Liberal Democrat chief whip Don Foster has met Jewish communal leaders to discuss the party’s controversial MP David Ward.

Representatives of the Board of Deputies, Community Security Trust and Jewish Leadership Council attended the session in Westminster on Wednesday last week.

Mr Foster is understood to have lavished praise on CST’s work to combat antisemitism.

In a joint statement, the Jewish groups said the session had discussed Mr Ward in an “open and constructive” fashion, but they refused to provide any further details of the session.
