Tory MP Mark Pritchard has demanded a full investigation into how the Metropolitan Police security team allowed a man to get so close to the Prime Minister in Leeds today.

He called for the Met's commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe to launch an immediate internal inquiry.

He said:

The Met Police have some of the best close protection officers in the world.

However, this was a clear breach of security and could have been far more sinister in outcome.

With the terror threat level increased, this cannot be allowed to happen again.

The Met Commissioner should call an immediate and swift internal inquiry to discover why this happened and implement the necessary lessons learned as quickly as possible.
