And designers of public buildings will need to get security advice from “police architectural liaison officers” on how to make buildings bomb-proof. “We are developing guidance to explain the Government’s approach to protection,” said Lord West.

From next month owners of pubs, bars and clubs will also be able to take part in exercises with police to make their premises safe.

Using multi-media DVD simulation they will be told how to spot suspicious customers and evacuate their buildings.
