Police and Health Protection Agency officials have sealed off a hotel while radiation tests were carried out in another development in the poisoning of former Russian spy Alexander Litvenenko.
Officers went to the Ashdown Park Hotel and Country Park in Wych Cross, near Forest Row, East Sussex to "assist in minimising the risk to the public", a spokesman for Sussex Police said.
The hotel is set in 186 acres of landscaped countryside in the heart of the Ashdown Forest.
The police spokesman said: "Sussex Police is working with the Metropolitan Police and the Health Protection Agency at a hotel in East Sussex in order to assist them in minimising the health risk to the public as well as to the police and other agencies, and to assist the Met Police in their crime investigation."
