The Liberal Democrats will protect funding for security measures in Jewish schools if the party returns to government after May’s election, Nick Clegg has announced.
The Deputy Prime Minister said his party would guarantee the continuation of the £2.3m funding the Department for Education provides.
Jewish state schools use the money to provide additional security measures.
Working with the Community Security Trust, the government’s Additional Security Fund provides guards at 48 Jewish voluntary-aided faith schools in England.
