PM plays down security scare after runner collision

David Cameron has insisted he has confidence in his police bodyguards after a runner collided into him and his security detail earlier today.

"Could I put on the record for once the debt I owe to the close protection teams that look after me and the very good job that they do," the Prime Minister told MPs during a scheduled statement.

Making light of the incident, Cameron added: "John Prescott was in the room as I gave the speech so as I left the room, I thought the moment of maximum danger had probably passed.

"But clearly that wasn't the case."
