Prime Minister Boris Johnson has vowed to "continue to seek justice" for the victims of the Novichok poisonings in a short Parliament speech.

Speaking on the eve of the three-year anniversary of the incident in Salisbury, Mr Johnson told the House of Commons: "It will be three years tomorrow since a chemical weapon was deployed by Russian military intelligence on the streets of Salisbury.

"All our thoughts remain with those affected, their families and loved ones and we will continue to seek justice for them.

"Mr Speaker, I'm sure the House wants to pay tribute to the people of Salisbury and Amesbury and wish them well for the future."

Former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were discovered unwell on a bench in The Maltings on March 4, 2018.

Months later, residents Dawn Sturgess and Charlie Rowley fell ill in Amesbury after coming into contact with the substance.

While Charlie later recovered, mum-of-three Dawn didn't survive.
