Race and Faith Minister Phil Woolas today pledged to step up action to eradicate antisemitism in a report strongly condemning the increase in incidents in the UK.

Today's response forms part of a comprehensive cross-government strategy to tackle faith and race hate crime.

The response to the all-party enquiry into antisemitism outlines new work to:

Improve recording and reporting of antisemitic incidents; Review and strengthen the prosecution process; Accelerate work to confront extremist groups who spread hate; Promote community cohesion through education about different faiths; Prevent any manifestation of racial or religious intolerance on university campuses.
