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.

The compère for the evening was Sian Lloyd, with the welcome given by James Evans MS, chair of the Senedd’s Cross Party Group on the Armed Forces and Cadets. The opening address was given by Brigadier Russ Wardle OBE DL, chair of the Reserves Forces’ and Cadets’ Association (RFCA) for Wales.

Commodore Tris Kirkwood OBE ADC, Naval Regional Commander Wales, Western England and Channel Islands, gave the keynote address.

The 12 Welsh award recipients were:

Awarded by the Ministry of Defence (MOD), the ERS formally recognises organisations that employ and support those who serve in the armed forces, veterans and their families. Across the UK, 202 organisations received the Gold Award this year.

To achieve Gold, employers must:
- provide at least 10 days’ additional paid leave for reservists

These organisations lead by example, helping to shift national attitudes and raise standards across their sectors.

The health of people in prison, on probation and in the secure NHS estate in England
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-06)

The Chief Medical Officer for England identifies areas of good practice and areas of risk, and recommends actions to improve health outcomes for this population.

This report by Professor Chris Whitty, the Chief Medical Officer for England, aims to improve the health outcomes of people in prison, on probation and in the secure NHS estate by supporting professionals, practitioners and policymakers in health and justice. It was produced in collaboration with Ministry of Justice, HM Prison and Probation Service, NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care and involved engagement with:
- frontline health and justice professionals working in prison, probation and secure NHS hospitals
- people with lived experience of the justice system
On average, people in prison and on probation start from poorer physical and mental health than the general population, and the prison environment can exacerbate this. In addition, the prison population is aging, and age-related health problems which were once rare in prison, are becoming more common. There have been recent improvements in several areas of health provision for this population, delivered by healthcare and prison staff but there are also areas which can improve. There are still barriers to prevention and care, such as:
- gaps in provision
- poor data flows
- significant risk points when people transition into, out of and between prison and probation
Some of the areas identified where improvement is needed and realistic are the health of specific groups including:
- pregnant women
- prisoners with chronic or preventable infections
- prisoners with mental health issues
- prisoners needing palliative care
Many health regions and prison estates are already taking positive action and are improving health of their prison and probation populations. However, there are many opportunities identified in the report to implement these actions across more settings and prioritise these often medically vulnerable groups in future health service developments. This requires joint action by healthcare and justice policymakers and professionals.

MTT21160 - Calculating the effective tax rate: Adjusted profits: Revaluation method gain or loss
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


A gain or loss is to be included in the adjusted profits if it arises due to the use of an accounting practice that:
- periodically adjusts the carrying value of the member’s property, plant and equipment (as defined by International Accounting Standard 16),
- records the changes in value in the member’s accounts, outside of the profit and loss account, and
- does not subsequently report the gains or losses in the profit and loss account.
Where such gains and losses are not reflected in the underlying profits, an adjustment is required in accordance with section 143 of Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

Note that the amount to be included is the gain or loss before adjustments to reflect tax expense amounts.

Fires in e-bikes and e-scooters
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-05)

This report presents statistics on fires in e-bikes and e-scooters and related products using information reported to OPSS.

E-bikes and e-scooters are part of the transition to more sustainable transport. However, there are product safety risks associated with these products, primarily related to the fire and explosion risks from the lithium-ion batteries they use. As the national product regulator, the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has worked with others across government to understand the root cause of these fires and is taking action to reduce harm.

Fire and rescue service fire investigators across the UK notify OPSS of fires where a consumer product was the most probable cause. This helps with the early identification of potential product safety issues. This is done voluntarily using a product-related fire notification form available on GOV.UK, when fire investigation teams identify consumer products as the most probable cause of fires and incidents.

CG64325 - Private residence relief: the entity of the dwelling-house: caravans
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-17)


Caravans

A mobile caravan is a chattel as it is a tangible moveable asset. If it is a wasting asset (see CG76700 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg76700)+), and no capital allowances were available on its cost, no chargeable gain can arise on its disposal. Any gain is exempted by s45(1) TCGA92 (see CG11700 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg11700)).

Where a caravan has become so affixed to the land as to become part of it, it will have ceased to be a chattel and so any gain will not be exempt. However, in these circumstances it may be that the caravan would be regarded as a dwelling-house and as such private residence relief may be available.

A caravan which is connected with water, electricity, telephone and other essential services and has become permanently located on a site, even though it may still be technically mobile, may be regarded as a dwelling-house. However, this is a question of fact. Assistance can be obtained in relation to this issue in the contrasting decisions of Makins v Elson (51TC437) and Moore v Thompson (61TC15).

Boats

The analysis which applies to caravans equally applies to houseboats. Houseboats will generally be tangible moveable wasting assets and so exempt from Capital Gains Tax under s45(1) TCGA92.

A houseboat which is permanently located on a site and connected to all mains services may be regarded as a dwelling-house. If the houseboat has been used as an immobile residence for a period of 6 months or more and has had all of its engines removed it should be regarded as a dwelling-house. Other cases should be considered on their specific facts.

Occasionally yachts, barges or other boats are used as the residence of their owner. In some cases, the useful life of the boat is such that it cannot be regarded as a wasting asset and so a chargeable gain may arise on its disposal. Where this is the case the boat should not be regarded as a dwelling-house except in the circumstances explained above which apply to houseboats.
A46 Newark Bypass development consent decision announced
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-01)

The A46 Newark Bypass application has today been granted development consent by the Secretary of State for Transport.

The scheme comprises on-line widening, to the north of the existing route, for most of its length between Farndon roundabout and the A1 followed by a new section of offline dual carriageway proposed between the A1 and Winthorpe roundabout, where the new dual carriageway ties into the existing A46 to the west of Winthorpe roundabout.

The application was submitted to the Planning Inspectorate for consideration by National Highways on 26 April 2024 and accepted for examination on 23 May 2024.

Following an examination during which the public, statutory consultees and interested parties were given the opportunity to give evidence to the Examining Authority, recommendations were made to the Secretary of State on 1 July 2025.

This is the 61st transport application out of 164 applications examined to date and was again completed by the Planning Inspectorate within the statutory timescale laid down in the Planning Act 2008.

Local communities continue to be given the opportunity of being involved in the examination of projects that may affect them. Local people, the local authority and other interested parties were able to participate in this six-month examination.

The Examining Authority listened and gave full consideration to all local views and the evidence gathered during the examination before making its recommendation to the Secretary of State.

The decision, the recommendation made by the Examining Authority to the Secretary of State for Transport and the evidence considered by the Examining Authority in reaching its recommendation are publicly available on the project pages of the National Infrastructure Planning website.

Consultation on the CMA’s proposed recommendation on the Assimilated TTBER
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-30)

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is consulting on a proposed recommendation that the Secretary of State replace the Assimilated TTBER with a UK block exemption order, when it expires on 30 April 2026.

The CMA is consulting on its proposed recommendation (the Proposed Recommendation) to the Secretary of State (SoS) for Business and Trade regarding the Assimilated Technology Transfer Block Exemption Regulation (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eur/2014/316) (the Assimilated TTBER), which expires on 30 April 2026. The Assimilated TTBER exempts certain types of technology transfer agreements from the Chapter I prohibition of the Competition Act.

In the Proposed Recommendation, the CMA proposes to recommend that the Secretary of State make a block exemption order of 12 years’ duration that exempts the categories of technology transfer agreements currently exempted by the Assimilated TTBER, and which includes the same definitions, conditions and obligations as the Assimilated TTBER (adapted as necessary for UK purposes), but with the following variations:
- removing ‘utility models’ from the definition of ‘technology rights’
- adding ‘copyright in a database’ and ‘database rights’ to the definitions of ‘technology rights’ and ‘intellectual property rights’
- adding definitions of ‘active sales’ and ‘passive sales’
- replacing the market share thresholds in respect of technology markets with a condition that there be at least 3 independently controlled substitutable technologies in addition to the technologies held by the parties to the agreement
The CMA has prepared the Proposed Recommendation having regard, among other things, to responses to the call for inputs on the Assimilated TTBER, which ran from midday on 26 July 2024 to 5pm on 6 September 2024. These responses to the call for inputs (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/technology-transfer-block-exemption-regulation) are published on the Technology Transfer Block Exemption Regulation consultation page.
Provincial Grand Lodge of Lincolnshire
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 Provincial Grand Lodge of Lincolnshire 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 Provincial Grand Lodge of Lincolnshire 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 Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- 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.
Basic bank accounts
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-05)

This series brings together all documents relating to the basic bank account data reported to the Treasury by the nine banks designated to provide basic bank accounts.

The nine largest personal current account (PCA) providers are legally required to offer basic bank accounts that are fee-free for standard operations, including a failed payment, removing the risk that customers run up unintended overdrafts. Basic bank account customers are able to use the same services (e.g. ATM and Post Office counter access) as a financial institution’s other PCA customers. These 9 institutions are: Barclays UK, the Co-operative Bank, HSBC UK, Lloyds Banking Group (including Halifax and Bank of Scotland brands), Nationwide Building Society, NatWest Group (including Royal Bank of Scotland and Ulster Bank brands), Santander UK, TSB and Virgin Money.

These designated providers have agreed to report data on basic bank accounts and personal current accounts to HM Treasury for annual publication.
