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 Samuel Phillips Law 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 Samuel Phillips Law 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:

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.

Home Building Fund — The PG Group
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-09)

A development loan from Homes England helped The PG Group transform a derelict site in Bristol into a vibrant new neighbourhood

The Carriageworks is a landmark brownfield site in Bristol which has been derelict for the past 30 years. A listed building, it was originally a Victorian commercial building used for the manufacture of horse drawn carriages. Having acquired the site in 2017, the PG Group proposed a place making scheme of apartments and retail units at the site in central Stokes Croft.

However, the group encountered numerous challenges in bringing the site forward, with rising construction costs, complex planning negotiations, contractor availability, high levels of remediation and a lack of funding options available in the market.

This is where Homes England stepped in, approving an initial loan to fund the development of 124 new homes and retail commercial units on the ground floor.

Assisted by close communication with the local community throughout the process, the scheme has proved an unqualified success, with all homes sold and the market square providing Stokes Croft with a new focal point.

Stuart Gaiger, Managing Director at PG Group, said:

The Carriageworks has been one of the most technically challenging sites that the PG Group has undertaken. Combining difficult ground conditions, an ambitious scheme delivering residential accommodation and a strong placemaking theme, all delivered on a brownfield site in Bristol’s busy city centre.

Given the challenges we faced, we were delighted be able to work with the team at Homes England who rapidly became valued partners. Their unique approach allowed us to deliver much needed residential, affordable housing and the community vision for placemaking aspects of the scheme.

In addition, through support from Homes England we were able to more than treble the number of affordable homes on the site.

The Modern Slavery Act 2015 (Transparency in Supply Chains) Regulations 2015 PIR: RPC Opinion (green-rated)
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-12)

Regulatory Policy Committee opinion on the Home Office's The Modern Slavery Act 2015 (Transparency in Supply Chains) Regulations 2015 PIR

The PIR (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2015/1833/resources) is a review of The Modern Slavery Act 2015, which requires commercial organisations over a certain size to produce a slavery and human trafficking statement each year which sets out the steps they have taken to ensure there is no slavery or trafficking in their supply chains or its own business, or states that they have taken no such steps. The purpose of these provisions is to provide transparency, whereby businesses monitor their supply chains with rigour, are open about their risks and how they are mitigating them, listen to their workers and act when they do find issues.

The evidence presented in the PIR provides a sufficient and proportionate basis for the Department’s recommendation to keep the regulations. The use of industry survey responses has enabled a reasonable assessment of the performance of the regulations. The PIR employs a proportionate monitoring approach, however could discuss further the small number of stakeholders surveyed. The policy has been evaluated sufficiently, with the PIR providing a reasonable discussion covering how the regulations meet the initial policy objectives, but should do more to consider the possibility of addressing unintended consequences.

The Department’s recommendation to retain the Regulations is supported by the evidence presented. The PIR demonstrates through qualitative survey evidence that the overall objectives of the policy are still being met.

The PIR is green-rated; fit for purpose.

This evaluation plan outlines the framework and methodologies that will guide the evaluation of the Local Full Fibre Networks (LFFN) programme.

Building Digital UK (BDUK) has commissioned GC Insights, Belmana and Darren Kilburn to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of waves two and three of the Local Full Fibre Networks (LFFN) programme. LFFN was a £200 million programme which aimed to stimulate commercial investment to deliver more gigabit capable digital connectivity across the UK.

The evaluation will aim to identify and value the programme’s outcomes and impacts, examine the effectiveness of its delivery models, and explore how the lessons learned can inform future digital infrastructure initiatives, including Project Gigabit. The evaluation will provide evidence-based insights to support policymaking, improve value for money, and advance the UK’s broadband strategy. The evaluation will be conducted in a phased manner through six ‘work packages’, with each focusing on a different aspect of programme delivery or impact.

This evaluation plan outlines the framework and methodologies that will guide the research. It sets out how the evaluation will be conducted, including the specific work packages, data collection methods, and analytical techniques. The document will serve as the foundation for aligning the evaluation with BDUK’s objectives.

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 Somerford Associates 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.

Reporting serious tax avoidance or evasion
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-26)

Find out about the Strengthened Reward Scheme for reporting serious tax avoidance or evasion and how to send a report.

The Strengthened Reward Scheme is for individuals who report serious tax avoidance or evasion. If you give HMRC information that helps collect a large amount of unpaid tax, you could get a financial reward.

Tax avoidance or evasion of this size normally involves:
- large companies
- wealthy individuals
- offshore or avoidance schemes
Who could get a reward

You could get a reward if the information you provide to HMRC leads to the collection of at least £1.5 million in tax. You could get between 15% and 30% of the tax collected (excluding penalties and interest).

Rewards are given at HMRC’s discretion and are not guaranteed.

Reasons you would not get a reward

You cannot get a reward if:

you are or were a civil servant (or contracted to work in the government) and got the information while you were employed

you are the taxpayer involved in the tax evasion or avoidance, or you planned and started the actions that led to the tax evasion or avoidance

the information you provide may already be known to HMRC or could have been identified through routine processes

the reward might directly or indirectly lead to funding illegal activity

you are required by law to disclose, or not disclose, the information

you are acting on behalf of someone else

you got the information from someone who would not have been eligible for a reward themselves

you are providing the information anonymously (anonymous submissions will be accepted but no payment will be made)

Even if you are not eligible for a reward, you should still report any tax avoidance or evasion to HMRC.

Before you send a report

You must not:
- try to find out more about the activity
- let anyone know you are making a report
- encourage anyone to commit a crime to get more information
Send a report

If you think a person or business is deliberately not paying enough tax, you can report this to HMRC. (https://www.gov.uk/report-tax-fraud) Any information you provide will be private and confidential and you can report it anonymously.

The report will ask you to include:
- what type of activity you are reporting (1,200 character limit)
- how you know about it
- what your relationship is to the individual or business
- how long it has been going on for
- the total value, or estimation, of the activity
- a description of any supporting information you have or know of (500 character limit)
The information you provide should be detailed and easy to understand. You cannot add attachments to the form, but you can tell HMRC if you have any when you make your report.

After you send a report

You will be notified that your report has been received. Do not make further reports on the same activity or try and contact HMRC to discuss a report — we cannot provide feedback.

HMRC will contact you if:
- more information is needed
- you are eligible for a reward
Tax investigations can take a long time to finish. There could be years between sending the report and receiving any reward payment.

Heat mortality monitoring reports
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-03)

Previous reports from 2020 to 2023 on the surveillance of mortality during periods of heatwave.

Head to the latest report, Heat mortality monitoring report, England: 2024 (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/heat-mortality-monitoring-report-england-2024) (now an official statistic).

These reports cover 2020 to 2023.

The UK Health Security Agency’s (UKHSA) heat mortality monitoring helps to provide information on deaths observed during heat episodes each year to inform public health actions.

We estimate heat-associated mortality in England using death registration data, comparing daily deaths during heat episodes with baseline daily deaths. For 2022 onwards, we also compare these observed mortality estimates with modelled estimates, which are based on the temperature-mortality relationship in previous summers.

Adverse heat events are increasing in frequency and intensity as a result of climate change. The health impacts of these events can be significant particularly for vulnerable populations.

The Adverse Weather and Health Plan (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/adverse-weather-and-health-plan) is intended to protect the population from heat-related harm to health.

Previous reports were published by Public Health England (https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20201108081248/https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/phe-heatwave-mortality-monitoring).
