Man arrested after breaching Parliament's security
The TelegraphOne of the Palace of Westminster's main entrances was sealed off after a man broke into the parliamentary estate. Police were deployed to New Palace Yard, inside parliament's secure compound, at around 3pm on Wednesday and locked down the Carriage Gates entrance, which is used to gain access to the estate by car. A parliamentary security officer at the scene speculated that the man had climbed over a fence, but denied initial reports that he had entered the parliamentary estate on a bicycle. A Met Police spokesman said: "At around 15:00hrs on Wednesday, 1 December, a man was detained and arrested at Carriage Gates inside the Palace of Westminster on suspicion of trespassing on a protected site. A House of Commons spokesperson said: "We are aware of an incident on the Parliamentary estate which is being attended by police and security staff."
