DTEP funding for SCI the CHERI on the cake
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-09)

Cambridge-based SCI Semiconductors secure funding through the Defence Technology Exploitation Programme

- Cambridge-based SCI Semiconductors are the latest SME to be awarded a DTEP grant
- They are collaborating with an experienced higher-tier partner on a project to resolve a number of long standing cyber security challenges
- The Defence Technology Exploitation Programme (DTEP) boosts security and defence innovation while supporting the technology supply chain
SCI Semiconductors, a leading cyber security company based in Cambridge, are the latest SME to be awarded DTEP funding for their innovative approach to tackling the escalating problem of compromised computer integrity within military systems.

SCI are collaborating with Ultra, a higher-tier supplier who specialise in mission focused technological innovations, who will provide mentoring for the duration of the project. SCI will receive a government grant worth 50% of the project value with the aim of developing innovative new solutions that meet UK defence and security challenges.

The DTEP programme, which seeks to improve the competitiveness of the UK defence supply chain, is sponsored by the MOD’s Directorate of Industrial Strategy and Exports (DISE) and delivered through a number of partners including the Defence and Security Accelerator (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/defence-and-security-accelerator) (DASA) and Innovate UK (https://www.ukri.org/councils/innovate-uk/).

Congratulations to SCI Semiconductors

The UK has invested heavily in Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions (CHERI) systems to manage cyber defences, however gaps still exist in getting this crucial technology into real world applications (e.g. autonomous drone platforms). Through their DTEP project, SCI are working to resolve these gaps by developing high integrity, isolated hardware and software structures for a broad array of applications. This means that vital military control systems can be much safer from the risk of cyber attack.

Haydn Povey, Chief Executive of SCI Semiconductors said:

The UK government are keen to act on Security by Design and this project will leverage CHERI technology, a key technology to delivering this capability. With over 70% of critical vulnerabilities and exploits (CVE’s) directly linked to software Memory Safety issues, which form the vast majority of cyber-attacks on critical systems, there is a clear need to address this systemic weakness. This project is directly focused on ensuring communication systems and active control systems are more robust, higher integrity, and are inherently secured again broad-based cyber-attacks.

DTEP’s funding for SCI Semiconductors highlights the MOD’s commitment to fostering innovation and strengthening the UK defence and security supply chain through strategic SME partnerships.

Conflict, Stability and Security Fund: Gender, Peace and Security annual review summaries 2023 to 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-30)

This page includes 2023 to 2024 annual review summaries of Conflict, Stability and Security Fund programmes in Gender, Peace and Security.

All Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programmes are reviewed carefully each year. These reviews assess:
- technical and programme management standards including financial and risk management, value for money, conflict and gender sensitivity
- contextual factors such as changes to the political environment
- the outputs and outcomes during the year
Lessons learned are also identified.

An expert team conducts these reviews and include at least one team member who is independent from the programme. The team assesses at 2 levels: output (the direct result of programme activities) and outcome (the changes that these outputs deliver). Assessment scores are on a scale of 4, where outputs or outcomes meet or exceed expectations, to 1, where most targets were not met.

The CSSF team aims to publish information for all programmes. However, because some of the CSSF’s work is very sensitive, we cannot publish details of all programmes. The 2 main reasons for this are:
- to protect national security
- for the safety and security of beneficiaries, partners and partner governments

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 Military Training Academy 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts

A declaration to the customs warehousing procedure may be amended when it can be shown that the particulars shown on the declaration are incorrect or incomplete.

Para. 15 & 16, TCTA 2018952/13 Article 173 Council Delegated Regulation 2015/2446 Article 148 for NI

If the warehouse keeper/depositor identifies a shortage in the goods received compared to those actually entered on the declaration the supervising office must be notified within 14 days of the date of entry to the procedure. It is the responsibility of the warehouse keeper to provide clear documentary evidence that the goods short on receipt were not entered to the customs warehouse procedure. For example, due the goods not fitting in the container when packed, the wrong invoice being sent with the goods by the supplier or an agent error in completion of the import documentation.

The supervising office should consider the evidence provided as a matter of urgency and, if it is established that the goods were not received the declaration must be amended to show the correct details. If the evidence provided is not considered to be satisfactory, the original declaration will require amendment and an additional declaration will be necessary entering the shortage to free circulation (using the procedure appropriate to un-entered goods) and customs duty/import VAT will be due (as for a normal free circulation entry).

Continuing the Warm Home Discount Scheme
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-30)

We're seeking views on the design of the Warm Home Discount scheme from winter 2026 to 2027 to 2030 to 2031.

The Warm Home Discount Scheme (https://www.gov.uk/the-warm-home-discount-scheme) has been a key policy in the government’s approach to tackling fuel poverty and reducing the energy costs of low-income and vulnerable households ever since its inception in 2011.

This consultation aims to secure the continuation of support for around 6 million households for winter 2026 to 2027, and into the next scheme period, after current regulations expire on 31 March 2026.

This consultation sets out the government’s proposals for the new scheme period and is gathering feedback from stakeholders on:
- the design of the core elements of the scheme
- options for the next scheme period in Scotland
- proposals to change the administration of the scheme
- a call for evidence on Industry Initiatives
- a call for suggestions for future improvements during the next scheme period
We are seeking views particularly from energy suppliers, Warm Home Discount recipients, and consumer groups and charities with an interest in fuel poverty to inform the design of the new scheme period from winter 2026 to 2027.

TRA launches new imports dashboard
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-11)

The Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has launched an interactive dashboard to help stakeholders explore UK import data.

The Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has introduced a new imports dashboard that makes trade data clearer and easier to use.

The interactive dashboard shows trends in UK imports for goods affected by anti-dumping and countervailing measures. It draws on official HMRC overseas trade statistics and provides a simple, visual way to track import patterns over time.

This tool supports the TRA’s ongoing monitoring and investigations, giving businesses, policymakers and other stakeholders accessible insights into the impact of trade remedies.

Apply for a certificate to register a light obstruction notice
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)

Use this guide if you want to apply to the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) for a certificate to register a light obstruction notice.

The guidance explains:
- what a right of light and a light obstruction notice are
- when a light obstruction notice is needed
- the application process for a light obstruction notice
- what fees you will need to pay
- the role of the tribunal
This guidance is not about protecting a right of light. The Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) does not deal with this part of the process.

If someone is applying for a light obstruction notice that affects a building you own, you may have the right to object to the application. You must submit your challenge at either your local county court or the High Court (https://www.gov.uk/find-court-tribunal).

If you are told about an application, or if building works start, that you believe will affect your existing right of light, you should seek legal advice (https://www.gov.uk/find-legal-advice).
