Baroness Chakrabarti, who led an investigation into antisemitism in the Labour Party, has said she was unaware the party had dropped an inquiry into Jew-hate allegations against students at Oxford University.
Asked today what she thought of the decision made by Labour’s National Executive Committee on Tuesday, the Shadow Attorney General asked: “What did the NEC decide?”
The peer’s own inquiry last summer had taken submissions from students who experienced antisemitism on campuses across the country.
But she said she had no knowledge of the NEC’s move to drop the case against those accused of hatred at Oxford University Labour Club (OULC), 24 hours after the news broke.
