E4 statement on the situation in the West Bank

Joint statement on behalf of France, Germany, Italy and the UK on the situation in the West Bank

We – France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom – strongly condemn the massive increase of settler violence against Palestinian civilians and call for stability in the West Bank. Destabilising activity risks undermining the success of the 20 Point Plan for Gaza and prospects for long-term peace and security.

The number of attacks has reached new heights, with 264 attacks in October according to OCHA, the largest number of settlers’ attacks in a single month since the United Nations began recording such incidents in 2006.

These attacks must stop. They sow terror among civilians, they are harmful to the ongoing peace efforts and for the lasting security of the State of Israel itself.

We, ministers of France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom, call on the Government of Israel to abide by its obligations under international law and protect the Palestinian population of the occupied territories. The condemnation of violence by President Herzog, Prime Minister Netanyahu, and other senior political and military figures must be translated into action. We therefore urge the Government of Israel to hold those accountable who are responsible for those crimes and to prevent further violence by addressing the root causes of this behaviour.

We welcome President Trump’s clear opposition to annexation, and reiterate our opposition to any form of annexation - whether partial, total or de facto – and settlement policies violating international law.

After the official approval of the E1 settlement in August 2025, that would fragment the West Bank, more than 3000 house units’ projects have been approved over the last three weeks, mounting to 28 000 new housing units approved since January, an all-time high. We call upon the Government of Israel to reverse its policy.

The Government of Israel’s continued denial of tax revenues which belong to the Palestinian Authority is unjustifiable. The Government of Israel must release the tax-revenues, extend the correspondent banking system between Israeli and Palestinian banks and allow increased Shekel transfers. These steps are essential for the Palestinian citizens and the PA’s ability to provide public services. Weakening the PA undermines its ability to deliver its reform agenda and to take on responsibility in Gaza, as envisioned in UN Security Council Resolution 2803. A financial collapse of the PA would only harm regional stability and the security of Israel itself.

We reaffirm our commitment to a just and comprehensive resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, based on the two-state solution, with the State of Israel and an independent, democratic, contiguous, sovereign, and viable State of Palestine, living side by side in peace and security and mutual recognition. We reaffirm that there is no alternative to a negotiated two-state solution.

Information on the average annual earnings of high level staff groups across the NHS in England.

As expected with provisional statistics, some figures may be revised from month to month as issues are uncovered and resolved.

No refreshes of the provisional data will take place either as part of the regular publication process, or where minor enhancements to the methodology have an insignificant impact on the figures at a national level. However, the provisional status allows for this to occur if it is determined that a refresh of data is required subsequent to initial release.

Where a refresh of data occurs, it will be clearly documented in the publications.

Trek Therapy
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-10)

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 Trek Therapy 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 Trek Therapy 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
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
We also pledge the following:

Advocate: we will advocate the needs of the armed forces community, and their families, as part of our service values and charitable purpose.

2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

COM101001 - Penalties: penalty determinations: introduction
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-15)


Where penalties are incurred they are charged under Paragraphs 17 and 18 Schedule 18 Finance Act (FA) 1998.

Penalty determinations may be issued automatically by COTAX or manually using function PPEN (Prepare Penalty Determinations).

The amount of the penalty depends on the date that the company delivers the return.

Penalties are defined in Paragraphs 17 and 18 Schedule 18 FA 1998, as flat-rate and tax-related.

You make the determinations under Section 100 (S100) Taxes Management Act (TMA) 1970 for failure to make a return in response to a notice to deliver.

The notice of determination served on the company must state the date of issue and the time limit for making an appeal.

You can use function DAPD (Display AP Details) to view the details that COTAX used to calculate a flat-rate or tax-related penalty.

These details include the:
- filing date
- revised or deferred filing dates
- date of receipt of the return
You can also use function DPEN (Display Penalty Determination) to view the details of any penalty determination issued.

A penalty determined under S100 TMA 1970 is due and payable 30 days after the date of issue of the notice.

Once a penalty determination has become final and conclusive, it can only be amended when you accept a late appeal or under S100(6) TMA 1970, where the amount ‘taken into account as the relevant amount of tax is or has become excessive’.

When the tax charge is reduced and the CT chargeable forms the basis for a tax-related penalty determination, COTAX automatically recalculates and issues the amended tax-related determination.

COTAX provides support for late-filing penalties only. It does not cater for other types of penalties, such as those which may be due if a company fails to give notice of chargeability under Paragraph 2 Schedule 18 FA 98.
Company insolvencies, August 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-19)

Monthly tables and commentary on the numbers, rates and sectors of companies that have entered formal insolvency procedures in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

- The number of registered company insolvencies in England and Wales was 2,048 in August 2025, 2% lower than in July 2025 (2,083) and 6% higher than the same month in the previous year (1,933 in August 2024). Monthly company insolvency numbers in the first eight months of 2025 were slightly higher than in 2024 and at a similar level to 2023, which saw a 30-year high annual number of insolvencies.
- Company insolvencies in August 2025 consisted of 311 compulsory liquidations, 1,600 creditors’ voluntary liquidations (CVLs), 121 administrations and 16 company voluntary arrangements (CVAs). There were no receivership appointments. The number of compulsory liquidations was 9% lower than in July 2025 and was also lower than the 2025 monthly average to date, although higher than monthly numbers in 2024. The number of CVLs in August 2025 was similar to both July 2025 and the 2024 monthly average. Administrations were lower than in July 2025, while CVAs were higher.
- One in 190 companies on the Companies House effective register (at a rate of 52.6 per 10,000 companies) entered insolvency between 1 September 2024 and 31 August 2025. This was a decrease from the 55.5 per 10,000 companies that entered insolvency in the 12 months ending 31 August 2024. Insolvency rates are calculated on a 12-month rolling basis as a proportion of the total number of companies on the effective register. The 12-month rolling rates show longer term trends and reduce the volatility associated with estimates based on single months.
- While the insolvency rate has increased since the lows seen in 2020 and 2021, it remains much lower than the peak of 113.1 per 10,000 companies seen during the 2008-09 recession. This is because the number of companies on the effective register has more than doubled over this period.

Independent review of physician associates and anaesthesia associates: survey of healthcare professionals
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-16)

The Leng review is seeking views from healthcare professionals to understand the day-to-day practice of AAs and PAs, and the development of these roles.

There has been a minor change to the wording of one question. Survey responses given before 10 March will still be considered in the Leng review.

We have updated the descriptive text in the ‘Day-to-day practice of physician/anaesthesia associates’ sections of the online survey to clarify that the questions apply to both frequency of current practice and appropriateness for future practice.

The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has established an independent review of the physician associate (PA) and anaesthesia associate (AA) professions to:
- consider the safety of the roles and their contribution to multidisciplinary healthcare teams
- make recommendations to inform future government policy
The conclusions of the review will help to inform the refreshed workforce plan that the government has committed to publish in summer 2025.

This survey of healthcare professionals is targeted at AAs, PAs and those that work with them. The 2 roles are considered separately and respondents will be asked to choose the role most relevant to them when responding. It is one part of a multi-method approach to evidence gathering.

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

- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;

- Armed Forces Friendly

- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- UK Reservists
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

The Prime Minister spoke to His Royal Highness Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia this afternoon.

Discussing the appalling humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the Prime Minister set out the work the UK is doing to improve the situation on the ground while continuing to press for a ceasefire. He said that Israel must urgently lift its restrictions on aid and Hamas must immediately and unconditionally release all hostages.

The Prime Minister shared progress on his work with allies on a long-term plan for peace to pave the way for lasting security in the region, including plans to ensure there is no role for Hamas in the future governance of Gaza.

The leaders resolved to continue to work closely together to preserve the prospect of a two-state solution, which they reaffirmed was the only way to guarantee peace and security for Palestinians and Israelis.

They agreed to stay in touch.
MTT21260 - Calculating the effective tax rate: Adjusted profits: Stock-based compensation election
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


A group may elect to adjust the amount of stock-based compensation that is included in the adjusted profits for the members in the territory subject to the election.

Where an election is made, the amount of any expense for stock-based compensation in the underlying profits of a member in the territory will be substituted for the amount that was allowed as a deduction for tax purposes for the same expense.

In some cases, an expense reflected in the adjusted profits in a previous period needs to be reversed as the result of the application of the election to an expense. The reversal is achieved by an adjustment in the current period that increases the adjusted profits.

This election is a long-term election. See MTT52200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt52200) for guidance on making elections.

This election is set out in section 162 of Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

Expense arising from an expiring option

A reversal of an expense is required where, as a result of a stock-based compensation election, an expense in relation to stock-based compensation is reflected in the adjusted profits of a member and that option subsequently expires without exercise.

An adjustment must be made to increase the member’s adjusted profits for the accounting period in which the option expires. This is the case regardless of whether the election still applies for that period.

The amount of the increase will be the amount relating to that expense that had been included as an expense in the adjusted profits in a previous period.

Expense recorded prior to election

A reversal of an expense is required where some expenses in respect of stock-based compensation (the “pre-election expenses”) were recorded in the member’s underlying profits in a period prior to the election having effect, and the sum of the pre-election expenses is greater than what the sum would have been had the election applied to those expenses.

The excess pre-election expenses must be included in the adjusted profits of the member as if it were income. They are to be included in the first period in which an adjustment is made, as a result of the election, in respect of the amount of stock-based compensation.

Election revoked before all stock-based compensation fully paid

A reversal of an expense is required where:
- the underlying profits of a member are adjusted as a result of a stock-based compensation election,
- the election is revoked before all of the stock-based compensation has been paid, and
- the sum of expenses reflected in the adjusted profits as a result of the election is greater than the sum of the financial account expense accrued that has been paid by the last day of the last period for which the election applies.
The excess expenses must be included in the adjusted profits of the member as if it were income. They are to be included in the first accounting period for which the election does not apply.
