The Ministry of Defence has no plans to consider the establishment of a Civil Defence Force at this time. Such matters would fall within the remit of the Home Office. Defence support to Government Departments or civilian authorities in the UK is undertaken via the Military Aid to the Civil Authorities (MACA) system which is the mature and well-understood process that enabled Defence to support the Government's successful response to COVID-19 over the last two years.<\/p>"}

The UK Government recognises Sri Lanka is facing its worst economic crisis since independence and the impact this is having on fuel prices and other commodities. Concurrent challenges in public finance and sovereign debt, as well as the availability and affordability of essential items like food, fertilisers, medicines and fuel, have disrupted livelihoods across the country.<\/p>
UK economic support is forthcoming through multilateral institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank (WB) and UN, as underlined by the Prime Minister when he spoke to the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, Ranil Wickremesinghe, on 30 May. The UK has the joint fifth largest share in the IMF, and is a major contributor to the UN and WB. We welcome the start of in-depth discussions with the IMF on reforms needed to bring the economy back to a sustainable path. In April, the WB agreed to provide USD$ 600 million in financial assistance and we understand there are discussions to extend this support. We also have a significant voice in international fora like the Paris club and will work on solutions to Sri Lanka's debt crisis. We continue to monitor the situation closely and will encourage a peaceful, democratic and inclusive approach to help support Sri Lanka through its economic and political challenges.<\/p>"}

Most cereals are internationally traded commodities. As a matter of course, supply chains are dynamic and responsive to global market developments in price and availability, whether those developments are driven by the weather or other global factors.<\/p>
We continue to keep the market situation under review through the UK Agriculture Market Monitoring Group, which monitors UK agricultural markets including price, supply, inputs, trade and recent developments. We have also increased our engagement with industry to supplement our analysis with real-time intelligence and to identify where mitigations are available.<\/p>
Government departments across Whitehall are working hard to find ways to resume the export of grain from Ukraine and to the countries that desperately need it. We also continue to engage with international partners in the G20 Agricultural Market Information System, the WTO and the International Grains Council to build consensus on the importance of keeping markets open and facilitate smooth functioning of the global food trade.<\/p>"}

Estimates are based on the self-reporting of ongoing symptoms by study participants rather than a clinical diagnosis. The Office for National Statistics estimates that as of 1 June 2022, 1,988,000 people living in private households in the UK were experiencing self-reported symptoms for more than four weeks and 1,437,000 people for at least 12 weeks.<\/p>"}
