Incident has been 'contained' - Johnsonpublished at 18:05 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2019
Mr Johnson says there will continue to be meetings and consultations inside Number 10 as the evening goes on, but that "to the best of our knowledge the incident has been contained".
He urges people to be "vigilant" but adds: "I hope very much that people will be able as fast as possible to go about their normal business."
Asked whether general election campaigning will continue as normal, Mr Johnson says: "Well I’ve obviously stopped my campaigning for this evening but we’ll be reviewing the matter in the course of the next few hours."
