Yvette Cooper MP was elected as Chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee on Wednesday 19 October 2016.[1]

The remaining members of the HASC were formally appointed on 8 July 2015, except Naz Shah and Chuka Umunna who were appointed on 26 October 2015.

The Speaker announced on 13 September 2016 that Rt Hon Keith Vaz MP had resigned from the Committee chairmanship, and he is therefore no longer a member of the Committee.[2]

Antisemitism in the UK

Rather than publishing the HASC's report entitled "Antisemitism in the UK" in the House of Commons, acting Chair Tim Loughton decided to appear on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show on Sunday 16 October 2016 and explain the report's main findings which were critical of the Labour Party.[3] An article published by the Free Speech on Israel group on 20 August 2016 described the report as "ill-conceived, politically tendentious and risible".[4]
