The House of Assembly was evacuated this afternoon following a fire alarm.
The incident happened shortly after 4pm, and forced about 20 MPs, including David Burt, the Premier, to gather outside Sessions House.
At about 4.15pm, Bermuda Fire and Rescue Service arrived to conduct a search of the building. Politicians returned inside shortly afterwards.
