Mr Sneake Clean

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 Mr Sneake Clean 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 Mr Sneake Clean 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

- 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.

We cannot achieve sustainable development by leaving young people out of conversations: UK National Statement at the UN Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-10)

Statement by UK Minister for Equalities, Seema Malhotra, at the UN Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities General Debate.

The UK is determined to boost opportunity and champion the rights of disabled people.

The government works closely with disabled people and their representative organisations, ensuring that their views and voices are at the heart of everything that we do.

For instance, we have recently engaged with disabled people through a public consultation and call for evidence for our Equality, Race and Disability Bill.

The Bill will make the right to equal pay effective for disabled people and ethnic minorities, and introduce mandatory disability and ethnicity pay gap reporting for large employers.

We have appointed Lead Ministers for Disability who champion the interests of disabled people and disability inclusion and accessibility across their government department.

The UK Government remains strongly committed to implementing the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

We have developed a new training to increase knowledge of the Convention across government. We also recently extended the Convention to the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda.

Globally, we are faced with the climate and nature crisis and a greater number of conflicts than at any time since 1945. Disabled people are disproportionately affected by these crises, so promoting disability inclusion internationally is more important than ever.

This year marks the UN’s 80th anniversary. It serves as a reminder that only by acting together can we address global challenges head-on and defend human rights for all.

That is why we must build on the momentum of the Global Disability Summit in April.

At the summit, the UK announced ambitious commitments to mainstream disability in our international work.

This included generating $60m of investment capital from the Private Sector and multilateral institutions through the Assistive Technology Growth Fund; integrating disability inclusion in our ‘Green Cities and Infrastructure Centre of Expertise’; and ensuring that all our international education programming is disability inclusive.

The UK has also announced its co-chairing of the Global Action on Disability network of governments, civil society, foundations and the private sector, through which we will bring partners together in support of our stronger national and international systems that deliver disability rights, leave no one behind and implement the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

AAIB investigation to Falco F8L, G-HCBW
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-09)

Falco F8L (G-HCBW), left landing gear partial collapse during landing, Headcorn Aerodrome, Kent, 27 August 2024

During takeoff the aircraft bounced and, as a result of a cross wind, came down on its left wheel before climbing away. Despite the pilot’s attempts to retract the landing gear, using both the normal and emergency systems, the landing gear would not retract. The pilot reselected down but although the green down light was illuminated, the pilot took additional steps to ensure the gear was down. However, on landing the left gear partially collapsed bending its retraction screwjack. It is likely the left landing gear mechanism was damaged after the bounce during which higher than normal side loads may have occurred.

Declaration of a fuel emergency following a missed approach due to windshear, Birmingham Airport, 21 December 2023

G-TUIB had crossed the Atlantic and was holding to make an approach into Manchester Airport (MAN), on a day of significant weather disruption owing to the high wind conditions that were forecast to affect the northern half of the UK. The commander then elected to divert to the nominated alternate of East Midlands Airport (EMA) but was denied because of capacity constraints at EMA and instead diverted to Birmingham Airport (BHX). On final approach to BHX, the aircraft encountered windshear and carried out a missed approach. A fuel emergency was declared and the aircraft subsequently landed below final reserve fuel after its second approach.

Safety action in relation to diversions and aircraft emergencies has been implemented by both EMA and BHX following their own internal investigations. The actions taken addressed the process for determining and communicating airport capacity for diversions, and prioritisation for aircraft that have declared an emergency.

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 Nuvia will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:

Free breakfast clubs for half a million extra children next year
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-27)

Thousands more families will soon benefit from free breakfast clubs as the government confirms plans for 2,000 new schools to join the scheme from April 2026.

Thousands more families will soon benefit from free breakfast clubs (https://educationhub.blog.gov.uk/2025/04/free-breakfast-club-roll-out-everything-you-need-to-know/) on their doorstep, as the government confirms plans for 2,000 new schools to join the government scheme from April 2026.

This milestone will deliver real change for families up and down the country – freeing up precious time in the busy morning rush and putting more money in their pockets, with up to £450 of childcare savings.

It delivers on the government’s manifesto promise to ensure state primary schools offer free breakfast clubs to all pupils and kickstarts the national rollout next year.

It will mean half a million more children getting a healthy start to the day and parents saving 95 hours in time spent on childcare.

Supported by £80 million investment, the 2,000 new schools will join the 750 schools already successfully delivering free breakfast clubs as part of the early adopter scheme, driving improvements in children’s attendance, attainment and behaviour.

Free breakfast clubs are one in a number of government measures to back working families and deliver on the Plan for Change, including the expansion of government-funded childcare (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/over-half-a-million-children-to-benefit-from-funded-childcare) to 30 hours per week for working parents.

It works hand-in-hand with the rollout of Best Start Family Hubs (https://educationhub.blog.gov.uk/2025/07/best-start-family-hubs-what-parents-need-to-know/), a ‘one-stop shop’ for families to access free classes, events and activities, all to ensure every child has the best start in life.

It supports the government target to ensure tens of thousands more children each years start school ready to learn.

Funding for the expansion was part of the Department’s Spending Review settlement, and full information on the national rollout of the scheme, including how schools can apply, will be released by the Department later in the year.

Concizumab approved to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes in people aged 12 years and older with haemophilia A or B with inhibitors
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-24)

As with any medicine, the MHRA will keep the safety and effectiveness of concizumab under close review.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has approved the medicine concizumab (brand name: Alhemo) to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes (prophylaxis) in people aged 12 years and older with haemophilia A or B with inhibitors.

Haemophilia is a rare, inherited condition that affects the way blood clots. People with haemophilia A or B are at higher risk of bleeding because they lack proteins that help the blood clot (clotting factor VIII for haemophilia A and clotting factor IX for haemophilia B).

The active substance, concizumab, which acts independently of factor VIII and factor IX, works by blocking a natural protein that prevents blood from clotting (known as tissue factor pathway inhibitor). By inhibiting this protein, concizumab increases Factor Xa activity, a component in the blood clotting (coagulation) process, allowing the blood to clot more effectively and prevent bleeding in people with haemophilia.

Concizumab is injected subcutaneously (under the skin) daily.

A full list of side effects can be found in the Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) or the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC), available on the MHRA website within 7 days of approval.

As with any medicine, the MHRA will keep the safety and effectiveness of concizumab under close review.

Anyone who suspects they are having a side effect from this medicine are encouraged to talk to their doctor, pharmacist or nurse and report it directly to the Yellow Card scheme, either through the website (https://yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/) or by searching the Google Play or Apple App stores for MHRA Yellow Card.

Notes to editors

The new marketing authorisation was granted on 6 October 2025 to Novo Nordisk.

More information can be found in the Summary of Product Characteristics and Patient Information leaflets which will be published on the MHRA Products website (https://products.mhra.gov.uk/) within 7 days of approval.

Concizumab has been approved through the International Recognition Procedure (IRP) (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/international-recognition-procedure/international-recognition-procedure). The IRP allows the MHRA to take into account the expertise and decision-making of trusted regulatory partners for the benefit of UK patients. The MHRA retains the authority to reject applications if the evidence provided is not considered sufficiently robust.

Business readiness for Day 1 No Deal EU exit: waves 1 to 3 research report
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-15)

Quantitative research commissioned to Ipsos MORI exploring business readiness for a Day 1 No Deal EU exit on 29 March 2019 (waves 1 to 3).

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) commissioned Ipsos MORI to conduct quantitative research on the preparedness of different groups of businesses for a potential No Deal scenario, to track readiness over time. The research was conducted in two phases:
- the first took place in January (wave 1), February (wave 2) and March 2019 (wave 3)
- the second took place in July (wave 4), August (wave 5) and September 2019 (wave 6)
The first phase of the research explored business readiness for a Day 1 No Deal in case this took place on 29 March 2019. The departure date was then extended from 29 March 2019 to 31 October 2019. The second phase of the research explored business readiness for a No Deal scenario in case this took place on 31 October 2019.

This research report covers the first phase of the research (waves one to three). This comprised 3 separate telephone surveys of VAT-registered businesses trading with the EU. Intermediaries (covering customs brokers, freight forwarders and hauliers not all trading with other EU countries) were interviewed in a single telephone survey around the same time as the first wave of the VAT-registered businesses survey.
