Sir Keir Starmer said “we must do more to defend our democracy” following the murder of Ann Widdecombe.
The outgoing Prime Minister said it was “chilling” that three sitting or former MPs had been murdered during his 11 years in Parliament.
Sir Keir’s comments at his final Prime Minister’s Questions came as Reform UK demanded extra cash for MPs’ security following the death of Miss Widdecombe.
The former Tory minister was a senior figure in Reform at the time of her death.
The Prime Minister said: “I believe we must do more to defend our democracy.
“I have tasked officials across government to identify the best mechanisms for taking this work forward, so it can move as quickly as possible.
“And I hope the whole House can unite behind that in the months ahead.”
