Investigation into Alleged Racist Comments Made at Leeds Meeting in 2019

*Friday, 22 March, 2024*

We are investigating racist comments which were allegedly made at a meeting in Leeds in 2019.

On Monday 11 March 2024, The Metropolitan Police Service’s Parliamentary and Investigation Team was contacted in relation to a report about an MP that appeared in the Guardian, which outlined the alleged remarks. This is the first time the comments had been brought to the attention of police.  

The investigation was subsequently passed to West Yorkshire due to the meeting having taken place in Horsforth.
