    Bradford MP Naz Shah Steps Down From Home Affairs Committee's Probe Into Anti-Semitism

    Wednesday, 4 May 2016 15:20

    Local Bradford MP Naz Shah has informed the Home Affairs Committee that she will attend no further Committee meetings until matters involving her, relating to allegations of anti-Semitism, have been resolved.

    The Labour MP was last week suspended by the party as it launched an investigation into social media posts which have been branded by some as anti-semitic and said to have caused offence.

    Rt Hon Keith Vaz MP, Chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee, has issued the following statement on Naz Shah MP's role on the Home Affairs Select Committee:

    "Naz Shah attended the private session of the Committee and she has informed me and the Committee that she wishes to stand aside from all her duties until current matters are resolved.

    We have accepted her decision. She will not take part in any future matters concerning the Home Affairs Select Committee with immediate effect, until further notice.

    The Committee will now proceed with its inquiry into anti-Semitism, and we will begin calling witnesses including the Community Security Trust, the Jewish Board of Deputies, Ken Livingstone, and the Prime Minister, Jeremy Corbyn and Angus Robertson."
