Anti-terror police investigate after packet containing 'white powder' found in Parliament
Armed police were seen outside the Palace of Westminster at around midday amid reports that a "suspicious package" was being investigated. The Met later confirmed that they were dealing with reports of an envelope containing white powder. Specialists are assessing the package and police remain at the scene. A House of Commons spokesman confirmed an investigation was ongoing but said the building was not in lockdown.
