FCDO Services spend over £25,000, October 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-09)

FCDO Services spend in the UK for transactions totalling over £25,000 by month.

The government is committed to publishing departmental spend over £25,000 as part of its commitment to transparency and open government. This is the FCDO Services spend in the UK for transactions totalling over £25,000 published by month. Transactions that appear to be under £25,000 are due to the transaction being over £25,000 before removing recoverable VAT, or where an invoice over £25,000 has been split between multiple expense types, and/or expense areas. We have published our spend in line with Cabinet Office guidelines which allow for data protection of individuals and security constraints.

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 LearnPlay Foundation 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 LearnPlay Foundation 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 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.

Text of chapter 25 of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and India.

This chapter contains a number of transparency principles that are mutually beneficial and aim to make relevant information open and available to the users of the agreement. This will enable businesses and other stakeholders to utilise the agreement with ease, and therefore access the opportunities created by it.

The agreement is not yet in force. Both the UK and India are required to complete their respective domestic procedures for the agreement to come into effect. Once ratified by both countries, businesses will be able to trade under its terms.
Hybrid Working Accommodation Trial survey

Survey to understand Service personnel experiences of Hybrid Working Accommodation.

The Hybrid Working Accommodation Trial (HWAT) was launched in 2021 to create a new accommodation option for those who choose to hybrid work. The aim of HWAT is to allow Service personnel (SP) to work flexibly between their duty station and another property (family home, owned accommodation) to create a good work-life balance.

MOD designed a survey to understand Service personnel experiences of HWAT, whether it enables operational effectiveness and meets Service personnel’s needs. The results of this research will help MOD shape decisions on the future design of hybrid working accommodation policy.

The research report contains the research objectives, methodology and findings.

River Thames: distances and measurements for boaters
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-07)

Distances between locks on the River Thames and measurements restricting navigation.

If you are planning to boat on the River Thames, you may also find our locks and facilities for boaters (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/river-thames-locks-and-facilities-for-boaters) page useful.

Distances and travel times between locks

The following table lists the distances between locks from Cricklade Bridge downstream to Teddington Lock. It also gives an estimated travel time based on the speed limit of 8 kilometres per hour (approximately 5 miles per hour).

Bridge heights

The following table gives the headway of bridges over the River Thames. This is the distance between the standard water level and the highest point of the underside of the bridge.

These distances are approximate. Remember that river levels fluctuate and these distances will change with the river conditions.

The central arch at Temple bridge is currently closed for navigation. Boaters are to navigate with extreme caution using adjacent arches. Please see our Temple Bridge safety works 2024: river restriction notice (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/temple-bridge-safety-works-2024-river-restriction-notice) for more guidance.

Maximum drafts

The River Thames varies in depth of water between Cricklade and Teddington.

Sometimes, parts of the River Thames between Cricklade and Inglesham are only navigable by small boats. Downstream of Lechlade, the navigation channel is normally available for boats of the following approximate drafts.

Lock sizes

The following tables list the dimensions of the locks on the River Thames. The first table gives the sizes in metres and the second table uses feet and inches.

Lock sizes: Metres

Boulters Lock tail gates on the pedestal side do not open fully. Width of the tail gates is restricted to no more than 5.1 metres (17’)

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 Keyzo IT Solutions 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 Keyzo IT Solutions 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
- 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.

Project ADDER: Impact evaluation
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-12)

This report presents the findings from the impact evaluation of Project ADDER, and shares case study examples of impact from local area projects.

Project ADDER aims to promote an intensive whole systems approach (WSA) to tackling drug use and its consequences. The Home Office commissioned Verian to conduct an independent evaluation of Project ADDER involving a scoping phase to develop theories of change and an evaluation framework; a process evaluation, to understand the facilitators of and barriers to implementation; and an impact evaluation, to measure whether the intended effects have been achieved.

This report presents the findings from the impact evaluation of Project ADDER. The impact evaluation found that in the first 2 years of the programme, seizures, arrests of high-harm individuals, and referrals to treatment from CJS pathways had all increased and this was likely due to the programme. However, the evaluation highlighted a lack of impact on the number of people entering treatment for opiate problems (which has been reflected in all areas of the country over the same time period) and that impacts like reductions in crime and deaths have not yet materialised. The evaluation noted longer-term programme impacts such as these are likely to take longer to materialise and should be expected in future if certain elements, particularly the needed increase in opiate treatment, are addressed.

Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) statistics 2024: Fifth provisional release
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-14)

Supply of renewable fuels for January to December 2024.

These statistics were previously called Renewable fuel statistics and have been renamed to Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) statistics as of February 2025, due to the publication of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) Mandate statistics (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/sustainable-aviation-fuel-saf-mandate-2025-first-provisional). The previous renewable fuel statistics can still be accessed from their old URLs.

Statistics on the supply of renewable road transport and non-road mobile machinery fuels, reported under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) for 2024, based on data available as of 29 July 2025.

This is the fifth of 5 provisional reports for 2024 and contains an incomplete dataset for the year. Following all 5 provisional reports, the complete and finalised dataset will be published in November 2025 alongside the final report for 2024.

The report and accompanying tables include information on the:
- amount of UK road transport fuel from renewable and fossil fuel
- number of Renewable Transport Fuel Certificates (RTFCs) which have been issued to fuel meeting the sustainability requirements
- balance of RTFCs by obligation period
- trades of RTFCs between suppliers and traders
- carbon and sustainability characteristics of the renewable fuel to which RTFCs have been issued
- voluntary scheme data of renewable transport fuel
For more details, see the notes and definitions (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/renewable-fuel-statistics-information).

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 with any comments about how we meet these standards.
