We constantly review our security measures and, where appropriate, seek to make adjustments. We do not, however, consider the incident on 20 February to be a breach of Parliament’s security. At no point was access gained to the Parliament’s interior, and the incident was handled by the police unit as an antisocial behaviour matter.

We are looking at the exterior of the Canongate building, which the individual climbed up, to see whether further practical measures can be added to prevent climbing.
