Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the government of Switzerland following recent allegations of an antisemitic attack on a British Orthodox Jew in Davos; and what diplomatic steps they are taking to help protect British nationals from antisemitic violence abroad and ensure their safety in such incidents.

We have not, to date, been approached for consular assistance by the victim of the attack in Davos on the night of Friday 23 August. However, the British Embassy in Berne has been engaging with stakeholders on antisemitism, in line with the work of the UK's chair of International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. Our Embassy continues to have significant engagement planned throughout the coming months, including with the Swiss Government and Civil Society. Antisemitism has absolutely no place in any society, which is why we are taking a lead in tackling it in all its forms. Consular staff stand ready to support British nationals overseas at all times.
