Decolonisation regimes for people infected with PVL-SA
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-27)

This rapid systematic review aimed to identify and summarise available evidence on the effectiveness of decolonisation regimes to prevent recurring or secondary infection with PVL-SA.

This rapid systematic review identified and assessed the available evidence to determine whether decolonisation was effective to prevent recurring and secondary infections of PVL-SA skin and soft tissue infection, and if so, the most effective decolonisation regime.

This rapid systematic review searched for research published up to 30 January 2024. No published randomised or non-randomised controlled trials were identified to determine the effectiveness of decolonisation strategies for individuals either infected with or exposed to PVL-SA skin and soft tissue infection.

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 Kellanova UK (formerly Kellogg UK) 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;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Kellanova UK (formerly Kellogg UK) recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:

Growth Gateway: ASEAN cooperation on industrial project-based initiatives scoping paper
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-10)

ASEAN’s new framework for industrial project-based cooperation aims to accelerate regional economic integration, create resilient supply chains, and unlock up to 15% GDP growth and 6 million jobs by 2030.

This scoping paper sets out a proposed framework for industrial project-based initiatives to deepen regional economic integration. It explains why ASEAN needs a renewed approach to industrial cooperation, drawing on lessons from past programmes and responding to global supply chain shifts, technological change, and sustainability imperatives.

The document outlines mechanisms for cross-country collaboration, project selection, incentives, and governance, with a strong emphasis on early private sector engagement. Targeted at policymakers, development partners, and investors, it highlights how coordinated industrial projects can drive inclusive growth, strengthen connectivity, and position ASEAN as a global industrial hub.

Responsibility for all fire functions moves to MHCLG
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-01)

Greater clarity and accountability will be brought to fire and building safety from the transfer of Ministerial responsibility from the Home Office to MHCLG

Greater clarity and accountability will be brought to fire and building safety from today (1 April) thanks to the transfer of Ministerial responsibility for all fire functions from the Home Office to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.

Bringing these responsibilities together will strengthen coordination, improve policy implementation, and reinforce the government’s commitment to making homes, buildings and communities safer.

The change delivers on a key recommendation from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry’s Phase 2 report, which advised that fire and building safety should be overseen by a single department.

The Minister for Building Safety and Local Growth who will be taking on responsibility for fire functions Alex Norris said:

“Ensuring the safety of people in their homes and communities is a top priority for this government. By bringing all fire and building safety responsibilities under one department, we are reinforcing accountability, improving coordination, and taking decisive action to protect lives.

“I would like to thank Dame Diana Johnson for her work in this important area. I look forward to working with fire and rescue services and key stakeholders to implement the Grenfell Tower Inquiry’s recommendations and drive forward the reforms needed to keep people safe.

“This is a significant step in delivering meaningful change, making our buildings safer, and strengthening our country’s resilience for the future.”

Policing Minister Dame Diana Johnson said:

“It has been an honour and privilege to serve as Minister for Fire.

“I would like to express my utmost gratitude to the brave firefighters in our fire and rescue services, who selflessly dedicate themselves to protecting the public from fire every day.

“I would also like to thank the government officials and stakeholders from across the sector I have worked with over the past nine months. Their drive to make the sector stronger has been invaluable and I am certain my good friend Alex Norris will also benefit from their advice.”

Following the publication of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry’s Phase 2 report on 4 September 2024, the Prime Minister acknowledged the failings that led to the tragedy and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to implementing the necessary reforms. This transfer of Ministerial responsibility for all fire functions to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government represents an important part of this work, and the government will continue to drive forward the necessary reforms to make sure a tragedy like Grenfell can never happen again.

Notes to editors:
- The Home Office will retain management of the Airwave Service Contract on behalf of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and will continue to oversee the Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme and His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS).

TRA to investigate HVO biodiesel imports from the USA
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-18)

The TRA has  initiated an anti-dumping investigation and a countervailing investigation into imports of HVO biodiesel from the United States of America.

The Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has today, 17 March 2025, initiated an anti-dumping investigation (https://www.trade-remedies.service.gov.uk/public/case/AD0068/submission/849c38e9-30f2-4020-9d2d-d7836da94226/) and a countervailing investigation (https://www.trade-remedies.service.gov.uk/public/case/AS0067/submission/07e3c0c3-fdfe-4f9e-b695-365aa6976d99/) into imports of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) biodiesel from the United States of America.

The investigations follow an application from UK biodiesel producers concerned that the market has changed since a previous review in 2022. Recent evidence suggests that the price gap has narrowed and HVO may now be competing directly with UK-produced biodiesel.

The investigations will determine whether imports of HVO are being sold at unfairly low prices or being subsidised, and causing harm to UK industry.

To contribute to this investigation, please visit the TRA public file (https://www.trade-remedies.service.gov.uk/public/cases/).

Notes to Editors:
- The period of investigation for these cases will be between 1 January 2024 and 31 December 2024.
- The Trade Remedies Authority is the UK body that investigates whether new trade remedy measures are needed to counter unfair import practices and unforeseen surges of imports.
- The TRA is an arm’s length body of the Department for Business and Trade.
- UK industries concerned about imports have been able to submit applications for a new trade remedy measure since January 2021. These applications are considered by the TRA to see if there are grounds for an investigation.

- costs of disposal, for example, stockbroker’s commission.
If anything was paid for the grant of the option, this also forms part of the cost. If income tax was paid when the option was exercised, the amount charged to income tax will also form part of the cost. If an employee pays part or all of his employer’s National Insurance contributions when he exercises his option and he gets income tax relief for this payment, the income tax relief will not reduce the cost for capital gains purposes.

If the sale price is less than the cost, there is a loss for CGT. This loss can be set against capital gains of the same year and any unused loss can be carried forward to future years.

CGT is payable at the appropriate rate depending upon whether the taxpayer is liable at the basic or higher rate. This is chargeable on all gains above the CGT annual exemption limit. There is an annual exemption amount for each tax year, although this cannot be carried forward if it is not used.

Where an employee disposes of shares on or after 6 April 2013 which were acquired on exercise of an EMI option, that disposal may qualify for Business Asset Disposal Relief from capital gains tax provided certain conditions are met. Where Business Asset Disposal Relief is available, capital gains tax is charged at a rate of 14% on the gain. The normal conditions for Business Asset Disposal Relief apply except that:
- it is not necessary for the employee’s shareholding to be at least 5% (in terms of voting power and nominal share capital), and
- the period between grant of the EMI option and disposal of the relevant shares must be no less than two years.
Business Asset Disposal Relief is not available where shares are acquired on exercise of an EMI option more than 90 days after a disqualifying event, nor where the period between the date of grant of the option and the disqualifying event is less than one year.

Application of new testing standards not yet included in MSN 1874: UK25/G001
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-11)

UK approved recommendation UK25/G001 on the early application of available testing standards before their inclusion into MSN 1874. Adopted EU recommendation GEN-059.

Question

Can conformity approval certificates be issued for marine equipment listing more recent versions of performance requirements and testing standards than those listed in the current version of MSN 1874?

Recommendation

A conformity approval certificate can list a more recent version of an IMO Performance Standard and any associated testing standards than those listed in the current version of MSN 1874, provided that the product in question also complies with the testing standard(s) listed in the current version of MSN 1874.

In such cases, the certificate shall clearly identify the superseded IMO Performance Standard, together with the currently applicable testing standard(s) as well as the new testing standard(s) that that will most likely replace them.

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 Hays 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;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Hays recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
We also pledge the following:

Service Spouses & Partners: supporting the employment of Service spouses and partners; partnering with the Forces Families Jobs Forum; and providing flexibility in granting leave for Service spouses and partners before, during and after a partners deployment

2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
