VOTE.CO.UK | Is the UK doing enough to strengthen security and defence in the wake of the 11 September attacks?

							The government has overhauled security measures. The UK is now in a better state to cope with the threat of any attack

							A cross-party committee of MPs is calling for more urgent action. There has been a lack of grip and direction on the part of central government

We'll send your vote to the three major parties and to the Home Office.

Mr Blair said: "We are in a dilemma between protecting ourselves from every potential threat - and possibly spending millions and billions of pounds ... to do so - and then taking no proper preparations at all. We believe we have got the balance right."

A report by a cross-party committee of MPs found there had been no comprehensive review of home defence and security after the attacks in the US. Ambulance and fire crews lack both the equipment and the training to cope with a major attack.
