MI5’s National Protective Security Authority (NPSA) issues updated protective security guidance for people assessed as being at high risk, including vulnerable MPs. Multiple outlets report that the guidance advises establishing a “safer area” or safe room in the home where individuals can shelter during a threat. The advice includes practical physical and deterrent measures designed to improve protection and delay intruders. The Mirror reports the guidance references options such as bullet-resistant or “bulletproof” walls and the use of smoke-machine style deterrents. The Independent describes the recommendation more generally as setting up a designated safer area to take shelter. The Times similarly focuses on MI5’s advice to build a safe room at home for vulnerable MPs. Across the reports, the common point is that the NPSA recommends vulnerable public figures consider creating a protected space at home as part of their personal security planning, reflecting updated guidance rather than a specific incident.
