Northern Ireland Office launches consultation on proposed amendments to the Control of Explosives Precursors etc. Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2014
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-27)

The Northern Ireland Office is seeking views on proposed amendments to the Control of Explosives Precursors etc. Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2014 to strengthen the control of explosive precursors in Northern Ireland and bring in similar measures to those found in Great Britain.

The Government is considering introducing secondary legislation to amend the Control of Explosives Precursors etc. Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2014 (the 2014 NI Regulations) to strengthen the control of explosive precursors in Northern Ireland, bringing in similar measures to those in Great Britain under the Control of Explosives Precursors and Poisons Regulations 2023. The aim of this proposal is to ensure there is a consistent level of protection against the misuse of these substances across the UK.

The amendments to the law in Great Britain brought in by the Control of Explosives Precursors and Poisons Regulations 2023 were identified following a detailed review of the legislation relating to controls of explosives precursors and poisons following the Manchester Arena and Parsons Green explosives attacks in 2017, and strengthened the safeguards that are in place to prevent the illicit use of explosives precursors.

Furthermore, in order to facilitate dual access to both the UK Internal Market and the EU Single Market, Northern Ireland continues to apply Regulation (EU) 2019/1148 (the 2019 Regulation) on the marketing and use of explosives precursors under the terms of the Windsor Framework. The 2019 Regulation, and the duties imposed on individuals and businesses, have applied in Northern Ireland since 1 February 2021, but consequential changes to the 2014 NI Regulations are required to ensure the 2019 Regulation is fully implemented.

The consultation will run for 12 weeks and provide the public and wider interested parties with the opportunity to have their say on the proposed amendments to the Control of Explosives Precursors etc. Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2014.

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 Graham Shapiro Design 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 Graham Shapiro Design 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 Service Veterans And Leavers
- Armed Forces Charities
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.

Understanding and valuing road freight travel time
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-21)

Research that aims to estimate new road freight values of travel time.

The value of travel time (VTT) is one of the key sets of values used in the modelling and appraisal of transport investments. For road freight, they represent the value attached to changes in journey time by businesses that move cargo in the UK.

This research presents the results of a major survey of businesses to provide a robust set of road freight VTTs for use in transport modelling and appraisal. It consists of:
- a report that summarises research undertaken and sets out proposals for updates to transport analysis guidance (TAG)
- research commissioned by DfT and National Highways and carried out by ARUP, AECOM, the Institute for Transport Studies and Significance
See the peer review of this research (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/peer-review-freight-value-of-time-and-value-of-reliability) and the peer review response (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/road-freight-travel-time-response-to-the-peer-review) for more information.

Vehicle speed compliance statistics for Great Britain: 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-25)

Estimates on vehicle compliance with speed limits on roads in Great Britain during 2024.

Our statistical practice is regulated by the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR). OSR sets the standards of trustworthiness, quality and value in the Code of Practice for Statistics that all producers of official statistics should adhere to. You are welcome to contact us directly by emailing xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) with any comments about how we meet these standards.

These statistics provide insight into speeds at which drivers choose to travel and their compliance with speed limits under free flow conditions but should not be taken as estimates of actual speed compliance or actual average speed across the wider road network.

These statistics are based on speed data from a sample of the Department for Transport’s Automatic Traffic Counters (ATCs), chosen to exclude locations where external factors might restrict driver behaviour (for example junctions, hills, sharp bends and speed cameras).

From 2018 to 2024 under free-flowing conditions:

The percentage of cars that exceeded the speed limit decreased on 30mph roads and motorways and remained broadly similar on national speed limit single carriageways.

On national speed limit single carriageway roads cars, rigid heavy goods vehicles and articulated heavy goods vehicles speed limit exceedance remained broadly similar over time. Motorcycles showed a small decrease in speed limit exceedance overtime.

On motorways, cars, light commercial vehicles and motorcycles all showed a decrease in speed limit exceedance over time. Articulated heavy goods vehicles speed limit exceedance remained similar over time.

In 2024 under free-flowing conditions:

43% of cars exceeded the limit on 30mph roads

9% of cars exceeded the limit on national speed limit single carriageways

44% of cars exceeded the limit on motorways

Upper Tribunal Administrative Appeals Chamber decision by Judge Church on 29 September 2025.

Judicial Summary

This appeal is about the need for tribunals to ensure that their findings of fact are grounded in evidence, to avoid the temptation to speculate about matters on which they have heard no evidence, and to make clear findings of fact about each matter that is necessary to determine the material issues in the appeal.

In this case the Tribunal should have stuck to hearing the evidence, assessing it critically, and making findings based on the evidence as it assessed it. The Tribunal fell into error when it strayed into speculating about whether the claimant and members of his family might adopt “traditional roles”, a matter on which it heard no evidence.
Cyber security of AI: a call for views

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.
