    Residents living close to the property at the centre of the Parsons Green investigation say the search currently underway appears to be very extensive. A police forensics tent is now in place in the back garden of the property belonging to Ronald and Penelope Jones and large numbers of officers have been working inside. Police dogs at the scene appear to be one of the breeds trained to search for explosives and chemicals. Some residents have been told by officers that the outer cordon which is limiting access to a number of neighbouring roads will be lifted by early afternoon but that the inner cordon surrounding the Cavendish Road property will remain for some time. There has been no formal confirmation from the Metropolitan Police."

    The Andrew Marr Show

    Ms Rudd says she accepts there are 23,000 fewer police officers compared to 2010. However, she says that between 2010 and 2015 crime came down.

    It is "too simple" to say that as police numbers have fallen terrorist attacks have risen, says Ms Rudd.

    So-called Islamic State has said it was behind the Parsons Green attack.
