Background

Becton Dickinson UK Ltd has informed the MHRA that some units exhibit an open seal on the packaging of the applicator. This issue is linked to the previous Class 2 Medicines Notification EL(25)A/22.

Quarterly bus fares statistics: April to June 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-30)

Local bus fares statistics in Great Britain for April to June 2025.

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 us (#contact) with any comments about how we meet these standards.

Quarterly bus fares revisions

As part of this release, we have made minor revisions to the bus fares data following a detailed review of the processing methodology.

This review led to small improvements in how the data are processed and weighted, helping to ensure the statistics remain robust and reflective of the latest available information. These updates have been made to enhance accuracy and consistency. The overall impact on the published figures is minimal and mostly noticeable at more granular geographic levels, such as in Wales. The overall trends in bus fares remain unchanged.

We remain committed to maintaining high standards of data quality and transparency. Further details on the methodology and revisions are available in the accompanying technical documentation.

Statistics on local bus fares in Great Britain

The local bus fares index increased by 15.9% in England outside London between June 2024 and June 2025. This period covers the introduction of the £3 fare cap in England from 1 January 2025, which has led to a larger change than previous quarters.

For other areas, the local bus fares index change between June 2024 and June 2025 was:
- 0.0% increase in London
- 14.0% increase in metropolitan areas
- 17.0% increase in non-metropolitan areas
- 9.8% increase in Scotland
- 11.9% increase in Wales
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 3.6% over the same 12-month period.

(Commission Delegated Regulation EU 2015/2446 Article 180 and Annex 71-03 for NI)

In general the criteria to be applied are that an operation is allowable if it does not:
- change the nature of the goods, or
- improve the performance of the original goods
- is not for the sole purpose of increasing the value of the goods, and
- is a relatively limited operation, for example, the original import goods have been manufactured with the provision for the addition of components, that is fittings/connections/electrics already in place or pre-cut/pre-marked apertures.
Authorisations for the operation of storage facilities may be granted in cases where the intended UFH would predominate over the storage of the goods.

The list in Annex 71-03 is exhaustive. You must not approve any forms of handling that are not listed in the guidance (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-if-you-can-carry-out-simple-repairs-or-process-your-goods-in-a-customs-warehouse).

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 Centre for Military Justice 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 Centre for Military Justice 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
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.

IP should not be authorised where the intention is to release goods to free circulation. Diversion of IP goods to Authorised Use may however be approved, provided it is not a regular or normal method of disposal, for example, where an export order has been cancelled.

In these circumstances, if the IP goods being diverted are eligible for Authorised Use, subject to being put to a use for a prescribed purpose, duty on diversion can be calculated at the Authorised Use rate provided, at the time of release, the trader holds an Authorised Use authorisation or is applying for one and all the conditions for granting Authorised Use are satisfied. The goods entered to IP at the time of import must have been eligible for Authorised Use.

Any duty due will be calculated at the Authorised Use rate of duty on the value of the goods at import.

Note: Northern Ireland (NI) customs authorisations will continue to fall within the provisions of the Union Customs Code (UCC), as retained by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and CEMA 1979.

Evaluation of the Social Enterprise Boost Fund
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-11)

Process, impact and value for money evaluation of the Social Enterprise Boost Fund, an up to £5.1m fund to accelerate social enterprise activity in disadvantaged areas.

The Social Enterprise Boost Fund is an up to £5.1 million package of funding to kickstart and accelerate social enterprise activity in four disadvantaged areas of England. This is being delivered through a combination of capacity building and onward grants to support local social entrepreneurs. The Boost Fund started in March 2023 and was originally scheduled to end in March 2025. In March 2025, the Fund was extended for another year into 25/26.

This evaluation, conducted by RSM UK, only covers delivery until March 2025.

The evaluation examined the design, set-up, and delivery of the Boost Fund, as well as the Fund’s outcomes and impacts on social entrepreneurs, and their perceived impact on their local communities. It found that the Fund:
- improved the skills, knowledge, confidence, and resilience of social entrepreneurs;
- supported the creation of new social enterprises and boosted early-stage social enterprises;
- strengthened local networks and partnerships that support social enterprises;
- increased social enterprises’ perceived ability to support communities in their target areas;
- showed what works to support social enterprises;
- demonstrated value for money, with unit costs of the business support at the lower end of the spectrum compared to other government-funded programmes.

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 National Care Group 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 National Care Group 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
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.
