The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advises British nationals against all travel to the whole of Russia. If you are in Russia and your presence is not essential, we strongly advise that you consider leaving.

Getting help

If you cannot get the support you need from local services, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) can help British people abroad.

We prioritise emergencies and people who are vulnerable, for example, if someone’s:

ill, injured, or involved in a crime

with a British person who’s died

Get help from FCDO (https://www.contact.service.csd.fcdo.gov.uk/posts/russia/british-embassy-moscow)

Get an emergency travel document

You can apply for an emergency travel document (https://www.gov.uk/emergency-travel-document) if you’re abroad and your passport has been lost or stolen (https://www.gov.uk/report-a-lost-or-stolen-passport), damaged or expired, and you can’t get a new or replacement passport (https://www.gov.uk/renew-adult-passport) in time to travel.

Apply online for an emergency travel document (https://www.gov.uk/emergency-travel-document)

If the person needing the emergency travel document is under 16, a parent or guardian should apply on their behalf.

If you are travelling in more than 3 weeks, check if you can get a new or replacement passport (https://www.gov.uk/renew-adult-passport) in time to travel.

If you arrived in Russia on a Russian visa, its replacement must be obtained via visa sponsor in order to leave Russia. If you apply for an ETD because your passport has been lost or stolen, you will be expected to produce a police report when applying for an exit visa from Russian authorities.

If you’re not a British citizen or have not had a British passport before

If you’re not sure, check if you’re a British citizen (https://www.gov.uk/check-british-citizen).

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.

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.

The panel aims to identify key areas for improvement in our current approach to tackling problematic drug and alcohol use in the criminal justice system in England and Wales.

The Drug and Alcohol Recovery Expert Panel’s (DAREP) purpose is to identify key areas for improvement in our current approach to tackling problematic drug and alcohol use in the criminal justice system (CJS) in England and Wales, and to test whether we are being sufficiently ambitious. By bringing together leading experts, this panel can be used to provide robust, evidencebased insights and explore new initiatives that reduce and prevent demand for drugs and alcohol, address the root causes of problematic drug and alcohol use, support treatment engagement and long-term recovery, and reduce harm. The Panel is strictly an advisory body and has no executive powers.
Animal testing and research: compliance with ASPA
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-23)

How the Animals in Science Regulation Unit sets and upholds standards and compliance at all establishments licensed under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act.

As the regulator, the Animals in Science Regulation Unit (ASRU) seeks to set, uphold and advance standards of conduct and compliance at all establishments licensed under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act (ASPA).

Compliance policy

You can read the Compliance policy (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/689365f31217374e421d4e85/ASRU_Compliance_Policy_December_Final.pdf) (PDF, 285 KB, 17 pages) which explains how ASRU identifies and investigates potential incidents of non-compliance and decides on appropriate and proportionate measures and remedies aimed to minimise the risk of recurrence. This document is primarily aimed at those who work within the life science research community under ASPA, but will also be of interest to those wishing to know more about how ASRU regulates.

Patterns of low level concerns

The patterns of low-level concern (https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/512098/Patterns_low-level_concerns.pdf) describes the approach that is taken when inspectors identify low-level concerns. The identification of low-level concerns in an establishment are not in themselves breaches of ASPA or licence conditions but, taken together, form a pattern which could indicate that a management or welfare regime may have weaknesses which could pose an increased risk of non-compliance or adverse animal welfare.

Judicial Summary

This case concerns JG’s entitlement to tax credits in the 2021/2022 tax year. His partner had become ordinarily resident in Slovenia in 2019, where she was caring for her mother and the children of herself and JG. JG visited her from 1 June 2021 to 17 December 2021. This exceeded the permitted period of temporary absence under the Tax Credits (Residence) Regulations 2003. As a result, his award of tax credits was limited to the inclusive period from 6 April 2021 to 24 August 2021. No allowance could be made for the travel disruption caused by the pandemic. Following the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU, JG could not benefit from any provision of the Withdrawal Agreement. The First-tier Tribunal had no jurisdiction to deal with JG’s complaints about information on the official website or advice given by the helpline.

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.

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.

Signing of this MoU marks an important milestone in both countries’ commitment to a foreign policy agenda focused on women’s rights.

As part of the visit of Chile’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Gloria de la Fuente to the United Kingdom, and the UK and Chile’s shared commitment to promoting human rights and gender equality, the UK and Chile signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Cooperation in Gender Equality on 2 May. The MoU, with the aim of establishing sustained mutual cooperation in this area, was signed by the Minister for Latin America, Baroness Chapman, and the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gloria de la Fuente, in London.

The MoU, the first of its kind that the United Kingdom has signed, marks an important milestone in both countries’ commitment to a foreign policy agenda focused on women’s rights and reflects a shared determination to move towards more equitable, inclusive and respectful societies.

Baroness Chapman, Minister for International Development, Latin America and the Caribbean, said:

Chile is a vital partner in our shared efforts to promote equality for women and girls.

The MoU establishes mechanisms for cooperation, political dialogue and best practices in key areas, such as the promotion of participation in international affairs and the political empowerment of women and girls.

Louise de Sousa, British Ambassador to Chile, said:

The signing of this memorandum strengthens bilateral ties between the United Kingdom and Chile and establishes cooperation to deliver equality for women and girls around the world.

How to implement Social Rent convergence
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-02)

We are seeking views on a new Direction to the Regulator of Social Housing in relation to social housing rent policy from 1 April 2026 that includes Social Rent convergence.

​​Following the consultation on future social housing rent policy (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-on-future-social-housing-rent-policy) published in 2024, we are seeking views on a draft Direction to the Regulator of Social Housing that includes Social Rent convergence.

The Direction would require the Regulator to set a regulatory standard on rents that will apply to Registered Providers of social housing. This comprises:
- ​Private Registered Providers (including housing associations that are Private Registered Providers)
- ​Local authority Registered Providers (i.e. local authorities with retained housing stock)
​Section 197 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 gives the Secretary of State the power to direct the Regulator of Social Housing to set a standard on rent, and about the content of that standard. Once issued, a Direction is binding on the Regulator. We propose to use this power to issue a new Direction to the Regulator on rent. The proposed Direction has been published alongside this consultation.
