The UK Foreign Office has dismissed reports about plans to adopt the so-called Magnitsky list.

"We have received reassurances from senior officials in the UK Foreign Office that no political decision has been made on the so-called Magnitsky list, and no visa restrictions have been introduced against Russian citizens in this respect," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Vladimir Titov told Interfax.

This means that "senior officials in the Foreign Office do not confirm the information in the Sunday Times about visa bans imposed under the so-called Magnitsky list," the diplomat said.
