‘Thousands of troops stationed overseas could be sent home to help police cope with a Paris copycat attack amid fears they are not prepared for a large-scale bloodbath.
Ministers are examining plans to have ‘high-readiness’ battalions stationed across the country to respond to a terror attack within minutes.
The infantry units would provide back-up support to armed police and would be especially vital if there is more than one attack at any given time.’
