Brown urges vigilance



In a televised statement in 10 Downing Street following a meeting of the British Government’s Cobra emergency contingencies committee today, Prime Minister Gordon Brown urged the British people to be “vigilant” and to support the police and security services in their counter-terror measures.

Mr Brown, who chaired two Cobra meetings today, said it was right to raise the alert to its highest level of “critical”.

“Let me first of all thank the police, the security services and all the emergency services for the dedicated professionalism that has been shown in responding to the incidents yesterday in London and now today the attack on Glasgow Airport.

“The first duty of the Government is the security and safety of all the British people, so it is right to raise the level of security at airports and in crowded places in the light of the heightened threat.

“I want all British people to be vigilant and I want them to support the police and all the authorities in the difficult decisions that they have to make.

“I know that the British people will stand together, united, resolute and strong.”

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown reassures the public on threat level being raised.
