(Sky News) Theresa May: "First of all obviously I'm aware that an individual has been arrested in Whitehall today, and that individual has been arrested on the basis of a terror-related charge. Obviously I can't say much more about it because it is an ongoing police investigation. "But I think it shows that our police and our intelligence and security services are on the alert, as they always are, looking to keep us safe and secure. "I would say that we owe a huge debt of gratitude to these people, many of whom are unseen, unheard, yet the job they do day in day out to keep us secure is a really important one and we should thank them for it. |
