We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Grayson (GB) Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;

We also pledge the following:

-Working with the CTP in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for service leavers

Contact with pier by paddle steamer Waverley
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-26)

Location: Brodick pier, Isle of Arran, Scotland.

Accident Investigation Report 3/2025

Read our marine accident investigation report, which includes what happened and subsequent actions taken:

MAIB investigation report 3-2025: Waverley (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/67bddf4b5d6b30e896ac6d2a/2025-3-Waverley-ReportAndAnnexes.pdf)

Summary

On 3 September 2020, the paddle steamer Waverley made heavy contact with the eastern pier at Brodick, Isle of Arran, Scotland while attempting to berth following a 2-hour afternoon excursion along the Isle of Arran coast. Twenty-one of the 186 passengers and three of the 27 crew on board sustained injuries because of the impact and Waverley suffered damage to its bow above the waterline.

The investigation identified that Waverley made heavy contact with Brodick Pier because the engine was slow to provide astern propulsion due to the engine becoming ‘locked’ at top dead centre, and the engineers controlling the engine could not rectify the matter quickly enough to prevent the collision.

Safety issues

The specific skills and techniques needed to recognise and avoid the potential for a top dead centre event were neither formally documented within Waverley’s safety management system nor included in the training of the engineers.

The rectification of worn or incorrectly adjusted components was dependent on engineering knowledge and experience. The loss of Waverley Excursion Limited’s engineering expertise in the years preceding the accident led to maintenance being undertaken with insufficient knowledge.

Waverley’s operational risk assessments did not effectively cover the hazards posed by manual control of the engine and the engine stopping dead centre during berthing manoeuvres.

Recommendations

In light of the actions taken no recommendations have been made.
UK Minister for Faith underlines importance of religious harmony
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-17)

Lord Khan underscored the UK’s commitment to minority groups on a 3-day visit to Islamabad, including on visits to Faisal Mosque and St Joseph’s Cathedral.

He highlighted the UK’s work to establish over 1,000 community-led village forums, where communities come together to provide support to the most marginalised. These forums provide early interventions to resolve tensions before they escalate.

During his visit, Lord Khan met with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, Minister for Law and Human Rights Azam Tarar, Minister for Religious Affairs Sardar Muhammad Yousaf and Government of Punjab Minister for Minorities Affairs, Ramesh Singh Arora.

UK Minister for Faith, Communities and Resettlement, Lord Khan, said:

“This visit has been a wonderful reminder of the diversity across Pakistan, and the white in the flag representing religious minorities. Our close partnership is helping to keep both of our countries safe, tackling shared threats including climate change, serious crime and irregular migration.”

The Minister also spoke at the first Overseas Pakistanis Convention, an initiative by the Government of Pakistan to connect with overseas Pakistanis from nearly 60 countries. He reflected on his own personal deep connection with Pakistan, with heritage from Gujrat, and spoke about the importance of the 1.6 million Pakistani diaspora in the UK. He also noted the rich trading partnership, with over 200 British businesses operating in Pakistan.

The UK remains committed to restoring freedom of navigation and maritime security in the Red Sea: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-14)

Statement by Ambassador James Kariuki, UK Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on Yemen.

First, the UK remains committed to restoring freedom of navigation and maritime security in the Red Sea.

We welcome recent efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region and we hope these efforts can help provide the pathway to sustainable peace in Yemen in line with the Special Envoy’s efforts.

As we have seen with continued threats against neighbouring countries and worrying posturing on the frontlines in Yemen, the risk of escalation remains.

Through a coordinated international approach, the UK will continue to work towards effectively containing Houthi capabilities.

Maritime security is essential in upholding stability in the region.

The UK continues to support the Yemen Coast Guard in protecting their maritime borders, and we look forward to launching the Yemen Maritime Security Partnership alongside the Government of Yemen and international partners in June.

Second, as highlighted by Ms El Mamoun, women face a disproportionate impact from the conflict in Yemen.

In 2023, Yemen ranked second-to-last in the Georgetown Institute’s Women, Peace and Security Index, and we have not seen progress since then.

According to the Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan, most of the 4.8 million internally displaced people are women, and 6.2 million women and girls are at risk of gender-based violence.

Last year, UK funding supported nearly 1.5 million women and children with essential lifesaving services and enabled 15,000 to receive protection and gender-based violence response services.

The UK continues to champion the important role that women can play in both ending the conflict in Yemen and upholding sustainable peace.

In November 2024, the UK hosted a group of Yemeni women leaders and experts on the women, peace and security agenda to provide a vital platform for these important voices.

The UK also remains committed to supporting the UN Special Envoy’s work to meaningfully engage women activists and women-led organisations to deliver inclusive and sustainable peace in Yemen.

Third, President, as USG Fletcher has said, the humanitarian situation is severe.

The UK continues to condemn the ongoing detentions of aid workers by the Houthis, and we reiterate our clear call for the immediate and unconditional release of all those detained.

The Houthis’ unjustified detention of aid workers continues to shrink the humanitarian operating environment in a context where nearly 20 million people are in dire need of humanitarian assistance.

And finally, we are grateful for the efforts of Dr Ahmad bin Mubarak, the former Prime Minister of Yemen, and we welcome the new Prime Minister, Salem Bin Breik.

We look forward to working together with the new Prime Minister and continuing our support to the Government of Yemen’s ambitious reform programme.

Understanding the cyber crime and fraud victim journey
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-14)

This report presents the findings of a qualitative study of victims' experiences of fraud and cyber crime which occurred between December 2020 and January 2023.

Ipsos UK were commissioned to undertake qualitative research to further understand victim experiences of cyber crime and both online and offline fraud, and the decisions taken to report these crimes.

Findings indicated that a lack of clarity on the distinction between cyber and fraud offences made it unclear which agency victims should report the crimes to. Those who perceived themselves as a victim of crime were more likely to report the crime they had experienced.

The impact of cyber crime and fraud on victims varied. Many victims reported lower-level anxiety and distress. However, a few victims reported much more serious effects that included post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicidal thoughts. Particularly for cyber and online fraud victims, experience of crime changed their behaviour online, leading them to adopt new protective behaviours or avoid activity such as online banking in the short term.

For this sample of victims, the main driver to report a cyber crime or fraud was compensation for the financial loss experienced, other factors also included a sense of civic duty, a desire to protect others and seeking justice. Low awareness of Action Fraud and its role in addressing such crimes was seen as a barrier to reporting to this organisation.

Most victims were not aware of support available to them and had not been offered support when they reported the cyber crime or fraud. Those who had received comprehensive support were highly appreciative of it, regardless of what the outcome of their case was.

This research was commissioned by the last Conservative government, and prior to 5 July 2024.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Universal Credit statistics, 29 April 2013 to 12 December 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-21)

Statistics for the number of people on Universal Credit by geography, age, conditionality regime, duration, employment and ethnicity.

These official statistics contain data on:
- the number of people who made a claim or started on Universal Credit to October 2024
- the number of people who are on Universal Credit to December 2024
- the number of households who are on Universal Credit to August 2024
Further information

See the background information and methodology note (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/universal-credit-statistics-background-information-and-methodology) for guidance on these statistics, such as timeliness, uses, and procedures.

Universal Credit claims and starts breakdowns by postcode are no longer available from April 2022 onwards, due to missing geography data. The missing information has been captured and action is being taken to reinstate these breakdowns in future releases. Updates will be provided via Stat-Xplore and the gov.uk website.

Interactive tools

Software used for the interactive maps is no longer supported. These showed households on Universal Credit at the local authority level and people on Universal Credit at Jobcentre Plus level.

The interactive maps have therefore been withdrawn and a replacement is currently under development. Once completed and launched, the interactive tool (called Examine-a-Stat) will have improved functionality, including interactive maps, to better meet a wider range of user needs. It will be available in due course and the statistics are currently accessible on Stat-Xplore (https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/jsf/login.xhtml).

Pre-release access

In addition to staff who are responsible for the production and quality assurance of the statistics, up to 24-hour pre-release access is provided to ministers and other officials. We publish the job titles and organisations of the people who have been granted up to 24-hour pre-release access to the latest Universal Credit statistics (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/pre-release-access-to-statistics-order-2008/pre-release-access-to-dwp-statistics#universal-credit).
IEIM8000660 - Assessment of penalties

When making a penalty assessment under Regulations 11-18 of the Reporting Cryptoasset Service Providers (Due Diligence and Reporting Requirements) Regulations 2025 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2025/744/made#:~:text=Regulation%2010%20requires%20a%20UK,the%20obligations%20set%20out%20above.) (the Regulations), the officer of HMRC will issue a notice of assessment detailing the amount of the penalty. In addition, the notice of assessment will state the date on which the penalty is issued and detail the time limits for appealing the penalty.

In respect of penalties under Regulations 11, 12, 14, 15 and 16, the officer of HMRC will also state the calendar year in respect of which the penalty is assessed.

A penalty is due to be paid within 30 days of the date on which the notice of assessment was issued.

If an officer discovers that the amount of the penalty assessed under Regulations 14(b), 16(b), 17(b) or 18(b) (i.e. a failure has continued after a notice of assessment was issued) is insufficient or has become insufficient, then the officer may make a further assessment in the correct amount.
