The electric ambulance grant, which comes in the wake of stabbings in Golders Green on Wednesday, is part of a package of measures designed to support the local Jewish community.

Health and social care secretary Wes Streeting said: ‘We have seen deplorable acts of evil against Golders Green's Jewish Community which are part of a pattern of rising antisemitic attacks.

‘Jewish people should not have to live in fear of attack in Britain today or suffer any further than the appalling harm that has already been caused as a result. But simple words are not enough and we need to take action.

‘The provision of these ambulances will not stem the anguish Jewish people are feeling, but it is one way that this Government can stand with its Jewish communities today.

‘Hatzola and its volunteers again showed they were the very best of us in the face of such hatred in their swift response to yesterday's attacks. The new high tech fleet will allow Hatzola's paramedics to continue their lifesaving work, as they continue to care for and support the wider community.

‘Every one of us must work to root out the hatred and antisemitism that is poisoning Britain. Only then will all of our Jewish community will be safe.'
