Whitehall's Cabinet Office Briefing Room 'A' (5)

I believe the answer is:

cobra

(Other definitions for cobra that I've seen before include "government emergency committee?" , "Something with a hood" , "Hooded ophidian" , "dangerous striker" , "One with hood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
