The defense committee of the Board of Deputies of British Jews was charged today with the responsibility for dealing with anti-Jewish discrimination practiced by one of England’s most famous hotels, the Royal Bath, in the southern resort town of Bournemouth.

The bias charges against the famous hostelry have attracted considerable attention.
