“Events in Westminster are still unfolding but are being treated as a serious terrorist incident. I adjourned plenary for today and today’s remaining business will be re-arranged for a future date. We expect tomorrow’s Assembly business to proceed as planned. Our security service and the police are working closely together. The police have increased the presence of armed officers around the Assembly estate and surrounding area as a precaution.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by today’s terrible events.”
