The attacker who killed four people near parliament before being shot dead by one of Sir Michael Fallon's bodyguards was British-born and was once investigated by MI5 intelligence agents over concerns about violent extremism, Mrs May said.

What the prime minister was equally clear on was that Westminster is getting back to business today, the country will do so and there is no intention to delay
Asked by a reporter if the triggering of Article 50 of the EU's Lisbon Treaty might potentially be delayed by the attack, Mrs May's spokesman said: "What the prime minister was equally clear on was that Westminster is getting back to business today, the country will do so and there is no intention to delay."
