A brass plaque memorial for PC Keith Palmer has been slammed by MPs.

Palmer, 48, was stabbed to death defending Westminster from a terrorist last year.

But the only tribute to his courage is a brass plate on a door to the police mess, in a scruffy corner of the Parliamentary estate.

MPs fury at 'disgraceful' brass plaque on a canteen door in honour of Westminster terror attack hero PC Keith Palmer

Conservative MP Andrea Jenkyns told The Sun: 'It would be an insult to his bravery if this is the only recognition.'

Colleague Nadine Dorries added: 'Surely we can find the money to provide a de­cent memorial for a real hero.'

Jack Dromey called for the gates to ­Parliament to be named the Palmer Gates.

Labour MP, Valerie Vaz, of the House of Commons Commission, is in talks with Keith's family over a proper, permanent tribute.

A Parliamentary spokesman said the plaque had been put up with the support of PC Palmer's widow, who attended the mess for its renaming.

He added: 'Parliament has given careful consideration to the suitable way to honour PC Keith Palmer, involving discussion with Keith Palmer's family, the Metropolitan Police Service and the Police Memorial Trust.

'Parliament has given careful consideration to the suitable way to honour PC Keith Palmer, involving discussion with Keith Palmer's family, the Metropolitan Police Service and the Police Memorial Trust.

'A memorial is planned which has their support and will be placed on the pavement outside Carriage Gates later this year.'
