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 Vectis Equine Vets 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 Vectis Equine Vets 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 Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
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.

CTM08349 - Corporation Tax: management expenses: pension contributions: payment by third parties
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-15)


FA04/S196 to S199 only apply to payments made by employers and former employers (including sponsoring employers of the scheme).

It would be rare for a company to make a contribution, ‘other than as employer’, which does not fall with FA04/S196 to S199, but there are three main possible circumstances:
- contributions required by the Pensions Regulator,
- contributions under guarantee arrangements, and
- voluntary contributions.
In such cases, the payment should be considered on first principles (is it in fact an expense of managing the company’s investment business since it is not deemed to be so by FA04/S196 (3)) to establish whether it qualifies for relief under CTA09/S1219. The timing rules of CTA09/S1224 (CTM08560 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm08560)) will apply in the absence of any other specific timing rule. In addition, as it is not a payment within FA04/S196 to S199 if it is capital in nature it will not be an expense of management.

Licences and conditions relating to licensed actions on or around protected sites.

Natural England has not licensed any new area cull licences in 2025. It has authorised the licence holders to resume operations in 12 existing badger control areas. Licence holders met all the criteria specified in Defra’s guidance to Natural England, (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/909950/tb-licensing-guidance-ne.pdf) dated May 2021.

Natural England has reissued the Annex A for the Low Risk Area (LRA) Area 73 Cumbria due to a small change to its control area this year.

Natural England has also published the Licence Annex B for all existing licences.

Table 1: Badger control areas authorised in 2025

The licence allows authorised persons to undertake badger control within the licensed control area each year between 1 June and 31 January inclusive.

The licence holder will decide the start date for control operations within this period.

Natural England has confirmed to the licence holders the minimum and maximum numbers of badgers they can remove.

Protected sites listed in the Annex Bs are not necessarily part of any active operations. These can and will only occur on protected sites where the landowner or occupier has granted permission.

The licences only permit badger control to take place outside these closed seasons:
- controlled shooting – 1 February to 31 May
- cage-trapping and shooting – 1 December to 31 May

UK Human Rights Ambassador Eleanor Sanders is arriving in Dhaka for a three-day visit to hold meetings with the Interim Government, human rights defenders and other partners.

The UK reiterates its commitment to supporting Bangladesh in upholding human rights and democracy as Human Rights Ambassador Eleanor Sanders arrives in Dhaka today.

The UK has a long-standing commitment to the promotion and protection of human rights in Bangladesh and across the world. Since the formation of the Interim Government, the UK has supported the government’s agenda to restore law and order, ensure accountability and establish rule of law.

During her three-day visit to Bangladesh, Human Rights Ambassador will discuss justice and accountability, human rights and fundamental freedoms with advisers and senior officials across government.

She will pay a visit to the University of Dhaka to deliver a seminar on human rights and engage with students. During the seminar, the Ambassador and the students will discuss the importance of upholding fundamental freedoms including media freedom, freedom of religion or belief and ensuring the protection of minority groups.

She will also visit Cox’s Bazar to oversee UK funded projects in the Rohingya refugee camps including food distribution, female health and education activities and LPG distribution.

The Ambassador will also announce new UK funding for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) to strengthen accountability for human rights violations and abuses.

Human Rights Ambassador Eleanor Sanders said:

The UK strongly supports the Interim Government’s work to advance sustainable, long term reforms which are grounded in respect for human rights, as well as growth.

Through my visit, we hope further to strengthen UK-Bangladesh collaboration on a range of priority issues such as accountability and justice, freedom of religion or belief, media freedom, gender equality and labour rights. We will also consolidate our multilateral partnership with Bangladesh – an important current member of the UN Human Rights Council.

British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Sarah Cooke Said:

I am pleased to welcome UK Human Rights Ambassador Eleanor Sanders to Bangladesh. This visit is another illustration of the UK’s deep friendship with Bangladesh and longstanding commitment to help create a more prosperous and democratic future for the people of Bangladesh.

Leeds man arrested in recycling fraud investigation
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-23)

Environment Agency and Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Organised Crime Unit apprehend a 34-year-old man in Leeds

A Leeds local has been arrested for conspiracy to commit money laundering, as part of an active Environment Agency investigation into illegal recycling export paperwork.

In a joint raid earlier this week (Wednesday 21 May), Environment Agency officers worked with the Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Organised Crime Unit to apprehend a 34-year-old man at a property in Leeds.

After being interviewed, the suspect has been released pending ongoing investigations and evidence gathered during the arrest will support action going forward.

The arrest forms a crucial part of an ongoing investigation by the Environment Agency and Joint Unit for Waste Crime into fraud, money laundering and offences under the producer responsibility regulations. This now brings the total number of arrests to seven, after four individuals across Leeds, Doncaster and Calderdale were arrested (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/arrests-made-in-yorkshire-raids-as-part-of-waste-crime-enquiry) in April last year, and two others being arrested in 2023.

Emma Viner, Enforcement and Investigations Manager at the Environment Agency, said:

We are calling time on fraud in the recycling sector, which undermines hard-working businesses and trashes our natural environment.

Our teams are thoroughly examining all the evidence gathered in the raid to further progress the investigation and help put an end to this unacceptable, organised criminal activity.

The Packaging Producer Responsibility Regulations were introduced to oblige the producers of waste packaging made from materials such as plastic, glass and cardboard to contribute towards the financial cost of recycling and disposing the waste.

Businesses that meet the criteria are required to prove they have made a financial contribution by purchasing credits, known as Packaging Export Recovery Notes, from waste reprocessors or exporters. However, the credits have a monetary value which means organised criminal gangs can look to infiltrate the sector and engage in high value fraud and money laundering.

In 2024, the Environment Agency launched a new Economic Crime Unit (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ensuring-crime-doesnt-pay-new-economic-crime-unit-to-tackle-money-laundering-and-carry-out-financial-investigations#:~:text=The%20Environment%20Agency%20has%20launched,ensuring%20crime%20doesn%27t%20pay.) to boost its efforts to tackle money laundering and carry out financial investigations in the waste sector. This arrest marks another vital step in the unit’s work to ensure those working in waste management do the right thing and waste criminals are rooted out of the sector.

If a member of the public has any information that may assist with this investigation, they should call the Environment Agency’s 24-hour hotline on xx-xxxx-xxxx. They can also report it anonymously via Crimestoppers on xx-xxxx-xxxx or the Crimestoppers website (https://crimestoppers-uk.org/).
Cardiff set for UK Government jobs boost to drive growth
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-13)

Cardiff has been named as one of 13 locations where more Civil Service jobs will be moved in a boost for the local economy.

Under the shake up, government roles will be shifted outside of London to towns and cities in all four nations of the UK, delivering and developing policy closer to the communities it affects.

The move is projected to bring £729 million worth of economic benefit to the 13 growth areas by 2030.

Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Pat McFadden, said:

To deliver our Plan for Change, we are taking more decision-making out of Whitehall and moving it closer to communities all across the UK.

By relocating thousands of Civil Service roles we will not only save taxpayers money, we will make this Government one that better reflects the country it serves. We will also be making sure that Government jobs support economic growth throughout the country.

As we radically reform the state, we are going to make it much easier for talented people everywhere to join the Civil Service and help us rebuild Britain.

Secretary of State for Wales Jo Stevens said:

It is great news that Wales will be a major beneficiary of UK Government plans to develop policy closer to the communities it affects.

This decision builds upon the strong presence that the UK Government already has in Wales while driving growth, boosting jobs and giving opportunity for Welsh talent to thrive.

Currently, 9,230 civil service roles are based in Cardiff. More than 31,500 full time equivalent roles are based in Wales, with 14 major UK Government departments having a presence in the nation.

Thousands more government jobs will be moved to the 13 towns and cities across the UK, which have been named today.

Government departments now will submit plans for how many roles they plan to move to each of the locations as part of the spending review.

Changes will be introduced so talented young people from across the UK are able to progress straight from school or university into the Civil Service and rise all the way up to the most senior roles, without ever having worked in Whitehall.

To ensure those based outside of London have equal professional growth and development opportunities, with full end-to-end careers, the Government will locate 50% of UK-based Senior Civil Servants in regional offices by 2030.

This will be supported by a new approach to the Fast Stream programme, which is the Civil Service graduate scheme, with at least 50% of placements offered outside of London.

The Prime Minister is keen to further enhance the impact of Government in places across the country, so that the Civil Service has an active presence in communities and contributes to local growth and job creation.

The plans will see more roles working closer to frontline services, facilitating greater understanding of the real issues facing local services and people, and how central government policy can support them.

As a developer or local authority you should view the HS2 safeguarding maps to check whether the planned HS2 route will affect a site where a new development is being proposed. You can also determine if HS2 Ltd should be consulted on a planning application for a site that is affected by safeguarding for HS2.

Please ensure you have read guidance above.

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.

Iran’s nuclear escalation is a threat to international peace and security: UK Explanation of Vote at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-26)

Statement by Ambassador Barbara Woodward, UK Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on Iran.

The United Kingdom voted against the draft resolution.

First, as this Council knows, Iran is defying the global non-proliferation regime. Iran’s nuclear escalation, as detailed in over 60 IAEA reports over the past six years, is a threat to international peace and security.

Iran’s actions mean that the IAEA is unable to confirm that Iran’s nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful. Among the steps Iran has taken is the accumulation of a High Enriched Uranium stockpile which lacks any credible civilian justification and is unprecedented for a state without a nuclear weapons programme.

Second, we have engaged tirelessly in diplomatic efforts to resolve concerns and bring Iran back into compliance with its commitments under the JCPoA.

We regret that Iran has continued to block progress in recent months. This includes failing to resume full cooperation with the IAEA and giving no clarity on when inspections to all nuclear sites can resume.

The IAEA has also not had access to the High Enriched Uranium stockpile for over three months, nor has Iran provided the reports required by the IAEA on the status of the stockpile.

It is also clear from the Supreme Leader’s public remarks this week that Iran is not willing to consider direct negotiations with the US.

As a result, this Council does not have the necessary assurance that there is a clear path to a swift diplomatic solution.

Third, in its vote last week, this Council fulfilled the necessary steps of the snapback process set out in resolution 2231.

Therefore, UN sanctions targeting Iranian proliferation will be re-imposed this weekend. All Member States are obliged to fully comply with these sanctions, as required by the UN Charter.

The United Kingdom remains committed to pursuing a diplomatic solution that ensures Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon, while maintaining Iran’s right to a civil nuclear programme in line with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Our commitment to diplomacy remains steadfast and is not exhausted. We stand ready to continue discussions with Iran on a diplomatic solution to address international concerns about its nuclear programme. In turn, this could allow for the lifting of sanctions in the future.
