MP’s staff left scared after panes of glass smashed in office ‘attack’

A Conservative MP has described how his staff members had been left scared after his constituency office had been “attacked”.

Speaking in the Commons on Wednesday, during the SNP’s Opposition Day debate on the EU Settlement Scheme, Craig Williams (Montgomeryshire) said panes of glass had been smashed as he thanked police for their quick action.

He said: “I would like to pay tribute to my parliamentary team, it is with great sadness I report to the House my constituency office was attacked this morning."

“I pay tribute to the police for dealing with it incredibly quickly."

“Luckily they did not gain entrance but did break 16 panes of glass and of course scared the parliamentary team who, of course, across the House our teams work day in day out without necessarily the protection this House affords us now."

“And I just wanted to put on the record my thanks to them and the police for dealing with it so quickly."
