The London Fire Brigade has been called to the House of Commons following reports of a fire at the Houses of Parliament. It is understood that a number of crews have been called to the area following a report being made to the Brigade after a resident in a flat on the Albert Embankment spotted smoke.
The LFB sent six fire crews and an aerial ladder and officers to carry out an investigation to locate the origin of the smoke. The smoke was originally thought to be a fire, but wasn’t quite as serious.

Even if it had been serious, there are currently no MPs within the House of Commons, so there would have been no harm to Mps. Mps are expected to be recalled on Wednesday to vote on the UK’s Brexit deal with the EU.
Paramedics revealed they had received close to 8,000 calls in one of their busiest days, some 2.500 more calls more than the usual day.
The LFB said: Firefighters were called to reports of smoke coming from some flats on Parliament Square in #Westminster this morning. The smoke was caused by a generator starting up.
