Ann Widdecombe, a former Conservative MP and prominent figure in the right-wing Reform UK party, was murdered at her home in July - the third politician to be murdered in the UK in the past decade.
The man accused of killing her has also been charged with preparing a terror attack against Reform UK leader Nigel Farage.
The Home Office said the review, led by the UK's former National Security Advisor, was a response to the "rising threats" faced by public figures.
