Sir David, 69, married with four daughters and one son, was the second lawmaker to be killed in recent years since the assassination of Labor MP Joe Cox in June 2016. The recent attacks have raised concerns about the safety of lawmakers, many of whom are conducting operations in constituencies that anyone can attend.

Interior Minister Priti Patel said lawmakers had access to "some" security measures - many of which were enacted after Cox's killing - but said changes could be made in constituent operations. However, Patel warned that such action had to be proportionate, telling Andrew Marr on the show, "We are here to serve, we are here to be available to the British public." During the interview, he also recalled being told that Sir David had been killed during a cabinet meeting on Friday afternoon. "Our world is falling apart," he said.
