90% of the UK security industry feel the decrease in national security spend will ultimately lead to an increased terror threat, according to a poll carried out by IFSEC, the world's largest annual security event

At a time when the Government has been forced to rescue a number of banks, including a £20 million bailout of Royal Bank of Scotland, national debt is now in excess of £700 billion.
