answer text <p>People form the core of our Defence capability and we recognise the urgent need to transform the way we support all Defence’s people and their families, from recruitment through to retirement and beyond.​ The new Government has met with Rick Haythornthwaite to explain our approach and emphasise our commitment to meeting the challenges set out in his generational review. The publication of a formal response to the report is now a priority.</p><p>The core principles and recommendations of the review will be central to the recently launched Strategic Defence Review. This will require a new and novel approach to determining the requirements for the UK’s Defence and the recommendations within the Haythornthwaite Review of UK Armed Forces Incentivisation (HRAFI) are already shaping how we deliver this.</p><p>As a core principle of the HRAFI report, the importance of developing a ‘People Value Proposition’ approach is fully accepted. Consequently, work is underway to map and articulate the ‘whole’ landscape of tangible and intangible elements of the ‘Offer’, ‘Reward’ and ‘Fulfilment’. Housing and Welfare are part of this work, as are all other areas that influence how valued and supported our people and their families feel.</p>

answer text <p>The Foreign Secretary called UNRWA Commissioner General Lazzarini on 19 July to discuss the reinstatement of UK funding. Development Minister Anneliese Dodds also met with Lazzarini following the announcement on 19 July. They discussed how the UK's £21 million of new funding will support UNRWA's lifesaving work in Gaza and the provision of basic services in the region. We also condemned the killing of almost 200 UNRWA workers in the conflict. The Foreign Secretary also spoke with UNRWA Gaza Director Scott Anderson on 15 July during his visit to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. They also discussed the need for further protection of civilians in Gaza.</p> more like this
