British MPs told to create 'safe rooms' before Widdecombe murder
MPs were told to create safe houses within their homes just three months before Ann Widdecombe’s death, it has emerged.
The National Protective Security Authority, which is an offshoot of MI5, suggested that high-risk individuals, including MPs, local councillors and foreign dissidents, should create a “safer area” where they can take shelter if they be targeted by “hostile actors”.
The new guidance was published online three months before the former Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe was killed in what has been labelled as a “targeted attack”.
The NPSA guidance said that the “safe room” could be a dedicated space or a somewhat normal-looking room.
