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 Rye Town Council 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 Rye Town Council 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 Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
We also pledge the following:

Supporting the annual Poppy Appeal

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.

Global Irregular Migration and Trafficking In Persons financial sanctions: list of asset-freeze targets
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-22)

UK Financial sanctions are in place for persons involved in people smuggling, human trafficking or the instrumentalisation of migration for the purpose of destabalisation. This document provides a current list of designated persons.

The Global Irregular Migration and Trafficking in Persons Sanctions Regulations 2025 (S.I. 2025/902) provide for the imposition of financial sanctions, namely the freezing of funds and economic resources persons who are or have been involved in people smuggling, human trafficking or the instrumentalisation of migration for the purposes of destabilisation, as well as criminal activities which facilitate, promote or provide support for such smuggling, trafficking or instrumentalisation or which are intended to do so.

Context

As set out in the regulations, the global irregular migration and trafficking in persons sanctions regime is aimed at deterring people smuggling, human trafficking, and instrumentalised migration for the purpose of destablisation.

The regulations impose sanctions on persons designated due to involvement in people smuggling, human trafficking or the instrumentalisation of migration for the purposes of destabilisation, as well as criminal activities which facilitate, promote or provide support for such smuggling, trafficking or instrumentalisation or which are intended to do so.

The regime operates under the UK Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (“the Sanctions Act”) (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2018/13/contents/enacted)

UK Regulations:

Holding museum artefacts that contain polychlorinated biphenyls: RPS 346
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-03)

Environment Agency regulatory position on retention of artefacts that may contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by museums for archival, education, research and or display purposes.

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirements under The Environmental Protection (Disposal of Polychlorinated Biphenyls and other Dangerous Substances) (England and Wales) Regulations 2000 (as amended) ‘the Regulations’ to identify, label, register and dispose of equipment that contains PCBs.

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with these legal requirements relating to artefacts in your collection if you meet the requirements in this RPS.

The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
INTM601960 - Transfer of assets abroad: Non-domiciled individuals taxation up to 5 April 2025: The Income charge - introduction
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


The basic provisions that describe whether an individual is liable to an income charge and, if so, how much is chargeable, are contained in INTM600520 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm600520) onwards.

This part of the manual proceeds on the basis that a potential charge was established and considers the possible effect on that charge if the individual was non-UK domiciled.

Whether or not an individual was non-UK domiciled is not a matter for this manual.

This part of the manual looks at the effect of being non-UK domiciled on the income charge in three stages:
- the position up to 5 April 2005 under ICTA88/S739 - before the introduction of the Income Tax Trading and Other Income Act 2005 (ITTOIA).
- the position between 6 April 2005 and 5 April 2008 under ICTA88/S739 - after the introduction of ITTOIA, and the effect of the introduction of Income Tax Act 2007.
- the position from 6 April 2008 under ITA07/S726 and S730 - after changes brought in by the Finance Act 2008.
There were further changes in relation to the application of ITA07/S720 and S727 with the introduction of the UK deemed domiciled rules in Finance (No. 2) Act 2017 that removed protected foreign-source income from the income charge in respect of non-resident trusts settled by non-UK domiciled and certain UK deemed domiciled individuals. The changes are discussed at INTM603180 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm603180) onwards.

From 6 April 2025 the rules around the taxation of non-UK domiciled individuals ended and individuals are taxable based on their residence position only. This section on non-domiciled individuals only applies to the treatment of non-UK domiciled individuals for the years up to and including 2024 - 2025. Detailed guidance on the changes from 6 April 2025 can be found at INTM603615 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm603615) onwards.

Any issues concerning whether an individual is UK resident or UK domiciled should be determined from the separate guidance on those subjects, or by consulting the relevant technical specialist in Personal Tax International, Liverpool (see INTM604440 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm604440)).

The safety of small vessels in commercial use for sport or pleasure – a code of practice

This Code must, from the date of entry into force (12 December 2025), be used for new small vessels in commercial use for sport or pleasure.

Existing vessels that are certificated under The Safety of Small Commercial Sailing Vessels—A Code of Practice (the “Blue Code”), The Safety of Small Commercial Motor Vessels—A Code of Practice (the “Yellow Code”), The Safety of Small Vessels in Commercial Use for Sport or Pleasure Operating from a Nominated Departure Point—A Code of Practice (the “Red Code”), or their equivalent standards published in the technical Annex to MGN 280 (M) shall meet the requirements of the Code by the vessel’s next renewal examination or three years after the date of entry into force of the Code, whichever is later, except, where references to previous requirements are explicitly specified within individual sections of the Code they may comply with such requirements.

New vessels which have their keels laid, or are at a similar stage of construction, between the entry into force of MGN 280 and the date of entry into force of the Code, may be considered as existing vessels that are certificated under MGN 280; or shall meet the requirements of the Sport or Pleasure Vessel Code in full.

It should also be noted that, where any existing vessel upgrades, and phases-in, to the Sport or Pleasure Vessel Code regime, it must do so fully. A vessel cannot meet a combination of the Sport or Pleasure Vessel Code standards and those of earlier codes or standards.

This Code should be read in conjunction with SI 2025 No. 1195.

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 Sure Group 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Sure Group Ltd 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
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.

Growth Gateway: Trade and investment opportunities in North and West African horticulture
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-10)

North West Africa’s horticulture sector offers a £37 billion opportunity in cold chain logistics and financing, with strong growth potential in Nigeria, Ghana and Morocco.

This report, developed by Boston Consulting Group for the Growth Gateway programme, assesses trade and investment opportunities in North and West African horticulture, and provides actionable insights for UK and regional stakeholders.

The report profiles the market landscape, highlights cold-chain logistics and financing as priority opportunity areas. It focuses on Nigeria, Ghana and Morocco, where around half of today’s cold chain opportunity sits.

The analysis estimates the market size, highlights gaps, outlines leading organisations and barriers, and explains why UK firms currently have low visibility in the market. It recommends medium-term strategies, such as refurbished equipment and parts in West Africa, and a broader set of equipment, services and after-sales offers in Morocco, alongside indirect financing through local financial institutions, funds and fintechs.

The document also proposes high-impact actions to close information gaps and create structured connections between UK suppliers, investors and North and West African buyers and intermediaries.
