Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott says that it is not possible to protect people on the cheap.

Echoing earlier comments by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan about government cuts, Ms Abbott told Channel 4 News: "You cannot keep people safe on the cheap and the mayor is having to make £400m worth of cuts to the Metropolitan Police."

Challenged about a near 20,000 fall in police numbers since 2010, Conservative MP Keith Prince said those were national, not London, figures and when now Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson was the capital's mayor "he kept the number of police at 32,000".

He added: "It is only since Mr Khan has been mayor that that figure has been cut and he took £32m out of the budget to cut the police down to 31,000."

Residents in the Cavendish Road area of Sunbury-on-Thames have been told by police they must wait "at least a few hours" before they can return to their homes.

Neighbouring Burgoyne Road has been closed and a police helicopter is circling overhead, PA says.

Nearby Sunbury resident Anna Wilkins says she saw armed police with balaclavas surround a house that backs on to hers.

Around 200 residents from the Cavendish Road area in Sunbury-on-Thames have been evacuated to the Staines Rugby Football Club.

Its finance director Dan Norcott tells the BBC that the police contacted the club earlier on Saturday to see if it could take in people.

He says: "We have laid on refreshments and everyone has full use of our facilities."

Mr Norcott says the club has been asked by the police to stay open into the evening, adding that the local council is making preliminary arrangements for hotel accommodation if needed.

Commenting on how residents are holding up, he said: "The younger people are more relaxed but the older people are shaken up."

People were evacuated by the police during the Sunbury raid and have stayed outside a 100 metre cordon.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd reiterated that the arrest of a teenager in connection with Friday's Tube bombing was "very significant".

It was "too early to say", she added, if the individual was previously known to police, adding that the investigation was ongoing.

Commenting on the bomb, Ms Rudd said: "There is no doubt that this was a serious IED. It was lucky that it did little damage."

One local resident near the evacuated area in Sunbury said about 100-150 residents had congregated at nearby Staines rugby club.

Following a meeting of the government's Cobra emergency committee Home Secretary Amber Rudd says that the police are making "good progress".

She says the 18-year old arrested in connection with the Parsons Green bombing will be moved from Kent up to London later today.

Three people remain in hospital following the Tube bombing on Friday, NHS England says.

They are being treated at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.

A total of 30 people were injured following the incident.

It is "quite unusual" for a device to be found intact and it means investigators may be able to find evidence such as fibres and DNA, says David Videcette, a former counter-terrorism detective in the Metropolitan Police.

There has been some speculation that the bomb, contained in a bucket and carried in a Lidl freezer bag, was unfinished and was being transported.

Mr Videcette thinks it is incorrect to say that the bomb was unfinished, adding that it was similar in terms of the materials used to the device in the 7 July 2005 terror attack.

Armed police are carrying out an operation at an address in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey, related to the Parsons Green bombing, BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw says.
