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 Telespazio Vega 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;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Telespazio Vega 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:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve 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.
4.2% pay rise for police officers across England and Wales
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-31)

Government confirms 4.2% pay increase for all police ranks up to chief superintendents. Pay boost will be backed by £120 million funding from the Home Office.

Police officers across England and Wales are set to receive an above-inflation 4.2% pay rise, the government has announced.

The increase, which applies to all ranks up to and including chief superintendents, forms part of a wider effort to support frontline policing and public protection – one of the key missions of the government’s Plan for Change.

The pay increase will mean the starting salary for a police constable will be £31,163, an increase of £1,256. The typical salary for a constable who has been in post 6 years will be £50,257 and the average earning for a chief superintendent will be £98,500. In addition to the headline pay rise, the government is also increasing on-call, away from home, and hardship allowances by £10.

The pay boost reflects the bravery, professionalism and tireless dedication of officers who protect the public, and will be supported by £120 million from the Home Office to help protect police force budgets.

London weighting will be boosted by 4.2%, reflecting the demands placed on officers in the capital.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said:

Our brave police officers work day and night, often making enormous sacrifices, to keep us safe. This government is proud to back them in doing so and today’s pay award is a clear signal of our gratitude, and our determination, to ensure they are properly rewarded for their service.

Policing is the bedrock of a secure Britain and our Plan for Change. We are committed to investing in the frontline and supporting officers who work every day to tackle crime, keep our streets safe and protect our communities.

The pay rise underscores the Home Secretary’s commitment to investing in the frontline and supporting officers, and delivering the Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee. A key part of the government’s Plan for Change, this will keep our streets safe and restore public confidence through visible, community-focused policing.

Measures in the guarantee include:
- restoring neighbourhood policing to cut crime in our communities and keep our streets safe
- named, contactable officers for every neighbourhood
- guaranteed police patrols in busy areas at peak times, such as town centres
- new career pathways and standards from the College of Policing
Making good on this commitment, the government has already provided funding of up to £1.2 billion to police forces this year, including £200 million to put an additional 3,000 neighbourhood officers by next spring.

Court and tribunal fees: updates from April 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-26)

An update on upcoming increases to selected court and tribunal fees.

In early April 2025, and subject to parliamentary approval, the Ministry of Justice will increase 171 court and tribunal fees to account for changes to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The income generated from these uplifts will help to support the efficient and effective running of His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS).

The department recovers a modest contribution towards the costs of providing HMCTS services from court and tribunal users, where they can afford to do so. The department has a history of increasing court and tribunal fees by inflation to ensure that fees keep pace with increased costs to HMCTS as a result of the general rise in prices, while at the same time minimising the cost to the taxpayer.

The majority of the 171 fees in scope will be increased by 3.2% to reflect the change in CPI between March 2023 and March 2024, with a small number of fees increased by 13.5% to reflect backdated inflation to March 2022. These fee increases are all rounded to the nearest pound. These fee changes will produce a significant level of additional funding that will go towards improving service delivery, subsidising the cost of related court and tribunal services for which we do not charge a fee, and reducing the overall cost to the taxpayer.

The Help with Fees remissions scheme remains available for those with lower financial means who are unable to afford a court or tribunal fee. More information on the scheme can be found on GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/get-help-with-court-fees).

As well as increasing fees, the department will be reducing the value of a further 24 fees to ensure they remain aligned with the latest estimate of their underlying cost.

A full list of the fee changes, including the 171 to be increased and the 24 to be reduced, can be found in the table below. The government’s intention is for the changes to go live from 8 April for applications received by courts or tribunals on or after that date. Until then, the current fees will continue to apply.

The UK does not require goods to move under transit unless the goods are moving through the UK on their way to a final destination outside the UK, for example Australia - UK - USA.

It is highly unlikely that you will be presented with transit documentation but where this does arise, see ATACPD06300

Air pollution: effects on adverse birth outcomes
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-20)

Effects of maternal exposure to ambient air pollution on adverse birth outcomes.

Given growing interest from the public and the government about the effects of air pollution on pregnancy and early life, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) requested that the Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP) undertake work on this topic. To support COMEAP’s work, DHSC approached the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Health Protection Research Unit (HPRU) on Health Impact of Environmental Hazards at King’s College London to undertake an evidence-based scoping review on air pollution and adverse birth outcomes.

Using the scoping review as a starting point, a Sub-group of the Committee undertook a programme of work to address the following questions:
- what is the strength and consistency of epidemiological evidence linking ambient air pollutants with adverse birth outcomes?
- is there evidence of biological mechanisms by which air pollutants could affect adverse birth outcomes?
- is the evidence sufficient to propose quantification of specific adverse birth outcomes associated with air pollution in the UK?
- can recommendations be identified from current meta-analyses or should new meta-analyses be undertaken?

PIM4105 - Furnished holiday lettings: overview
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-17)


The furnished holiday lettings rules cease to apply in tax years commencing on or after 6 April 2025 for Income Tax and for Capital Gains Tax, and 1 April 2025 for Corporation Tax and for Corporation Tax on chargeable gains.

Overview

Properties that meet the qualifying tests for furnished holiday lettings are charged under the property income rules.Trading principles apply to furnished holiday lettings in just the same way as they apply to other lettings. Hence the explanations given in the rest of this manual about the way receipts and expenses are dealt with apply equally to furnished holiday lettings.But furnished holiday lettings have some tax advantages over other lettings, these are set out in PIM4140 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/property-income-manual/pim4140). The major advantages under the special rules are:

Entitlement to plant and machinery capital allowances on furniture, furnishings, etc. in the let property, as well as on plant and machinery used outside the property (such as vans and tools); but there are no capital allowances for the cost of the property itself or the land on which it stands. There is more about capital allowances generally at PIM3010 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/property-income-manual/pim3010) onwards.

CGT reliefs for traders, such as rollover relief. Full guidance can be found in the CG manual, see CG73500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg73500) onwards.

The finance costs and interest restriction set out in PIM2054 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/property-income-manual/pim2054) does not apply to any loans/mortgages referable (on a just and reasonable basis) to the part of the property business that consists of furnished holiday lettings. Therefore, if the property business consists entirely of furnished holiday lettings then this restriction does not apply.

Please note however that ‘replacement of domestic items relief’ (set out in PIM3210 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/property-income-manual/pim3210)) is not available for FHLs.

A letting is regarded as a furnished holiday letting where the property is furnished and the letting meets all three qualifying tests, see PIM4110 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/property-income-manual/pim4110).

This guidance will look at the following issues:

How to decide if there is furnished holiday letting for IT or CT purposes under the current rules (2011-12 onwards)

How to decide if there is furnished holiday letting for IT purposes under historic rules (2010-11 and earlier)

How to decide if there is furnished holiday letting for CT purposes under historic rules (2010-11 and earlier)

How to calculate the profits/losses of a furnished holiday letting

How to treat losses from a furnished holiday let under the current rules (2011-12 onwards)

How to treat losses form a furnished holiday let under historic rules (2010-11 and earlier)

How the tax treatment of furnished holiday lettings differ from other residential property rentals (other than the differences already discussed in respect of losses)

There are currently no common lounges at seaports. A common lounge allows domestic, intra-EU and 3rd country passengers to mix after security checks and prior to departure. The common lounge forms part of the examination station approval, which specifies what part of an airport is subject to customs controls. It will include the departure lounges, baggage examination hall as well as the airport apron. The examination station approval is authorised by the Customs office responsible for the airport. The assurance of common lounges is a matter for the Customs office and any concerns you may have should be passed on to the appropriate Customs office.

The fish counter at the Tees Barrage only monitors the upstream migration of salmon and sea trout through the fish pass.

Additional routes exist through the:
- main barrage gates
- canoe slalom
- turbine fish pass
- navigation lock
To help fish migrate, the Environment Agency and the Canal and River Trust keep the main barrage gate open as much as possible. When it’s open, more fish migrate through this gate than through the fish pass. This may explain the lower fish counts when the main barrage gate is open.

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 New Beginnings Tiling Academy CIC 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 New Beginnings Tiling Academy CIC 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
- 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.

Environment Agency warns of invasive pink salmon threat to UK fisheries
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-28)

Anglers are urged to report catches or sightings of invasive Pacific pink salmon expected to appear in UK waters this year.

The Environment Agency has urged anglers to report catches or sightings of invasive Pacific pink salmon, which are expected to appear in UK waters this year.

In 2019 and 2021, there were numerous sightings of invasive pink salmon in UK waters and – with this species having a fixed, two-year life cycle and generally spawning in the summer – it is highly likely they will appear again in rivers this year.

The arrival of pink salmon raises potential concerns to other native species, including wild Atlantic salmon. Atlantic salmon are threatened, with numbers of the species falling dramatically due to various pressures. The invasive pink salmon is seen as an additional threat to their survival owing to their aggressive nature and potential to introduce novel fish parasites and diseases.

Pink salmon (Onchorhyncus gorbuscha) originate from the northern Pacific Ocean and can be identified by large black oval spots on their tail, a very dark mouth and tongue and they have much smaller scales than the Atlantic salmon.

The Environment Agency has a programme to deliver actions and outcomes identified within the Invasive Non-native Species Framework Strategy (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-great-britain-invasive-non-native-species-strategy) for Great Britain. The team works closely with the Non-Native Species Secretariat to monitor species, develop and promote biosecurity and deliver management programmes for aquatic invasives.

Simon Toms, National Fisheries Management Team Leader at the Environment Agency, said:

Environment Agency teams are working hard to contain and control invasive non-native species so that native fish, ecosystems and other wildlife are reduced from the damage they pose.

That is why it is crucial that the public understand the potential risks posed by this species and report the capture or sightings of all pink salmon to us, whether that be through our new reporting tool or to the EA’s national hotline.

Fisheries managers, anglers, net fishers and members of the public are requested to report any sightings or catches to the EA’s national hotline - xx-xxxx-xxxx – or use the new reporting tool (https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/1b8632f1d06c48c89bbac8901d084346) which has been developed in collaboration with Fisheries Management Scotland (FMS) and Natural Resources Wales (NRW).

This new reporting tool can be used to report any sightings or captures of pink salmon, quickly and easily. Information will then be passed to the appropriate authority for any response which may be required. The data collected will help the Environment Agency and fisheries researchers better understand how to manage the arrival of pink salmon.

Read the Pink Salmon guidance factsheet (https://anglingtrust.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Pacific-Pink-Salmon-2025-Guidance-note-Final.pdf), produced by the Environment Agency, providing all the advice needed for individuals who do come across this species.
