Counter-terrorism officers are working to uncover the origin of the nerve agent used in the attempted murder of ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, in Salisbury.
The pair were found unconscious and are critically ill in hospital, along with a policeman who went to their aid.
A source told BBC News the chemical used on Sunday was likely to be rarer than Sarin or VX nerve agents.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd is expected to make a statement in the Commons.
Police said government scientists had identified the nerve agent used, but would not make that information public at this stage.
