TRA Imports Dashboard
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-11)

This interactive dashboard tracks imports of goods subject to UK trade remedies, including those still under investigation.

About the TRA

The Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/trade-remedies-authority) is an Arms-Length Body of the Department for Business and Trade. The TRA investigates allegations of unfair international trade practices which are harming UK producers, as well as unforeseen surges of imports. It does this to establish whether measures should be put in place to address the injury caused, normally in the form of duties.

About the dashboard

This dashboard summarises monthly UK imports data sourced from HMRC, Overseas Trade in Goods Statistics (https://www.uktradeinfo.com/trade-data/). It provides insights into goods imported into the UK that have been, or are currently subject to investigation by the TRA, allowing users to monitor trends and analyse data relevant to our specific cases.

This dashboard exclusively covers goods subject to anti-dumping measures and countervailing measures (https://www.trade-remedies.service.gov.uk/public/cases/), but it does not cover goods that are subject to safeguard measures.

Structure of the dashboard

The dashboard consists of the following pages:

The homepage provides an introduction and high-level overview of the dashboard

Countries page presents an overview of the countries subject to UK trade remedy measures, along with the type of trade remedy and the specific commodities involved in each case.

Investigations page presents an overview of UK anti-dumping and subsidy investigations, highlighting trends in import values before, during and after the lifecycle of each case.

AAIB investigation to ATR 72-212 A, G-CMJM

Right nosewheel detached on takeoff, on departure from Edinburgh Airport, 31 October 2023

Whilst taking off from Edinburgh Airport the right wheel from the nose leg gear detached from the aircraft. The detachment was not observed by the airfield operations department and the flight crew were unaware of the loss of the wheel. They continued the flight and landed at Belfast City Airport without any abnormal indications or adverse aircraft performance. The wheel was first noticed missing as the aircraft taxied onto stand at Belfast. A failure of the wheel axle caused by bearing overheat was identified as the cause of the wheel detachment. A number of potential contributing factors were identified, but the cause of the bearing overheat could not be positively determined.

The United Kingdom is fully committed to supporting efforts to address insecurity in Haiti: UK Explanation of Vote at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-30)

UK Explanation of Vote delivered by Ambassador James Kariuki, UK Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, following the UN Security Council vote on the Gang Suppression Force and UN Support Office in Haiti.

The United Kingdom is fully committed to supporting efforts to address insecurity in Haiti and to alleviate the suffering of the Haitian people.

We unequivocally condemn the use of sexual and gender-based violence by armed gangs as a tool of control and coercion.

And with this in mind, the UK voted in favour of this resolution.

We hope that the Gang Suppression Force can bring about the security and stability that the Haitian people deserve.

This will create the conditions required for free and fair elections that are vital to securing Haiti’s long-term stability and the rights and freedoms of its people.

Continued coherence between political and security interventions will be essential for our collective efforts to tackle Haiti’s challenges.

We are pleased that the resolution will build upon the human rights compliance framework established in the Multinational Security Support Mission.

Colleagues, this collective demonstration of support for Haiti reflects the vital and irreplaceable role that this Council continues to play in supporting international peace and security.

Be it in Haiti or Colombia or Somalia, the Council must continue to shoulder its responsibilities.

President, we commend the United States and Panama for the leadership shown in bringing this important resolution forward, and we pay tribute to Kenya and other members of the MSS for so bravely leading efforts on the ground over the past two years.

Such action reflects the unique value of multilateral cooperation at a time when Haiti needs it most.

Community Life Survey: January to March 2025 quarterly publication
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-10)

The results of the January to March 2025 quarter of the Community Life Survey.

The Community Life Survey (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/community-life-survey--2) is a nationally representative annual survey of adults (16+) in England that tracks the latest trends and developments across areas related to social action and empowering communities. Data collection on the Community Life Survey commenced in 2012/13 using a face-to-face format. During the survey years from 2013/14 to 2015/16 a push-to-web format was tested, which included collecting online/paper data alongside the face-to-face data, before moving fully to a push-to-web format in 2016/17. The results included in this release are based on online/paper completes only.

Released: 10 December 2025

Period covered: January to March 2025

Geographic coverage: National level data for England

For the 2023/24 and 2024/25 survey years, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) partnered with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) to boost the Community Life Survey to be able to produce meaningful estimates at Local Authority level. This has enabled us to have the most granular data we have ever had. The questionnaire for 2024/25 has been developed collaboratively to adapt to the needs and interests of both DCMS and MHCLG, including some new questions and changes to existing questions, response options and definitions in the 23/24 and 24/25 surveys.

Fieldwork for 2024/25 was delivered over two quarters (October – December 2024 and January – March 2025) in line with the 2023/24 survey. As such there are two quarterly publications in 2024/25, in addition to the annual publication. The quarterly releases contain headline findings only and do not contain geographical or demographic breakdowns – this detail will be published through the 2024/25 annual publication, published concurrently with this release.

The pre-release access list above contains the ministers and officials who have received privileged early access to this release of Community Life Survey data. In line with best-practice, the list has been kept to a minimum and those given access for briefing purposes had a maximum of 24 hours. Details on the pre-release access arrangements for this dataset are available in the accompanying material.

TRA proposes keeping measures on organic coated steel from China
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-25)

The TRA has recommended extending anti-dumping and countervailing measures on organic coated steel imported from China until 2029.

The Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has today (Tuesday 25 February) published initial findings, proposing that anti-dumping (https://www.trade-remedies.service.gov.uk/public/case/TD0054/submission/6e37547e-a124-444f-904a-bfe59540d9b0/) and countervailing (https://www.trade-remedies.service.gov.uk/public/case/TS0055/submission/3a7e20e9-b276-4557-b9ec-aae60f0e8539/) measures on organic coated steel (OCS) imported from China be maintained for an additional five years, until May 4, 2029.

In its Statements of Essential Facts (SEF), the TRA found that dumping and subsidisation would likely recur if the measures were removed, potentially causing injury to UK industry. The measures have been largely effective, usually keeping Chinese imports below 1,000 tonnes annually since 2013. Tata Steel UK (TSUK) is the sole producer of OCS in the UK, manufacturing it at the Shotton facility in North Wales. TSUK contributes approximately £222 million to the UK economy annually, including sales of OCS, and employs around 8,100 people across all its operations.

OCS is used to maintain the durability of various structures, especially in the construction industry, as well as in metal furniture, heating and ventilation ducting and casings and in several domestic appliances.

Current anti-dumping duties on Chinese OCS imports range from 5.9% to 26.1% while countervailing duties range from 13.7% to 44.7%, depending on the exporter.

Businesses that may be affected by these findings can submit comments to the TRA by 18 March 2025 and can do so through the TRA’s public file (https://www.trade-remedies.service.gov.uk/accounts/login/).

Notes to editors

The Trade Remedies Authority is the UK body that investigates whether new trade remedy measures are needed to counter unfair import practices and unforeseen surges of imports.

Trade remedy investigations were carried out by the EU Commission on the UK’s behalf until the UK left the EU. A number of EU trade remedy measures of interest to UK producers were carried across into UK law when the UK left the EU and the TRA has been reviewing these to assess whether they are suitable for UK needs.

Anti-dumping duties allow a country or union to act against goods which are being sold at less than their normal value – this is defined as the price for ‘like goods’ sold in the exporter’s home market.

Countervailing, or subsidy duties counteract imports being subsidised by their place of origin that cause material injury to a domestic industry.

This transition review was initiated on 15 April 2024, examining data from the period 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024, with injury assessment covering 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2024.

The Statement of Essential Facts (SEF) represents the TRA’s interim findings. All interested parties can submit comments before the TRA makes its final recommendation to the Secretary of State for Business and Trade.

1. Priorities for alcohol treatment and recovery from the experts through experience group
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-28)

Experts through experience identified their priorities for providing high quality alcohol treatment and recovery. They emphasised the importance of personalised, non-judgemental treatment within a recovery-oriented system of care.

A group of experts through experience contributed to the development of these clinical guidelines. Group members had experience of alcohol treatment and recovery and were active in recovery organisations. The group’s input is integrated throughout the guidelines.

The group identified the following themes as priorities for providing high quality alcohol treatment and recovery.

Alcohol treatment should take place in the context of a recovery-oriented system of care where clinicians, support staff, people with lived and living experience and people engaged in treatment all have roles to play.

People should be able to access personalised care from any part of the treatment and recovery system.

A non-judgemental, empathic approach and staff working together with people in treatment is essential.

People with lived experience and recovery communities can play a central role in supporting recovery at all stages of the treatment and recovery journey.

Individual treatment and recovery plans should include flexible recovery goals from the start, and the focus on recovery-oriented activities will increase during treatment and after they leave.

Alcohol treatment services and mental health services need to work together so people with problem alcohol use who also have mental health conditions do not get turned away. People should be able to get help for both conditions in a shared approach.

Services need to engage and support people from diverse communities. They should co-produce service plans with diverse communities and work flexibly in a culturally sensitive way to do this.

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 Risk Contained Ltd 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 Risk Contained Ltd 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
- Discounts
- 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.
