The UK's most senior police officer has admitted he cannot remember the anti-terrorism hotline number after being challenged on live radio over the success of an awareness campaign.

Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe was asked to repeat the freephone number by LBC host Nick Ferrari after a former serviceman called in to say he had not seen it publicised.

The commissioner was later informed the hotline number is 0800 789 321.
