Police say substance delivered to office was non-harmful and buildings remained open
A suspicious package delivered to an office in the Houses of Parliament contained “non-harmful” white powder, a House of Commons spokeswoman has said.
The Met’s counter-terrorism command launched an investigation after police were told of the letter just after 11.30am on Tuesday. There was a heavy police presence and the office where the package was sent was closed but the rest of the Westminster buildings remained open and no security alerts were displayed.
