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 Progressive Pathways Ltd 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;

Sixteen people recognised by His Majesty’s Lord- Lieutenant of Gwent
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-03)

The efforts of 16 people, including 3 young cadets from across Gwent have been recognised by the King’s representative for the county.

In recognition of their outstanding service and devotion to duty, 3 people were awarded the Lord-Lieutenant’s Certificate of Merit by Brigadier Robert Aitken CBE CStJ at the awards ceremony at Chapman VC House, Cwmbran, on Thursday 30 January.

The recipients were Staff Sergeant Paul Carter of 100 Field Squadron, The Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers (Militia) and Second Lieutenant Katie Marfell and Sergeant Major Instructor Tyrone Gravell both of Gwent and Powys Army Cadet Force.

The achievements of the Lord-Lieutenant’s 3 cadets were recognised and celebrated during the event attended by 80 people.

Cadet Sergeant Major Robert Lewis and Cadet Sergeant Major Thomas Wilson both of Gwent and Powys Army Cadet Force and Cadet Warrant Officer Megan Hutton of No 1 Welsh Wing RAF Air Cadets outlined to the audience highlights of their time in cadets.

The role, which lasts for a year, includes attendance with the Brigadier (who acts as the King’s representative) at a number of official engagements such as Remembrance events, Royal visits and parades.

The 3 were selected for the prestigious Lord-Lieutenant’s cadet role after being put forward for nomination by cadet group leaders and the Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Wales.

The King’s Coronation Medal was also presented to Staff Sergeant Paul Carter, 5 members of Gwent and Powys Army Cadet Force and two members of No 1 Welsh Wing RAF Air Cadets, in recognition of their service. The King’s Coronation Medal is a thank you from the nation for those who were a member of the Armed Forces on 6 May 2023 and had 5 years’ uninterrupted service.

They were Second Lieutenant Greg McFarlane, Staff Sergeant Instructor Peter Clements, Staff Sergeant Instructor Peter Hire, Staff Sergeant Instructor Kevin Trigg and Sergeant Instructor Clive Scott of Gwent and Powys ACF and Squadron Leader Ken Lavender and Squadron Leader Chris Stubbs of No 1 Welsh Wing RAF Air Cadets.

Staff Sergeant Peter Hire was also presented with the Cadet Forces’ Medal, which is awarded to members of the Cadet Force for 12 years service.

Volunteer service recognition awards were also presented to three members of the Sea Cadet Corps. These were Civilian Instructor Brendyn Metcalfe of Torfaen Sea Cadets for 12 years service, Petty Officer Bryony Duggan of Newport Sea Cadets for six years service and Mr Robin Lawlor of Torfaen Sea Cadets also for six years service.

There are nearly 5,000 cadets in Wales who gain skills and qualifications through working with local communities, charities and taking part in a variety of practical activities.

The cadet syllabus is delivered by 1,850 volunteering adult Instructors and civilian assistants, who give up their spare time on weeknights and weekends.

The awards event was organised by the Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association (RFCA) for Wales – an organisation that has supported the Armed Forces for over 100 years.

UN Human Rights Council 60: UK Statement for the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-08)

UK Statement for the Enhanced Interactive Dialogue on reports of High Commissioner and Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar. Delivered by the UK's Human Rights Ambassador, Eleanor Sanders.

Thank you, Mr. President, High Commissioner, and distinguished panellists.

Your latest reports reveal deeply troubling evidence of human rights atrocities committed in Myanmar, including by the Myanmar military. Civilians are bearing the brunt: detained without due process, killed in indiscriminate air strikes, and displaced as their homes, schools, and hospitals are destroyed.

The Myanmar military’s intensified use of airstrikes following the March earthquake inflicted further devastation on civilians, compounding the crisis.

The Mechanism has uncovered extensive evidence of systematic torture and abuse in detention facilities operated by the military since the coup. Detainees, including children, have been subjected to beatings, electric shocks, and sexual violence, including rape and sexualised torture.

These reports expose a pattern of deliberate cruelty, underscoring the urgent need for justice. The international community must do more to ensure perpetrators are held to account.

The UK remains committed to supporting future accountability in Myanmar. The Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar (IIMM)’s documentation plays a vital role in laying the groundwork for this, and the UK has contributed £900,000 to the mechanism to help ensure that evidence is preserved, and justice can be pursued.

Thank you.

February 2025 update

The update published on 26 February 2025 is the ninth and final update in this series.

All phase 1 recommendations directed at London Fire Brigade, other fire and rescue services and other emergency services have been addressed. 12 of 15 government recommendations have been addressed and closed.

The remaining 3 recommendations relate to Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) and wider evacuation plans. The Deputy Prime Minister announced the government’s plans to take these forward at the Grenfell debate in the House of Commons on 2 December 2024 through its residential PEEPs proposals.

As they are also phase 2 recommendations, implementation of these final 3 recommendations is now being monitored through the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government’s (MHCLG) phase 2 monitoring process as part of MHCLG’s phase 2 progress reports (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/grenfell-tower-inquiry-government-progress-report).

MTT54410 - Administration: Payments and interest: Effect of partnership payments and recovery of partnership payments
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


Where a partner of a partnership makes a payment of MTT on behalf of that partnership, under a partnership payment notice (see MTT54290 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt54290)) or otherwise, they are entitled to recover that amount from the other partners.

Where a partner makes a payment in respect of the partnership’s MTT liability (under a partnership payment notice or otherwise) the payment is not allowed as a deduction in calculating the partner’s taxable income.

Equally, the reimbursement of the payment by another partner is not to be treated as taxable income in hands of the recipient, or as a deduction in the hands of the payer.

References to taxable income and deductions include for Income Tax, Corporation Tax, Domestic Top-up Tax and Multinational Top-up Tax.

No payment, or reimbursement, of MTT is to be treated as a distribution for either Income Tax or Corporation Tax purposes.

This is set out in paragraphs 37-38, schedule 14 to Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

See also MTT42010 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt42010) for guidance on the continuity of partnerships, and MTT51310 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt51310) for guidance on the administration of dissolved partnerships.

Effect on partnership payment notices

Where a payment has been made in respect of an MTT liability by a partnership or any of the partners, and that liability is the subject of a partnership payment notice, both the outstanding liability and the amount due by virtue of the partnership payment notice will be reduced by the amount of the payment.

This is a window of opportunity to end the threat of chemical weapons in Syria: UK Statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-12)

Statement by Caroline Quinn, UK Deputy Political Coordinator, at the UN Security Council Meeting on Syrian Chemical Weapons

After ten years of obstruction and denial by the Assad regime, we have a window of opportunity to end the threat of chemical weapons in Syria once and for all.

We welcome the progress made by the new Syrian government in delivering on its commitments under the Chemical Weapons Convention and UN Security Council Resolution 2118, as underlined by Foreign Minister al Shaibani.

We also welcome the recent deployments to Syria by the Technical Secretariat of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.

The Director-General’s report confirming the presence of a nerve agent found at a site undeclared by the Assad regime affords us a deeper understanding of the serious nature and scope of the chemical weapons programme. Discoveries such as this underline the urgent need to maintain momentum.

The scale of the challenge means there is much more to do. We call on Syria and the OPCW, to accelerate their efforts to identify, secure and verifiably destroy all remaining chemical weapons.

We look forward to early decisions by the OPCW Executive Council to establish a clear mandate for this work to proceed safely and expeditiously.

President, it is clear that the OPCW requires technical, financial and logistical assistance from the international community to accomplish this vital work.

The United Kingdom continues to strongly support the work of the OPCW’s Technical Secreteriat and in July we pledged $2.7 million in support of the OPCW’s missions in Syria, in addition to the $1.1 million we had provided following the fall of the Assad regime. We urge all member states to support Syria to eliminate these weapons.

Finally, President the United Kingdom notes with concern that Israeli military actions have delayed OPCW deployments and risk undermining the security and stability of Syria and the wider region.

Preserving evidence at chemical weapons-related sites is essential to ensure accountability for both those who used these weapons, and their supporters. We therefore urge Israel to de-escalate and avoid any further disruption to this critical work.

President, this latest report is another stark reminder of the importance of this council continuing to support Syria and the OPCW so that the new Syrian Government can meet its international obligations and move towards a safer and more secure future for all Syrians.
