LONDON: Prime Minis­ter Theresa May, answering questions about Britain’s response to Russia’s suspected involvement in a poisoning in England, said her government was conducting a review of visas issued to wealthy foreign investors.

May told lawmakers on Tuesday that Britain’s interior minister was reviewing investor visas, although the checks on possible loopholes were not specifically focused on Russia.

“I think it is right that we look generally to see whether this is a part of our visa regime which is being used properly,” she said.
