LONDON, Nov 24 (Reuters) - Britain has asked Moscow to hand over any information it has that could help with the UK police investigation into the death of ex-KGB spy Alexander Litvinenko, a Foreign Office spokeswoman said on Friday.

"(Foreign Office) officials discussed the death of Mr Litvinenko with the Russian Ambassador this afternoon ... The situation was now more serious with Mr Litvinenko's death," the spokeswoman told Reuters.

"The Ambassador was asked to convey to the authorities in Moscow to provide any information they might have that would assist the police with their inquiries."

A worker controls the production line of Borjomi bottled mineral water at the Georgian Glass and Mineral Water Company factory in Borjomi, some 150 km (93 miles) south-west of Tbilisi December 15, 2006. Russia's consumer protection agency banned the import of Borjomi and wine from its Western-leaning neighbour Georgia, citing health and safety reasons.
