As a result of a review carried out in the wake of the 69-year-old's fatal stabbing, safety guidance issued to politicians at Westminster will be more bespoke, based on individual circumstances, rather than a standardised set of measures.

A parliamentary spokeswoman said:"The speaker of the House of Commons Sir Lindsay Hoyle and the Home Secretary Priti Patel committed to reviewing security arrangements for MPs after the tragic murder of Sir David Amess.

"It is a fundamental principle of democracy that members and their staff are able to perform their parliamentary duties safely - both on and off the estate."She added:"We do not routinely comment on security matters, however we can advise that we have updated MPs about changes we will bring in that will see us take a more flexible approach to keeping MPs safe, that build on the current robust security measures in place.

"As ever, we will keep these and any future measures under continuous review to prevent those who wish to do us harm from succeeding."
