Diagnoses of Shigella flexneri in the United Kingdom (UK) are usually travel-related. However, since 2009, there has been an overall increase in UK-acquired cases. The Health Protection Agency has been investigating a national outbreak of S. flexneri detected in 2011 and which is still ongoing. Cases occurred mostly in men who have sex with men and were of serotype 3a. The investigation aimed at obtaining epidemiological data to inform targeted outbreak management and control.

The meeting was preceded by a one day European conference on syphilis outbreaks (advances in surveillance, diagnosis and management), also at CDSC, at which several European collaborators gave presentations on recent national syphilis outbreaks.

Until 2019, TBE was considered only to be an imported disease to the United Kingdom. In that year, evidence became available that the TBEV is likely circulating in the country1,2 and a first “probable case” of TBE originating in the UK was reported.3 In addition to TBEV, louping ill virus (LIV), a member of the TBEV-serocomplex, is also endemic in parts of the UK. Reports of clinical disease caused by LIV in livestock are mainly from Scotland, parts of North and South West England and Wales.4

In Agricultral Statistics, United Kingdom, 1974, the area of land devoted to vegetables grown in the open for human consumption is given as 187 500 ha. This amounted to some 4% of the tillage land in the UK, and along with similar areas of sugar beet and maincrop potatoes would appear to offer significant scope for the utilization of associated by-products as feed for livestock. The range of such crops produced in the UK is quite wide, but climatic and market pressures will influence actual cropping from year to year. Relevant details for the United Kingdom are set out in Table 1, and it will be seen that in 1974 England and Wales accounted for 95, 78 and 100%, respectively, of the areas of outdoor vegetables, maincrop potatoes and sugar beet grown in the UK. In the following, therefore, the discussion will be concentrated on the problems of production and distribution of vegetable and arable by-products. Similar problems of distribution will no doubt occur in other countries as well.

During an ongoing investigation into a nosocomial outbreak of S. Enteritidis PT 6a (Nx, CpL) in London, where raw shell eggs were being used, the London Food, Water and Environmental Microbiology Laboratory (LFWE) tested 402 raw shell eggs obtained from the premises. Two hundred and forty of these were labelled as imported, and four of the 40 samples of six pooled whole eggs were positive. The Laboratory of Enteric Pathogens (LEP) at the Public Health Laboratory Service Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre (PHLS CDSC) confirmed the presence of S. Enteritidis PT 6 (one sample), S. Enteritidis PT 13a (one sample) and S. Enteritidis PT 14b (one sample). Of the 27 samples from the unlabelled eggs (162 eggs) one sample was positive for S. Enteritidis PT 6. Results are awaited on the final isolate. Since the raw eggs have been withdrawn from use no further cases have occurred. Hospitals in the United Kingdom are reminded that advice issued by the Chief Medical Officer in 1988 that raw shell eggs should be replaced with pasteurised eggs in recipes in institutions with high risk groups (1) is extant and must be adhered to if vulnerable patients are not to be put at risk.

This chapter sets out who can apply for a winding-up order and when a winding-up order can be made where a company is already subject to an insolvency procedure. This chapter discusses the insolvency procedures under the law of England and Wales, other parts of the United Kingdom and outside the UK. A supervisor of a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) approved under IA 1986, part 1, may petition for the compulsory winding up of the company, and the court may appoint the supervisor to be liquidator of the company. IA 1986, part 1, is applied with modifications to building societies by the Building Societies Act 1986. When a company is in administration, no petition for it to be wound up may be presented without the administrator’s consent or the court’s permission, unless it is presented for the purpose of proceedings under the default rules of a recognized body in a financial market.

This chapter reviews developments leading to the enactment of the 2015 Modern Slavery Act in England and Wales and parallel legislation in Northern Ireland and Scotland. It analyses the response of the UK government to growing pressure for legislation, and the failings of the actual legislation put in place, including a comparison with some key elements in its Scottish and Northern Irish counterparts. Despite claims to be world-leading, the Modern Slavery Act has already been found to be deficient in many key areas such as continuing protection for victims and linking slavery and immigration legislation, and is considered to be in need of substantial reform.
