The terrorism threat level has been reduced from “severe” to “substantial”, Home Secretary Priti Patel told MPs.
“The decision to lower the threat level from severe to substantial is due to the significant reduction in the momentum of attacks in Europe since those seen between September and November 2020,” she said.
“However, the UK national threat level is kept under constant review and is subject to change at any time.”
The decision was made by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre on Thursday, Ms Patel said.
The “substantial” level means a terrorist attack is still likely.
