Two teenage boys have been bailed after police arrested them for climbing over barriers to the grounds of the Palace of Westminster.
The 15-year-olds were chased by police after they were spotted scaling a low barrier into the car park at the southern end of the Palace.
They then crossed back into the public area when they were seen by nearby officers, the Met said.
The alleged trespass, on Saturday, lasted approximately 30 seconds and the pair did not gain access to any part of the building.

Both youths were held at a central London police station and bailed on Sunday, pending further inquiries in May.
Scotland Yard said the incident is not being treated as terrorist-related.
Security has been tightened around Westminster since Khalid Masood's murderous assault, which left four dead, including police constable Keith Palmer outside the Palace of Westminster almost two weeks ago.
The other victims killed were American tourist Kurt Cochran, 54, retired window cleaner Leslie Rhodes, 75, and college administrator Aysha Frade, 43.
More than 35 others were injured, including three police officers.
