East West Rail safeguarding directions
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-19)

Safeguarding directions for the East West Rail project for local planning authorities.

The Secretary of State for Transport has issued updated safeguarding directions for the land required for the proposed East West Rail project, in line with updated proposals for the project published in the You Said We Did Report (https://eastwestrail.co.uk/you-said-we-did) in November 2025.

Safeguarding is a formal process undertaken by the Department for Transport that ensures the land required for major projects is protected from conflicting development. Guidance notes for the relevant local planning authorities concerning the safeguarded land have been published alongside the updated safeguarding directions.

The safeguarding directions and guidance notes stipulate that the relevant local planning authorities refer planning applications that include land within the safeguarded area to East West Rail Company for comment.

Safeguarding is a statutory mechanism, which activates statutory blight. Qualifying owner-occupiers of land or property within the safeguarded area are entitled to serve blight notices on East West Rail Company, in accordance with the provisions contained within the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1990/8/part/VI/chapter/II/crossheading/blight-notices/enacted?view=plain).

East West Rail Company has issued letters to those affected by the change to the safeguarding boundary. Further information about safeguarding and contact details for any queries can be found on the East West Rail website (https://eastwestrail.co.uk/planning/land-and-property).

Ransomware: proposals to increase incident reporting and reduce payments to criminals
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-02)

The government is consulting on proposals to reduce the threat posed by the criminal infection of computer systems with malicious 'ransomware' software.

Ransomware is malicious software (malware) that infects a victim’s computer system. A ransomware attack can:
- prevent the victim from accessing IT systems or severely impair their use
- facilitate the theft of personal or other sensitive data held on the victim’s networked systems or devices
A ransom is demanded (normally payment of cryptocurrency) from the victim to regain access to the system, for data to be restored or for confidential data not to be published on websites run by criminals.

The targets of ransomware can range from ordinary individuals using their home computers and other personal devices, to major companies and public bodies whose entire systems and networks are put under attack.

The Home Office proposes to introduce legislation to counter ransomware and meet three main objectives:
- to reduce the amount of money flowing to ransomware criminals from the UK, thereby deterring criminals from attacking UK organisations
- to increase the ability of operational agencies to disrupt and investigate ransomware actors by increasing our intelligence around the ransomware payment landscape
- to enhance the government’s understanding of the threats in this area to inform future interventions, including through cooperation at international level

Repeal of section 76B of the Mauritian Criminal Code by the National Assembly in Mauritius
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-30)

An update on repeal of section 76B of the Mauritian Criminal Code by the National Assembly in Mauritius.

On 28 October 2025, the National Assembly in Mauritius repealed section 76B of the Mauritian Criminal Code, removing the offence of ‘misrepresenting the sovereignty of Mauritius by producing, distributing, supply or marketing any coin, stamp, official map or official object or document’.

Mauritius has published an Explanatory Memorandum for this change: Criminal-Code-Amendment-No.-2-Bill.pdf (https://mauritiusassembly.govmu.org/mauritiusassembly/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Criminal-Code-Amendment-No.-2-Bill.pdf).

This offence previously applied only to ‘persons acting under the authority or instructions of, or pursuant to a contract with, or with the direct or indirect financial support of, a foreign state’, and no one was ever prosecuted for it.

We welcome repeal of section 76B and the clarity this provides.

Source: gov.uk (2025-02-27)

This page includes summaries of Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programmes in the Middle East and North Africa covering 2023 to 2024.

Programme summaries give an annual overview of each Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programme. They explain what support the CSSF provided and intended outcomes, stating:

where the programme worked

what it is trying to achieve

the budget

the programme length

They break down programme activity into individual components or projects, with details of the lead UK government department and the organisations that are implementing the programme. View further detail on the programme summary form (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/understanding-a-conflict-stability-and-security-fund-programme-summary).

The CSSF 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 are:

to protect national security interests

for the safety and security of beneficiaries, partners and partner governments

The UK Integrated Security Fund (UKISF) (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-integrated-security-fund/about) replaced the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund in April 2024.

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 Newcastle City Council 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 Newcastle City Council 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
- Armed Forces Charities
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
We also pledge the following:

Post Implementation Review of IFRS 16
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-08)

This thematic review is a post implementation review focusing on the way IFRS 16 was implemented in central government

IFRS 16 - Leases was implemented in the public sector from 1 April 2022. Implementation has been a major reporting challenge for the whole of the public sector.

This thematic review examines the implementation process for lessons applicable to introducing future standards and considers the views of preparers and users of annual reports and accounts, as well as HMT’s Financial Reporting Advisory Board.

Guidance on government financial reporting is published in the Government Financial Reporting Manual (FReM) (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/government-financial-reporting-manual-frem) which is updated for every financial year.

The Treasury also publishes application guidance providing further support on specific accounting standards.

Radioactive incident monitoring
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-04)

This series brings together all documents relating to radiological and nuclear incident monitoring.

Following the Chernobyl accident in 1986, the UK government developed a National Response Plan to ensure that any future similar emergency could be effectively managed. Under the plan the UK has a multi departmental and agency response approach. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero is the lead government department for domestic and overseas nuclear response.

The RREMS (Radiological Response and Emergency Management System) application is a key response capability within our national response and over the years has developed – both as a multi response tool and as a platform for the effective coordination of emergency response for radiological events.

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero manages RREMS on behalf of all government departments and agencies who would be involved in a radiological / nuclear incident. RREMS replaced RIMNET as the primary system in 2022, and RIMNET has subsequently been decommissioned.

RREMS has a network of fixed gamma dose rate monitoring sites across the UK, along with an additional mobile monitor network:
- the monitors automatically measure, analyse, and inform on background radiation levels 24 hours a day
- all measurement and reference data are stored in RREMS
- the system also provides an incident document management capability and a mapping capability, including the display of plume models
We publish a quarterly statistical summary of UK radiation measurement data.

Radiation Monitoring Network

The Radiation Monitoring Network is currently being upgraded, this includes retrofitting new communications equipment, replacing parts of the network and testing new types of monitors. These changes will result in increased resilience and reliability and ensure that the network remains fit for purpose in the future.

The work to complete this upgrade will take place in phases from January 2025 beginning with the oldest parts of the network. To ensure continuity of service, the rollout programme will seek to minimise system downtime and work will only be undertaken on one part of the network at a time to make sure that effective monitoring is in place at all times.
