SCOTLAND Yard has said it will not discuss “any protective or security arrangements” for former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter following their discharge from hospital.
Mr Skripal, 66, and his daughter, Yulia Skripal, 33, were admitted to Salisbury District Hospital after coming into contact with the military-grade nerve agent novichok.
The pair were left fighting for their lives after being found unconscious on a park bench in Salisbury, Wiltshire, on March 4.
On Friday morning, the hospital confirmed that Mr Skripal had left the hospital, following his daughter’s discharge on April 10.
Scotland Yard said: “In the interests of Sergei and Yulia’s safety, we will not be discussing any protective or security arrangements that are in place.”
