Helping the Department for Transport increase data resilience
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-04)

The DfT needed to understand data flows within cargo shipments to identify and mitigate potential supply chain risks.

The Department for Transport (DfT) needed to understand data flows within cargo shipments so that it could identify potential supply chain risks and how to mitigate them, increasing resilience.

The Accelerated Capability Environment (ACE) was asked to develop a reusable methodology that could map the types of data that flow through cargo systems, including third-party integrations, and identify potential vulnerabilities.

While this methodology would initially be focused on airports, it also needed to be reusable at road, rail and maritime hubs handling cargo. A second requirement was creating guidance that would enable other transport operators to map supply chain flows and data in their own systems.

A call out to ACE’s Vivace supplier community resulted in 12 submissions of interest, with four shortlisted to give presentations at an accelerator day.

From these, Arup was chosen to be the supplier because of its strong team and varied experience and a medium-sized airport was identified as a suitable pilot site.

Data discovery

This commission came from the DfT’s cyber arm, which had not worked with ACE before, and so the first step was working together to fully scope the problem.

This involved identifying exactly what data is captured around cargo planes flying in and out of an airport, including where data came in and left airport systems, where cargo is going next, the suppliers and systems involved at every stage, and defining the processes data goes through.

This phase also involved interviews with key stakeholders in the cargo handling process and exploring whether learning from other industries and government departments about how cybersecurity risks are captured and mitigated could be applied here.

Work for the remainder of the eight-week commission then shifted to consolidating the data model, mapping the data flows and the cybersecurity risk assessment.

Ultimately, a standardised methodology approach was created, covering three key steps of understanding data flows, reviewing threats and vulnerabilities, and identifying risks and implementing cost-effective security controls.

Guidance that could be used by other teams to easily create their own processes was created, and cybersecurity risks outlined at a high level. Four potential next steps for this work were also suggested.

A show-and-tell explaining the findings in greater detail, and how these were repeatable elsewhere, was held for DfT stakeholders in maritime policy, aircraft security, aviation strategy and rail resilience and the methodology shared. Next steps are now being considered.

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.

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.

Judicial Summary

The appellant had been accepted by the Secretary of State as having limited capability for work (LCW) on the basis that “there would be a substantial risk to the physical or mental health of any person were the claimant found not to have limited capability for work”, but not as having limited capability for work-related activity (LCWRA) on the same basis. The First-tier Tribunal dismissed his appeal and confirmed the decision of the Secretary of State, but for reasons from which it would have followed in this case that the appellant should not be treated as LCW either. The Upper Tribunal holds that the First-tier Tribunal’s reasons were inadequate in failing to recognise and address this inconsistency. The First-tier Tribunal also erred in proceeding on the assumption that the opinion of the healthcare practitioner (HCP) as to risk was addressing the risk by reference to the relevant legal test when there was no evidence before the Tribunal that the HCP was aware of the most onerous work-related activities that the appellant might be asked to carry out.

An authorised NES simplified procedure trader may employ the services of a third party to act on their behalf. The third party may then submit/ transmit the authorised trader's declaration to Customs. The third party may also be employed to maintain certain supporting documentation or records for the authorised trader. These records/documents must be made available at the authorised trader's premises on request to allow Customs to undertake any necessary post-clearance checks or audits. The timescales for the presentation of these documents must be specified in the authorised trader's authorisation.

The authorisation holder should hold a record of the agreement made between themselves and the third party and the roles and responsibilities of the third party within their documented procedures.

As the third party is not the authorised party for NES simplified procedures they will be deemed to be acting in a direct capacity. The Direct Representative (DR) must state that they are acting in a direct capacity by entering code 2 and their Trader Identification details (EORI) in Box 14 of all supplementary declarations. The authorised NES simplified procedure trader retains liability for any customs debts arising from the use of NES simplified procedures.

If the NES simplified procedure trader wishes to use a DR to submit their declarations or maintain their NES simplified procedure records/ supporting documentation they must gain prior authorisation from their authorising office. The details of the DR must be quoted within their NES simplified procedure application (C&E48) and their authorisation (C&E58).

Note: The use of a third party to submit their declarations and/or maintain their records does not transfer any civil liability for customs debts from the authorised NES simplified procedure trader to third party.

Any failure to comply with the conditions of their authorisation regarding the maintenance of these records will result in action being taken against the NES simplified procedure authorised trader only, not the DR.

An e-seminar produced as part of the Joint Knowledge Transfer Framework for Food Standards and Food Safety Analysis

UK food labelling regulations require that if any of the 14 priority allergens are present in a food product, this must be stated. As allergies are an important food safety issue, it is essential to have validated methods in place to both detect and quantify the presence of allergens in food products.

This e-seminar summarises the content of FSA report FS900246, a report by Fera Science Ltd., which provides a review of allergen analytical testing methodologies. It also covers information, guidance and best practice on how and where to apply the approaches described, in order to detect priority allergens in foods.

This e-seminar was produced by the Joint Knowledge Transfer Framework for Food Standards and Food Safety Analysis, funded by the Food Standards Agency, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Food Standards Scotland and the Department for Science Innovation and Technology via the Government Chemist.

Cameroon: Portsmouth and Bamenda mark 50 years of faithful twinning
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-01)

The Portsmouth–Bamenda partnership shows how local faith-based ties can spark global change, driving peace, education, and humanitarian impact in Cameroon.

The Catholic Diocese of Portsmouth and the Archdiocese of Bamenda, Cameroon are celebrating over 50 years of close cooperation through their historic twinning, welcoming the UK High Commissioner to Cameroon, Matt Woods, to Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Portsmouth on 29 September, to mark the occasion.

The High Commissioner met the Bishop of Portsmouth, the Rt Rev Philip Egan, priests from Bamenda, and members of the local community to celebrate the deep personal and spiritual connections between them that have grown from their long-standing collaboration.

Established in 1974, the twinning partnership has enabled the exchange of priests for study and work and provided practical and financial support for development projects in Bamenda, the capital of the North-West region and part of the Anglophone region.

Speaking during the visit, High Commissioner Woods said:

The enduring partnership between Portsmouth and Bamenda is a testament to the strength of community-led international cooperation. It reflects the UK’s broader commitment to supporting peace, education and humanitarian relief in Cameroon. I am honoured to celebrate this milestone and reaffirm our support for those affected by conflict in Cameroon.

The UK has consistently stood by the people of Cameroon and works closely with partners to promote stability, protect vulnerable populations, and ensure access to essential services across Cameroon.

Over the last 5 years, the UK Government has provided over £20 million in humanitarian assistance across Cameroon to save lives and alleviate suffering. The UK Government has also supported the UN’s Education Cannot Wait programme, which provides education support to children.

- which are in free circulation within the EU
- imported in quantities falling below the de minimis levels tabled within Regulation 376/2008 (Annex II) where no claim to licence preference is being made. These de minimis levels are included in CHIEF standing data and the table is replicated in the RPA's ET1 leaflet
- imported from non-EU countries which are not entered for free circulation, eg IPR goods
- for which a C88 declaration is not required, eg private belongings, or
- qualifying as EU returned.
Merchandise in Baggage must be declared to Customs and are subject to normal licensing procedures.

UK hammers Putin's energy revenues with fresh sanctions
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-20)

Fresh sanctions ramp up pressure on Russia’s critical oil industry and hit Putin’s creaking shadow fleet operation.

- UK announces 137 sanctions targeting Putin’s critical energy and oil sectors.
- New sanctions will disrupt the flow of oil money into Putin’s war chest and strand more of his beleaguered shadow fleet.
- Today’s action comes as the UK and EU lowered the Crude Oil Price Cap further disrupting the flow of oil money into Putin’s war chest.
The 137 targets strike at the heart of Russia’s energy sector, restricting Putin’s access to key oil revenues bankrolling his illegal war in Ukraine.

The new sanctions further crack down on Putin’s shadow fleet operations, targeting 135 oil tankers which form part of the fleet responsible for illicitly carrying $24 billion worth of cargo since the start of 2024.

Today’s action also tightens the net around those enabling Russia’s illicit shadow fleet oil trade, hitting INTERSHIPPING SERVICES LLC, responsible for registering shadow fleet vessels under the banner of the Gabonese flag, resulting in these vessels transporting up to $10 billion worth of goods on behalf of the Russian state per year. Sanctions also target LITASCO MIDDLE EAST DMCC, which is linked to Russian oil major Lukoil, for its ongoing role in moving large volumes of Russian oil on shadow fleet vessels.

Every attack we launch against Russia’s critical oil industry is another step towards securing a lasting peace in Ukraine, and a step towards security in the UK and beyond. Keeping the country safe is this government’s priority and is an integral part of the Prime Minister’s Plan for Change.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy said:

New sanctions will further dismantle Putin’s shadow fleet and drain Russia’s war chest of its critical oil revenues.

As Putin continues to stall and delay on serious peace talks, we will not stand idly by. We will continue to use the full might of our sanctions regime to ratchet up economic pressure at every turn and stand side by side with Ukraine.

This announcement further demonstrates the UK’s tough approach to those who continue to prop up Putin’s oil industry, enable his shadow fleet operation and aid and abet his illegal war in Ukraine.

To date western sanctions have resulted in Russia’s oil and gas revenues falling every year since 2022 – losing over a third of its value in three years. Sanctions and the cost of Putin’s barbaric war are causing the Russian economy to stall – with the wealth fund hollowed out, inflation rising and government spend on defence and security spiralling.

Today’s action comes as the UK and EU lowered the Crude Oil Price Cap disrupting the flow of oil money into Putin’s war chest and striking at the heart of his oil revenues.

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.

Evaluation Task Force Output and Outcome Indicators (March 2025)
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-04)

This report provides an update on progress against the Evaluation Task Force’s (ETF) output and outcome indicators.

This report provides an update on progress against the Evaluation Task Force’s (ETF) output and outcome indicators. As outlined in the Evaluation Task Force Strategy (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-evaluation-task-force-strategy-2022-2025), the ETF monitors progress against a range of output and outcome indicators, which are designed to track activity across government that aims to:
- Improve the scale and quality of evaluation
- Increase transparency surrounding research and evaluation outputs
- Support evidence-informed decision making.
The ETF will report publicly on each priority indicator on an annual basis. Across indicators that note ‘within the last 12 months’ this denotes financial years. In this round of reporting last 12 month figures cover 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025. Where cumulative figures are reported, these are taken from the ETF inception (April 2021).

The indicators are not wholly controlled or ‘owned’ by the ETF. Driving progress towards the targets outlined in the ETF Strategy will be dependent on cross-government partners working together to build an improved evaluation ecosystem.

Outcome 1: Government departments design and deliver robust and proportionate evaluation across their portfolio

Outcome 2: Government departments have a transparent approach to their evaluation activity, publishing evaluation outputs in a timely fashion

Outcome 3: Good-quality evaluation evidence informs decision-making in government

*Please note that the Registry metrics were collected on 2nd April 2025 and therefore represent a slightly longer time period than other metrics, which were finalised on 31st March 2025.
