Biodiversity finance trends 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-10)

The Biodiversity Finance Trends Dashboard tracks international trends in biodiversity finance – in particular nature finance to developing countries and co-benefits with climate finance.

In December 2022, at the 15th UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Conference of the Parties (COP) in Montreal, Canada, the Kunming Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) was agreed by 196 countries. This landmark deal set a global commitment to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.

To deliver this ambition, we must mobilise more finance from all sources to bridge the US $700 billion annual biodiversity funding gap, as agreed under the KMGBF.

This dashboard launched by Defra Secretary of State, Rt Hon Emma Reynolds on 9 October 2025 at the UK’s pre-COP event at the Natural History Museum, London, uses the latest available data – some being preliminary – to track progress against the KMGBF finance targets. The dashboard helps identify where action is needed.

The full version of the dashboard was published on the Biodiversity Finance Trends website (https://www.financebiodiversity.org/2025trends). An accessible version providing the most important information is available on this page.

Bathing water quality statistics
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-25)

Annual statistics showing if bathing waters in England meet regulatory standards.

Bathing waters in England have not been classified in 2020. This is due to the severe impacts on bathing water monitoring and analysis caused by the Coronavirus pandemic and the necessary adherence with government guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus.

An official statistic has not been produced for 2020.

The Environment Agency closely monitors beaches and inland waters that are designated bathing waters (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/bathing-waters) to check that standards are being maintained.

They must publish the official statistics and classifications awarded.

Bathing waters can be classified as ‘excellent’, ‘good’, ‘sufficient’ or ‘poor’.

Latest results – 2025

Out of 450 bathing waters:
- 417 (92.6 per cent) met at least the minimum standard
- 289 (64.2 per cent)were classified as ‘Excellent’
- 37 (8.2 per cent) did not meet the minimum standard and were classified as ‘poor’

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 Libben Health & Safety Limited 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 Libben Health & Safety Limited 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
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
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.

Source: gov.uk (2025-10-23)


Section 57 CAA 2001

The balancing adjustment is made by reference to the 'disposal value' of the item concerned.

If the plant or machinery has been sold this will be the sale proceeds unless the sale was not at market value. Refer the case to the Capital Allowances Single Point of Contact for your area if:

· you suspect the sale was not at market value or

· the plant or machinery was acquired from a connected person or

· the adjustment is needed because the employment has ended or the plant or machinery has permanently ceased to be used in the performance of the duties.

The Capital Allowances Single Point of Contact for your area will determine the disposal value in accordance with CA23250 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-allowances-manual/ca23250).

Both balancing charges and allowances have to be adjusted to take private use into account in accordance with EIM36570 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim36570) - see example EIM36930 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim36930).

All Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programmes are reviewed carefully each year. These reviews assess:

technical and programme management standards including financial and risk management, value for money, conflict and gender sensitivity

contextual factors such as changes to the political environment

the outputs and outcomes during the year

Lessons learned are also identified.

An expert team conducts these reviews and include at least one team member who is independent from the programme. The team assesses at 2 levels: output (the direct result of programme activities) and outcome (the changes that these outputs deliver). Assessment scores are on a scale of 4, where outputs or outcomes meet or exceed expectations, to 1, where most targets were not met.

The CSSF team aims to publish information for all programmes. However, because some of the CSSF’s work is very sensitive, we cannot publish details of all programmes. The 2 main reasons for this are:

Report of the Spoliation Advisory Panel in respect of the painting 'Aeneas and his Family Fleeing Burning Troy' by Henry Gibbs
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-28)

This report deals with a claim brought to the Spoliation Advisory Panel on behalf of the heirs of Samuel Hartveld (the Heirs) for restitution of the painting Aeneas and his Family Fleeing Burning Troy by Henry Gibbs currently located in the collection of the Tate Gallery, London.

The Spoliation Advisory Panel considered a restitution claim on behalf of heirs of the late Samuel Hartveld for an oil painting, Aeneas and his Family Fleeing Burning Troy, by Henry Gibbs now in possession of the Tate Gallery, London. The claimants submitted that the painting was one of 66 works seized from a gallery owned by Samuel Hartveld in Antwerp by the Nazis on 26 March 1942.

The Panel concluded that the evidence provided supported the legal and moral claims to restitution on the grounds that Samuel Hartveld was forced to flee his homeland, leaving behind his property, books and art collection which were subsequently looted as an act of racial persecution by the Nazis. The Panel recommended the painting be restituted to the heirs of Samuel Hartveld. The Panel was keen to express its gratitude to the Tate for its open and honourable reaction to this claim in not contesting it, and noted its helpful offer to assist in what it describes as a “meaningful and appropriate recognition” of the painting’s history.

The Spoliation Advisory Panel was designated by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport to consider the claim. The Panel was established in 2000 by government to consider claims for the return of cultural objects lost during the Nazi-era (1933 to 1945).

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 The Property and Construction Partnership 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 The Property and Construction Partnership 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
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
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.
CG14970 - Deferred consideration: unascertainable: future payments when received
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-11)


There will be an occasion of charge when each future payment is received. This should be treated as a disposal or part-disposal of the right to receive the future payments. The acquisition cost of the right is the value of the right which has been brought into the original disposal computation.

Where losses accrue on disposals of certain rights on or after 10 April 2003 individuals and others within the charge to capital gains tax (but not companies within the charge to corporation tax) may elect to set off the loss in earlier years, see CG15080 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg15080)+.

Where a series of payments is received this will form a series of part-disposals. The value of the remaining right at each date will need to be ascertained to use the part-disposal formula. These valuations can be obtained in the same way as the original valuation of the right, see CG14950 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg14950).

The disposal (or part-disposal) of the right will not be eligible for any relief which was due (or claimed) on the disposal of the original asset.

EXAMPLE 1

A company sells business premises for consideration consisting of cash plus a right to unascertainable future consideration. It acquires replacement premises and claims roll-over relief under TCGA92/S152, see CG60250 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg60250)+.Roll-over relief will not be available to the company on the later disposal of the right. The right is not a qualifying asset for rollover relief purposes, see CG60280P (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg60280p).

Top of page (#Top)

EXAMPLE 2

An individual disposes of a business for consideration which includes a right to unascertainable future consideration. The disposal qualifies for Business Asset Disposal Relief under TCGA92/S169H, see CG63950 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg63950)+.The later disposal of the right will not qualify for further relief.

Where however, the right was acquired on a sale of shares or debentures TCGA92/S138A may result in TCGA92/S135 operating so that the no disposal/same asset treatment of TCGA92/S127 applies, with the necessary adaptations, to the exchange of the shares or debentures for the right. There is guidance on TCGA92/S138A at CG15020 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg15020) and CG58000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg58000)+ and on TCGA92/S135 at CG52500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg52500)+.

The British Antarctic Territory (BAT) is a UK Overseas Territory administered in London by the Polar Regions Department of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.

The Government of the Territory has its own legislative framework and makes a range of legal and administrative appointments.

There is no formal British government representation locally in the BAT.

The BAT has no indigenous population and presence in the Territory is provided by:
- British Antarctic Survey (BAS) (https://www.bas.ac.uk/) that operates 3 scientific stations
- United Kingdom Antarctic Heritage Trust (UKAHT) (http://www.ukaht.org/) that manages the historial base at Port Lockroy (http://www.ukaht.org/discover/port-lockroy/)
The BAT comprises the sector of the Antarctic south of latitude 60 degrees South, between longitude 20 degrees West and 80 degrees West. The UK’s claim to this part of Antarctica is the oldest of any made on the continent. All territorial sovereignty claims to Antarctica are held in abeyance under Article IV of the Antarctic Treaty 1959.

The UK’s overarching objective is to support the security and good governance of the Territory.

Closure of loophole to keep terrorists and extremists out of the UK
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-18)

A law has been introduced to prevent British citizenship being reinstated to people considered a national security risk following a successful initial appeal.

National security will be strengthened under a new law to prevent British citizenship being reinstated to individuals considered a risk following a successful initial appeal.

The Deprivation of Citizenship Orders (Effect during Appeal) Bill (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/deprivation-of-citizenship-orders-effect-during-appeal-bill--2) will ensure that citizenship is not automatically reinstated after a successful appeal until all further appeals are exhausted—protecting the public from potential threats.

The bill addresses a gap in the law identified by the Supreme Court, where it confirmed people automatically regain their British citizenship if their initial appeal is successful – even before further appeals have been determined.

This could mean individuals who the government still considers a risk to the UK’s national security can either be released from immigration detention or return to the UK whilst further appeals are still possible or are ongoing.

This change will also prevent a person from having British citizenship reinstated and then renouncing any other nationalities. This would mean any future decision to deprive their citizenship following a successful further appeal, could not be made as it would unlawfully render them stateless, meaning they could also not be deported from the UK or prevented from returning if they were already overseas.

Security Minister Dan Jarvis said:

Protecting our national security and keeping the British public safe is the first duty of this government and the foundation of our Plan for Change. The power to deprive someone of their British citizenship is an essential tool, and helps protect us from some of the most dangerous people.

We must close this gap in the law and prevent British citizenship being reinstated to individuals until all appeals have been determined. This is the right thing to do if we believe someone is a threat to our national security, and it will make Britain safer.

Deprivation decisions (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/deprivation-of-british-citizenship-caseworker-guidance/deprivation-of-british-citizenship-accessible-version) on ‘conducive to the public good’ grounds are taken only in the most serious cases by the Home Secretary, where it is in the public interest to do so because of the individual’s conduct or the threat they pose to the UK.

The change in the law follows the similar approach taken in asylum and human rights appeals cases, where asylum is not granted to a person appealing a rejection until all further appeals, up to the Court of Appeal, have been determined.

This narrowly focussed bill, consisting of two clauses, makes no change to a person’s existing right to appeal any decision to remove their British citizenship, and doesn’t widen the reasons for which a person could be deprived of their citizenship.
