London Attacks

Proceeding contribution from Theresa Villiers (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 March 2017. It occurred during Ministerial statement on London Attacks.

I too send my sympathies to all those bereaved or injured in yesterday’s horrific attack. As we reflect on what happened, we must ask if it is time to consider whether the police who guard sensitive sites known to be of interest to terrorists, such as Parliament or airports, should routinely carry personal protection weapons, even when those officers are not part of the units formally tasked with armed response?
