	Lord Alan West said during a House of Lords debate Tuesday that despite taking action to improve security, Britain still faced a huge threat from violent extremists. The country's threat level is listed by the domestic intelligence service MI5 as severe — the second-highest of five levels. He gave no details on the plot, and the Home Office refused to comment.
