Questions have been raised over parliamentary security after a police officer was injured in an “incredibly violent” attack just outside the Commons chamber.
CS gas was used to subdue the 40 year-old man, who is alleged to be a director at a London publishers.
Reports say that he had been attending a party hosted by Conservative MP Eric Pickles and was supposed to have been escorted around the building. However, the man was found having an arguement with two other people just outside the doors to the Commons chamber, where a debate was going on.
A policeman asked him for his ID at which point, a source on The Times website says, “completely lost it and went berserk”.
He was subsequently arrested and is now in custody at a Central London police station.
This news comes comes just days before the G20 summit, which is expected to attract thousands of protestors to the city. Questions are, therefore, being asked about how the guests managed to slip past security unnoticed
