Labour MP Chris Bryant calls for 'review' of Westminster security in wake of attack

Rhondda MP Chris Bryant says security measures at the Palace of Westminster should be reviewed following yesterday's terror attack.

Four people died and dozens were injured after an attacker, armed with two large knives, mowed down pedestrians with his car on Westminster Bridge before fatally stabbing an unarmed police officer inside the grounds of the Houses of Parliament.

Mr Bryant, who was in Parliament at the time of the attack, told ITV's Good Morning Britain that the emergency response was "very, very professional", adding that he has "huge respect" for the police force. But he said following the events of Wednesday afternoon, security at Westminster should be kept "under review".
