Russian spies have been blamed for the poisoning of Skripal and his daughter.
The final site of decontamination in Salisbury, the Skripal home, is safe following extensive cleaning.
The Kremlin has rejected past charges about its involvement in the case.
Police said the couple, a man in his 40s and a woman in her 30s, were assessed in hospital where they remained under observation.
The suspects are believed to be Russian.
The world’s chemical arms watchdog confirmed the UK’s findings that the nerve agent came from Russia.
Skripal was discharged from hospital on Monday, more than a month after the 4 March nerve agent attack.
Viktoria Skripal was denied “on the grounds that her application did not comply with the immigration rules”.
Yesterday, his daughter Yulia said her “strength is growing daily”.
Sergei and Yulia Skripal were found unconscious in the English town of Salisbury on 4 March.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the British had “lost their sense of reality”.
Britain said it conducts routine checks on aircraft to protect the UK from organised crime.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said it comes after “absolutely unacceptable actions”, and that further action would follow.
While she is no longer critical, the condition of her father Sergei remains serious after the attack.
