00:00Now, Madam Deputy Speaker, the House will be aware that police are treating this arson attack as an anti-Semitic

00:07hate crime.

00:08The investigation is now being led by counter-terrorism policing,

00:12although I should emphasise that this has not been declared a terrorist incident at this stage.

00:17No arrests have been made.

00:19But I take this opportunity to urge anyone with information to contact the police.

00:25Now, officers are aware of an online claim from a group taking responsibility for this attack.

00:32And establishing the accuracy of this claim is a priority for the investigation team.

00:38As the Home Secretary has told the House earlier, support for the Jewish community in London is being stepped up.

00:45The police have the unshakable backing of this government,

00:49and I am sure the whole House, in their effort to find the perpetrators of this awful crime,

00:56who should be in no doubt whatsoever that they will be pursued and made to face the consequences.
