Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the Mayor of London and the relevant London boroughs about investing in permanent 'hostile vehicle mitigation'  measures on London’s bridges, as recommended in the conclusions of the inquest into the London Bridge terror attack.

Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office)

Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) is currently provided via the National Barrier Asset (NBA) on five bridges within central London. The NBA measures provide a high level of protection to these bridges, and discussions are ongoing between CT Policing and relevant local stakeholders regarding the installation of permanent structures. Permanent measures have been installed on Westminster Bridge since 2022.

Discussions take place periodically between CT Policing and relevant London bodies, such as Transport for London, to progress this matter.
