Of course I recall seeing and meeting Ms Wolf at New College in Oxford during my time there. She began her studies there in the mid-eighties and she finished at Oxford only a couple of years ago. Now, my speech to the parliament six years ago did not say she was involved in the war on Christmas. But I want to say this: her accusation of anti-Semitism is wrong and deeply offensive to me and my family. Mr Speaker, my grandmother was Jewish, and my belief in Judaeo-Christian values is deeply held. I call on Ms Wolf to apologise for these unsubstantiated and outrageous accusations.
