Plans to protect public places, railway stations and other key buildings from terrorist attacks are due to be launched by the prime minister.
The security minister, Lord West, was asked to draw up the proposals after the summer's attempted bombings in London and at Glasgow Airport.
Lord West had been asked to look at ways of strengthening security on the transport network, in public areas such as sports stadiums and shopping centres and at utility sites.
He has called for architects to include anti-terror features in new buildings and projects, it is believed.
BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said that that the minister has recommended that access roads leading to stations and crowded areas should be constructed so that drivers cannot build up speed.
Lord West is also understood to have said that windows need to be more carefully positioned - to minimise the risk of injury from glass shattered by an explosion.
SourceFark me, Lord West must have had a hell of a time coming up with such innovative and comprehensive solutions so quickly!
Or do you think perhaps he just dusted off the ‘Precautions against IRA attacks’ manual and presented that?
After all, they’ve had those anti-bomb curtains up in government offices for as long as I can remember (I think I originally saw them on Tomorrow’s World’) and concrete barriers around parliament too.
What is it with this bunch of worthless, tired politicians and media that allows them to get away with this shite?
