The Labour Party’s inquiry into antisemitism will aim to set out principles on how to recognise and deal with Jew-hatred among its members, according to a document believed to set out the official terms of reference.

The document, which was seen by the JC ahead of the inquiry’s official launch on Monday, outlines six key objectives.

The inquiry will: “Consult widely with the Jewish community, other minority representatives and Labour Party members to investigate allegations of antisemitism and racism within the Party."

It will seek to “establish guidance about the boundaries of acceptable behaviour and language” and “develop clear and transparent compliance procedures for dealing with allegations of antisemitism and racism”.
