy in Vilnius reports all incidents of anti-Semitism in Lithuania to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. There have been a number of anti-Semitic incidents since May 2010. We take a serious view of these incidents and continue to urge the Lithuanian authorities to tackle them in a determined way. My hon. Friend will know that the UK is committed to fighting discrimination and intolerance. Combating all forms of racism, including anti-Semitism, is an important part of the UK Government's human rights policy.
