The meeting took place at No 10, and involved Scottish Secretary Des Browne and local constituency MPs Douglas Alexander, Jim Sheridan, and John Robertson.

Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly and junior Scotland Office minister David Cairns were also there.

The Scotland Office said later: "The Prime Minister outlined the progress of the inquiry into the attack in Glasgow and the failed car bombings in London.

"He reassured ministers and MPs that everything was being done to identify and catch those involved in the terror attacks and to protect the public from any further terrorist activity."

Des Browne said "everything possible" was being done to bring those responsible to justice and prevent future attacks.

"What is vital is that we all stand firm in the face of the terrorist threat and protect our way of life which they seek to destroy," he said.

"Britain's counter-terrorism services are among the best in the world and already a great deal has been achieved to identify and catch those responsible.

"It would be wrong, however, to give the terrorists behind these plots any fragment of information which might help them evade British justice."
