No-one was hurt in the incident yesterday afternoon. But Ms MacDonald said: “This is potentially a very dangerous area because people are going backwards and forwards all the time. It is really worrying.

“Every single window needs to be checked, particularly those on the upper floors.”

The parliament said an investigation would take place.
