The Liberal Democrat party has demanded that Bradford East MP David Ward meet members of Liberal Democrat Friends of Israel and remove from his website allegations that "the Jews" had failed to properly learn the lessons of the Holocaust.
More than a month after his outburst about Israel, the Jews and Auschwitz, David Ward has been ordered to "work along with Liberal Democrat Friends of Israel and Simon Hughes MP to identify and agree language that will be proportionate and precise in your future interventions in this debate".
The MP, who sparked controversy with his comments on the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day and has since dug deeper with remarks suggesting "the Jewish community" might have been a more appropriate phrase, met Nick Clegg, Mr Hughes and chief whip Alistair Carmichael on Tuesday evening.
In the meeting Mr Clegg told the first-term MP, who has a majority of under 400, that his latest comments has been "unacceptable".
