London, Sept 3 (ZEENEWS.COM) British government buildings are to be provided with defences to stop them being rammed by cars or trucks packed with explosives.

Britain's biggest-selling daily said the buildings were to be surrounded with security devices designed to look like street furniture, at a cost of 25 million pounds, the Sun newspaper said today.

The new home office building in Central London will be used as a guide, the sun said. The interior ministry has state-of-the-art black concrete bollards one metre apart encircling it with raised grass verges in large concrete "pools" outside the main entrance.

"The architects want the measures to look good like those at the home office," an unnamed government source told the tabloid.

"They will look like normal street furniture but they will provide the biggest defence against car bombs.

"They will not be as unsightly as those that are already positioned around the houses of Parliament."

The London landmark, a tourist hotspot, is surrounded by concrete barricades.
