Downing Street officials later confirmed at least two British citizens was among those hurt
Speaking to Sky News, he said he was not aware of any suggestion the explosions could indicate any associated threat to London.
"The most important thing to get across is that we know of no reason to think that there is any read-across from what's happened in Brussels to events here in this city," he said.
"We have no intelligence to suggest there is any immediate threat but as a precaution and for the purposes of reassurance, there has been a stepping up of the presence of police at major airports."
He added: 'We must show maximum possible solidarity with the people of Brussels and the people of Belgium."
