Solomon Islanders will need an ETA to travel to UK from January
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-14)

ETAs are digitally linked to a traveller’s passport and ensure that more robust security checks are carried out before people begin their journey to the UK.

From January 2025, Solomon Islanders wishing to travel to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland will need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). Everyone who do not need a visa currently to travel to the UK – except British and Irish citizens – will need an ETA to travel in advance of arrival.
- ETAs will cost SBD $100 (£10) to apply for and will be valid for two years
- those transiting through the UK will need to obtain an ETA too
- ETAs can be obtained through the new UK ETA app via the App Store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/uk-eta/id6444912481) and Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.gov.HomeOffice.ho3&hl=en_GB&pli=1)
This move is in line with the approach of other countries such as New Zealand, the USA and Australia.

ETAs are digitally linked to a traveller’s passport and ensure more robust security checks are carried out before people begin their journey to the UK.

An ETA costs SBD $100 (£10) and permits multiple journeys to the UK for stays of up to six months at a time over two years or until the holder’s passport expires – whichever is sooner.

The new system has been operating since November 2024 but from this month (January) it will become a requirement for anyone travelling to the UK who does not require a visa.

ETA can be applied for through a quick and simple process using the UK ETA app and online (https://apply-for-an-eta.homeoffice.gov.uk/apply/electronic-travel-authorisation/how-to-apply).

Deputy British High Commissioner to Solomon Islands, Emma Davis, said:

This digitisation enables a smooth experience for the millions of people who pass through the border every year, including Solomon Islanders whom we warmly welcome to the UK.

This change is on the back of a worldwide expansion of the Electronic Travel Authorisations which demonstrate the UK’s commitment to enhancing security through new technology and creating a modern immigration system.

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 Realise Futures 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 Realise Futures 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:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- 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.
Ministerial Directions
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-27)

This series brings together all published Ministerial Directions.

Section 3.4 of Managing Public Money sets out that accounting officers should routinely scrutinise significant policy proposals or plans to start or vary major projects and then assess whether they measure up to the standards set out in Managing Public Money. The accounting officer should draw any issues to the attention of the responsible minister to see whether they can be resolved.

If the minister decides it is nevertheless appropriate to continue with a course that does not meet the Managing Public Money standards, the accounting officer should ask for a formal written direction to proceed. Since 2011, there has been a presumption that such directions are published, unless the matter must be kept confidential.

Below are links to all the directions that have been published since 2011. There were no Ministerial Directions published between 2011 and 2014.

Carriage by sea of passengers

The phrase ‘carriage by sea of passengers’ is not defined, so it has its ordinary, everyday meaning. Although largely self-explanatory, the context suggests the transport of ticket-holding passengers from A to B for a fare in the case of ferries, or as paying customers in the case of a cruise liner.

It does not include:
- chartered yachts, as they are specifically excluded by FA00/SCH22/PARA20 (1)(b), see TTM03630 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm03630);

Addition of quadruple test to Edwards' syndrome screening pathway
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-19)

The UK NSC consulted on whether to add the quadruple test to the antenatal screening pathway for Edwards' syndrome.

The UK NSC consulted on a rapid review of modelled data conducted by NHS England. This data suggested that the quadruple screening test, which is offered to pregnant women who miss the first trimester combined screening test, should be used to screen for Edwards’ syndrome in addition to Down’s syndrome.

We therefore asked stakeholders and the public read the consultation document below to provide feedback on the following question:

Does the evidence from this rapid review demonstrate that the quadruple test is accurate enough to be added to the antenatal screening pathway for Edwards’ syndrome (Trisomy 18)?

UK’s Vice Admiral Ahlgren Visits Lebanon's Eastern Border
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-15)

The visit underscores the UK’s ongoing commitment to support the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) in enhancing its ability to secure Lebanon’s borders.

The UK Defence Senior Advisor to the Middle East and North Africa (DSAME), Vice Admiral Edward Ahlgren, concluded a two-day visit to Lebanon from 14-15 October. He met with Lebanese leaders, UNIFIL Commander and visited a newly constructed Protected Border Observation Post (PBOP) on Lebanon’s eastern border with Syria.

The visit underscores the UK’s ongoing commitment to support the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) in enhancing its ability to secure Lebanon’s borders and respond swiftly to threats, including smuggling and illegal cross-border activity. The new Protected Border Observation Post is part of a broader UK Integrated Security Fund programme to strengthen Lebanon’s border infrastructure and reinforce the LAF’s operational capability including in border areas.

Vice Admiral Ahlgren held meetings with President Aoun, Speaker Berri, Defence Minister Manasa, Head of the Lebanese Army General Haykal and (UNIFIL) Force Commander General Diodato Abagnara. He was accompanied by British Ambassador to Lebanon Hamish Cowell and Defence Attaché Lt. Colonel Charles Smith.

At the end of the visit, British Ambassador Hamish Cowell said:

In our meetings we reiterated the UK’s support to the Lebanese Army in its mission to protect Lebanon’s borders and strengthen national security, including deployment in south Lebanon. The new Protected Border Observation Post on the eastern border are a tangible example of our long-standing partnership and our shared commitment to stability in Lebanon.

Vice Admiral Edward Ahlgren said:

It was a privilege to visit Lebanon again and meet with senior Lebanese leaders. The Protected Border Observation Posts we are building together are a real testament to that and it was fantastic to go and see these for myself.

The UK remains a steadfast partner in strengthening Lebanon’s security institutions and supporting the LAF’s role as the sole legitimate defender of the country’s borders.

Since 2010, the UK has also helped construct more than 82 border observation posts and forward operating bases as part of efforts to strengthen Lebanese border security. We are supporting the expanded deployment of the LAF including in southern Lebanon, reinforcing their role as the sole legitimate military force of the Lebanese state, and strengthening their resilience across the country.
Cabinet Office environmental policy statement

This statement explains how the Cabinet Office aims to support sustainable development.

In April 2013, the government published its ‘Making sustainable development a part of all government policy and operations’ policy which stated:

The government is committed to sustainable development. This means making the necessary decisions now to realise our vision of stimulating economic growth and tackling the deficit, maximizing wellbeing and protecting our environment, without affecting the ability of future generations to do the same. The government takes account of sustainable development as a part of how it develops its policies, how it runs its buildings and how it buys its goods and services.

The Cabinet Office fully supports this and aims to lead by example on this issue. Our environmental policy statement sets out how we aim to achieve this aspiration.

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 Box-it UK Limited 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 Box-it UK Limited 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
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
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.
