MPs have been unable to access constituents’ emails amid fears of a possible cyber attack<\/span> on the Houses of Parliament.<\/p>\n

A number of email accounts were locked out of Parliament’s network on Monday (November 20), according to reports.<\/p>\n

Parliament’s spokesperson said just before 5pm: “The IT issue affecting the Parliamentary network has been identified and is being addressed urgently.<\/p>\n

“The business of both chambers is unaffected.”<\/p>\n

In a tweet, James Heale, political correspondent for the Spectator magazine, cited a peer who said the issue surfaced just as former prime minister David Cameron<\/span> took his seat in the House of Lords.<\/p>\n

Mr Heale went on to quote a House of Commons spokesman as saying: “We are aware of some ongoing issues with the parliamentary network, with some users currently unable to access accounts.<\/p>\n

“We are working to resolve the issues as quickly as possible.”<\/p>\n

He tweeted again at about 5.40pm, again citing a Commons spokesman: “The IT issue affecting the Parliamentary network has now been resolved.<\/p>\n

“Teams worked to resolve the matter as soon as it was identified.”<\/p>\n
