The Prime Minister said the probe took place several years ago and that the unnamed suspect was not “part of the current intelligence picture”. Conservative MP Tobias Ellwood helps emergency services attend to a police officer outside the Palace of Westminster, London, after a policeman was stabbed Mrs May said the atrocity, which left three victims dead, was an “attack on free people everywhere”. “Yesterday an act of terrorism tried to silence our democracy, but today we meet as normal, as generations have done before us and as future generations will continue to do, to deliver a simple message: 'We are not afraid and our resolve will never waver in the face of terrorism',” the Prime Minister said. Mrs May paid tribute to his “heroic efforts” and those by PC Palmer and all emergency services and parliamentary staff, with security at the Palace of Westminster under automatic review.
