Police to reiterate security advice to MPs

A National Police Chiefs’ Council spokeswoman said:

“The advice - provided through a number of channels including through local police forces - offers information to enable MPs to take the appropriate measures to deal with a range of security issues they may face, and reiterates the need for them to assess their own personal security.

“The advice - which has not changed but is kept under continual review - is supported by a range of security measures developed by the police to support MPs, working closely with the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority and other partners.

“Police forces are contacting their local MPs to reiterate our advice and consider any new security concerns they may have. Officers will offer further guidance and advice where an MP requests it on a case by case basis depending on any specific threat or risk.”
