National Security & Investment act 2021

S.54 of the National Security & Investment Act (NS&I) 2021 provides a legal gateway that enables public authorities, including HMRC, to disclose information to the Secretary of State for the purposes of carrying out functions under the NS&I legislation.

The NS&I legislation creates functions to enhance the government’s ability to investigate and where appropriate intervene in mergers, acquisitions and other deals that could threaten UK national security. This includes determining whether certain business transactions present a national security risk and taking interventions where necessary.

The type of information that is likely to be requested under the NS&I legal gateway may include;
- Personal information - Personal information including relating to income and, if appropriate, tax compliance relating to directors, relatives, dependents and associates linked with companies involved in events that trigger a national security assessment.
- Business information - Information relating to businesses involved in events that trigger a national security assessment including size of the organisation and number of employees, business sector the entity operates in, tax compliance of the businesses (if deemed necessary), information about domestic and business properties, suppliers and service providers, agents and representatives.
The level of information that can be disclosed is likely to vary from one request to another. You will need to ensure any disclosure is limited to what is relevant, adequate but no more than the minimum necessary to achieve the specified purpose in the request; usually this will be the information DBT require to carry out an investigation into a transaction or taken intervention action if needed.

Any requests for onward disclosure by anyone who receives HMRC information originally supplied under s.54 of the NS&I will need HMRC consent as stipulated in s.55 of the NS&I act.

All requests for information sharing and onward disclosure consent under the NS&I legal gateway should be routed through the central data sharing front door team for impacting and consideration. Please contact xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) for more information and for a copy of the business case template that will need to be submitted.

If you have any queries or are unclear about supplying information under the NS&I legal gateway please consult with your Security & Information Business Partner in the first instance.
The United Kingdom voted in favour of today’s resolution, which allows UNIFIL to operate for 16 months before an orderly withdrawal: UK explanation of vote at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-27)

UK explanation of vote delivered by Ambassador James Kariuki, UK Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, following the Security Council vote on the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).

I thank our French colleagues for their leadership in guiding the Council through the process of renewing UNIFIL’s mandate.

The United Kingdom has always been a strong supporter of UNIFIL.

I pay tribute to the tireless efforts of the Mission’s troops and staff, and to the memory of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

The United Kingdom voted in favour of today’s resolution, which allows UNIFIL to operate for 16 months before an orderly withdrawal.

However, it is disappointing that despite the best efforts of the penholder, the Council was not able to make this significant decision on the basis of an evidence-based assessment of the impact of UNIFIL’s withdrawal.

The United Kingdom believes that a premature withdrawal of UNIFIL would risk fostering a security environment that Hizballah can exploit.

That would harm communities on both sides of the Blue Line, and set back efforts for a long-term political agreement.

The decision to end UNIFIL’s mission also comes in the context of a continued Israeli presence in Southern Lebanon and near daily overflights, including airstrikes.

These actions are not conducive to the stability across the Blue Line, and we urge Israel to withdraw its forces and respect Lebanon’s territorial integrity.

We condemn Hizballah’s attempts to maintain weapons outside of state control and agree that the Lebanese state must become the sole security provider in southern Lebanon.

Indeed, we have supported the Lebanese Armed Forces for over a decade.

They have made clear strides but increased international support will be needed to allow them to take ownership of security in the South.

President, nineteen years ago, resolution 1701 established a framework for lasting peace across the Blue Line.

We regret that UNIFIL is set to withdraw before that resolution has been implemented in full.

In that context, we call on all partners to redouble their commitments to creating the conditions required for security, stability and a long-term political solution in southern Lebanon.

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.

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.

Neonicotinoid product as seed treatment for sugar beet: emergency authorisation application 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-23)

The Minister for Water and Flooding denies application for emergency authorisation to use a product containing a neonicotinoid to treat seeds for the 2025 sugar beet crop in England.

In the summer of 2024, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) received an application from the National Farmers Union (NFU) and British Sugar seeking an emergency authorisation for the use of a neonicotinoid product as a seed treatment on sugar beet. The product is ‘Cruiser SB’, which provides protection against the potato peach aphid and the yellows virus it transmits.

After careful consideration of all the issues and evidence, Emma Hardy MP, Minister for Water and Flooding and the minister responsible for pesticides, has decided not to grant an authorisation for emergency use of the product Cruiser SB, which contains the neonicotinoid thiamethoxam, for the treatment of sugar beet seed in England in 2025.

Alongside the statement of reasons for this decision, we are publishing the following documents that informed the decision-making process:

The UK is deeply concerned at recent political tensions and increased fighting across South Sudan: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-16)

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

I will make three points.

First, the United Kingdom is deeply concerned at recent political tensions and increased fighting across South Sudan between parties to the 2018 peace agreement and other opposition forces. This includes the ongoing conflict in Upper Nile State.

We are appalled by the attack on a UN helicopter in Nasir which resulted in the death of an UNMISS contractor.

The current escalation risks South Sudan’s hard-won peace.

A return to widespread conflict would devastate the country and have damaging consequences for the broader region, especially in the context of the ongoing crisis in Sudan.

The escalation of violence in the Upper Nile State has already caused dozens of civilian casualties and displaced at least 120,000 people.

So we urge the parties to ensure safe and unhindered humanitarian access to civilian populations in Nasir and Ulang who are in need of emergency assistance and protection.

Second, we are concerned by the arrest and ongoing detention of First Vice President Machar.

This action undermines the core principles of the 2018 peace agreement.

Alongside the AU and other international partners, we call for this action to be reversed to enable both parties to return to dialogue.

We welcome efforts by regional partners, including the African Union and IGAD, to work with the South Sudanese leadership to de-escalate tensions.

And we call on South Sudan’s collective leadership to cease hostilities, release political detainees, including First Vice President Machar, and to engage seriously with regional mediation efforts.

Third, President, the recent instability is a reminder of the importance of UNMISS as a peace partner for South Sudan.

The United Kingdom commends UNMISS’ work to de-escalate tensions and protect civilians.

In this challenging context, their work to monitor human rights violations and support the provision of humanitarian assistance is critical.

And we call on the South Sudanese leadership to ensure the mission has freedom of movement, without political interference, so that it can effectively carry out its mandate from this Council.
RFIG20570 - Statutory Residence Test (SRT): The ties test: 90-day tie
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-06)


The individual will have a 90-day tie for the tax year if they have spent more than 90 days in the UK in either or both of the previous 2 tax years immediately before the year under consideration.

The 90-day tie is calculated based on the number of days spent in the UK in any one tax year, not a combination of the days spent in the UK over 2 tax years. Each tax year is considered separately.

Example 1

Mo has spent the following number of days in the UK:

2021-22 tax year – 50 days spent in the UK

2022-23 tax year – 50 days spent in the UK

2023-24 – tax year under consideration

Mo does not have a 90-day tie for the 2023-24 tax year as she has not spent 90 days or more in the UK in either or both of the 2 tax years before the tax year under consideration.

Example 2

Finn has spent the following number of days in the UK:

2015-16 tax year – 98 days spent in the UK

2016-17 tax year – 51 days spent in the UK

2017-18 – tax year under consideration

Finn has a 90-day tie for the 2017-18 tax year as he spent 98 days in the UK during the 2015-16 tax year, which is one of the 2 tax years before the year under consideration.

Pupil premium (PP) (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/pupil-premium) grant provides additional funding for state-funded schools in England to raise the educational attainment of disadvantaged pupils. Schools and local authorities must follow the terms and conditions set out in the PP conditions of grant.

Allocations

We have now published the confirmed quarters 1, 2 and 3 pupil premium grant allocations for 2025 to 2026. These allocations include pupil referral units (PRUs) and alternative provision (AP) academies which were formerly PRUs.

The school level pupil premium allocations published on GOV.UK are only the deprivation FSM6 element of the allocations and do not include the pupils listed below as this data is suppressed due to data protection guidelines:
- looked-after children (LAC), including previously looked-after children (PLAC)

The Prime Minister met German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Downing Street this afternoon.

The Prime Minister met German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Downing Street this afternoon following the signing of a new UK-Germany bilateral treaty, the first of its kind.

The leaders reflected on the importance of the Treaty in demonstrating the UK and Germany’s status as the closest of strategic partners and celebrated the opportunity to deepen ties, tackle shared challenges, and invest in shared strengths together.

The Prime Minister thanked Chancellor Merz for his commitment to introduce legislation to be adopted by the end of the year to make it illegal to facilitate illegal migration to the UK. The Prime Minister said that this will make a significant difference in disrupting the criminal networks driving small boats crossings to the UK. Both leaders agreed that tackling irregular migration is an absolute priority and they would look at how they could go further together to tackle it.

The Prime Minister also welcomed the news that Germany would be opening its eGates for frequent travellers from the UK by the end of the summer and looked forward to this being extended to all travellers as soon as possible.

On defence and security, the leaders reflected on the important commitments made today to deliver the new Deep Precision Strike capability within the next decade and agreed that closer cooperation on defence exports and between their defence industries will pose valuable opportunities for economic growth in both the UK and Germany.

They agreed that it remains vital to provide steadfast support to Ukraine to defend itself against Russia’s illegal war, and that they would stand together with Ukraine as long as it takes.

Turning to the situation in the Middle East, the leaders agreed that the situation in Gaza was unacceptable. They underlined the urgent need for a ceasefire, and the return of all hostages, to pave the way for a two-state solution and a secure future for Palestinians and Israelis.

Finally, the leaders reflected on how the Treaty signed today would be the basis of a relationship between their two countries that would be closer than ever and looked forward to continuing to work together on their shared priorities.

Vimkunya vaccine approved to prevent disease caused by the chikungunya virus in people 12 years of age and older
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-01)

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has today (1 May 2025) approved a vaccine (Vimkunya) used to prevent disease caused by the chikungunya virus in people 12 years of age and older.

Chikungunya disease is caused by the chikungunya virus, which is transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes. The disease is found in countries across Asia, Africa and the subtropical regions of the Americas. Most people infected with the virus develop fever, rash, and severe pain in multiple joints that typically resolve between one to two weeks, but symptoms may last for months or years.

This vaccine has been approved through the International Recognition Procedure (IRP). The IRP allows the MHRA to take into account the expertise and decision-making of trusted regulatory partners for the benefit of UK patients.

The MHRA conducts a targeted assessment of IRP applications and retains the authority to reject applications if the evidence provided is not considered sufficiently robust.

As with any medicine, the MHRA will keep the safety and effectiveness of this vaccine under close review. Anyone who suspects they are having a side effect from this medicine are encouraged to talk to their doctor, pharmacist or nurse and report it directly to the MHRA Yellow Card scheme, either through the website (https://yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/) or by searching the Google Play or Apple App stores for MHRA Yellow Card.

Notes to editors

The variation to the marketing authorisation was granted on 01 May 2025 to Bavarian Nordic A/S.

More information can be found in the Summary of Product Characteristics and Patient Information leaflets which will be published on the MHRA Products website (https://products.mhra.gov.uk/) within 7 days of approval.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is responsible for regulating all medicines and medical devices in the UK by ensuring they work and are acceptably safe. All our work is underpinned by robust and fact-based judgments to ensure that the benefits justify any risks.

HMAG152701 - Excise duty points: excise goods lawfully imported into Northern Ireland but an excise duty-suspended movement is not started by a registered consignor in Northern Ireland
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-30)


The relevant provisions are contained in The Excise Goods (Holding, Movement and Duty Point) Regulations 2010 (as amended) in force immediately before 11pm on 31 December 2020 as modified and applied in relation to excise goods in Northern Ireland by Part 1 of the Excise Duties (Northern Ireland Miscellaneous Modifications and Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (as amended) (commonly known as NI HMDP)).

This section applies when excise goods have been imported into Northern Ireland and have been correctly declared to free circulation and excise duty-suspension in accordance with customs legislation. However, the excise goods are subsequently moved from the place of importation without a registered consignor in Northern Ireland starting the excise duty-suspended movement on EMCS. This is treated as a regular importation for customs purposes but for excise duty purposes, the goods have been released for consumption because there has been a breach of the excise duty-suspension requirements. An excise duty point therefore arises under regulation 6(1)(d)(i).

Excise duty point

Where there is a release for consumption under regulation 6(1)(d)(i) an excise duty point arises under regulation 5. The excise duty point is the time the goods are charged with duty at importation.

Person/s liable to pay the duty

The person/s liable to pay the duty when there is a release for consumption under regulation 6(1)(d)(i) following a regular importation are shown in regulation 12(1).

In the case of a regular importation, the person liable to pay the duty is the person who declares the excise goods or on whose behalf they are declared upon importation. This will normally be the import agent or the person instructing the agent to act on their behalf.

There is no joint and several provision associated with regulation 12(1).
