Caroline Lucas, the co-leader of the Green Party, has responded to Wednesday’s attack in Westminster.
She said:
“Our thoughts go out to all those affected by today’s attacks and we send deep thanks to the public servants who responded so quickly, bravely, and with care to treat the injured and minimise the number of casualties.
