Lord Sacks, the former chief rabbi, said he was “honoured” to be one of two members to introduce former Labour MP John Mann to the House of Lords, as he takes on a role as an independent advisor to the Government on antisemitism.
The former Labour MP was officially appointed to the upper house in a ceremony on Tuesday afternoon flanked by Lord Sacks and Lord Clarke of Hampstead.
The peer is now tasked with providing independent advice to ministers on how to tackle anti-Jewish prejudice.
