Brits told to nix all non-essential travel to Brussels

Britain has updated its travel advice to warn against all but essential travel to Brussels.

“The Belgian authorities are currently advising against travel to Brussels; you are advised to follow the instructions of the Belgian security authorities,” read a statement from the government.

The foreign ministry’s previous travel advice had been for British citizens to “remain alert and vigilant” and “stay away from crowded places.”

Prime Minister David Cameron’s spokeswoman says that specialist police officers are also being sent to Brussels to help with the investigation.

“They will be gathering together as much material as possible that can help them with the investigation,” she says.
