The Parliamentary Security Department is responsible for security within Parliament, and works with police forces, who are responsible for security outside of the parliamentary estate. MPs are provided with security based on their risk.

A spokesperson for the House of Commons said assessments of individual MPs’ security arrangements was “subject to a rigorous risk-based assessment, conducted by security professionals and with input from a range of professional authorities.”

“Whilst these are naturally kept under continuous review, we do not comment on specific details so as not to compromise the safety of MPs, parliamentary staff or members of the public,” they added.

Health Minister Stephen Kinnock rejected Yusuf’s claims about incitement, adding he was “lecturing us on something where they are just not qualified to lecture anybody”.

“We live in a world where there is very robust political debate, that has been going on for a long time,” he added.
