The Metropolitan Police are investigating a suspected arson attack at the office of a Conservative MP.
Police were called to an incident at the north London constituency office of Mike Freer at about 7pm on Christmas Eve. The London Fire Brigade also attended the scene.
Police are still investigating the incident, but believe it may have been started deliberately.
No one was in the office of the Finchley and Golders Green MP at the time and no injuries have been reported.
Mr Freer said that the rear of the building is damaged.
The MP, who serves as parliamentary under-secretary at the Ministry of Justice, praised the response from the police and fire brigade, which he described as “excellent”.
