Council officials in Camden, north London, have held a “closed-group meeting” to discuss the impact of adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition on antisemitism in the borough.

The meeting, held on Tuesday evening, had been scheduled to take place six months after Camden first voted to adopt the IHRA definition back in April.

An authority spokesman confirmed that the working-party would be publishing the results of the review next year.

Councillor Abdul Hai, Cabinet Member for Young People and Cohesion, told the JC: “Camden Council wants all its communities to know that our borough is no place for hate and so, in April, the council adopted an adapted version of the IHRA definition for antisemitism.
