"The Sergeant-at-Arms position, established in 1867, has historically been filled by retired army officers with Vickers only the second non-military appointment to the position. Largely an administrative post, they are responsible for removing threats to the parliament."
Remove threats from Parliament. Check.

I didn't see it mentioned in this article but, Jesus!, a head shot under this kind of stress? Impressive.
Also, they might want to make it so this position is always ex-military and always armed. A Contact Concealment holster would seem a small additional expense and wonderful time saver.
