UNOCA’s role in early warning, preventive diplomacy and regional coordination is more vital than ever: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-09)

Statement by Ambassador James Kariuki, UK Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on UNOCA.

First, the United Kingdom welcomes Gabon’s continued progress toward democratic governance and commends SRSG Abarry’s support for a credible, inclusive and transparent transition.

The peaceful conduct of the April 2025 presidential elections was a positive step and we are encouraged by Gabon’s readmission to the African Union. The legislative and senatorial elections in September will be an important milestone.

And we encourage the government of Gabon to remain committed to transparency and due process as they look to deliver for the Gabonese people.

Second, the United Kingdom remains concerned by ongoing violence in Cameroon’s North-West and South-West regions and its impact on civilians. We note that UNOCA is well-placed to support a Cameroonian-led dialogue and resolution to the conflict.

We also note that the long-standing crisis in the Lake Chad Basin is affecting Cameroon’s Far North region, with government forces fighting Boko Haram and Islamic State.

Given the cross-border nature of this threat, we urge greater regional cooperation through the Lake Chad Basin Commission and the Multinational Joint Task Force.

Third, we recognise the completion of Chad’s political transition. We welcome the increased representation of women and the increased diversity of the National Assembly.

But we note concern at reports of corruption, harassment and the intimidation of opposition parties during the electoral process. We urge Chad to increase political and media freedoms to ensure a more peaceful, pluralistic, and transparent democracy.

Finally, President, the United Kingdom maintains its steadfast support for the work of UNOCA and its good offices. UNOCA’s role in early warning, preventive diplomacy, and regional coordination is more vital than ever.

We encourage continued collaboration with ECCAS and other regional actors to address cross-border threats and promote sustainable peace for the region.

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 The Royal NAAFI 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 The Royal NAAFI 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
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.
MOD trade, industry and contracts: 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-06)

Information on Ministry of Defence spending with industry and commerce.

This bulletin provides figures on the composition and scope of the department’s expenditure, information on the impact of defence spending on the wider economy, and compares the MOD’s spending to that of other departments and other countries.

Revisions

A scheduled revision of 2024’s Trade, Industry and Contracts bulletin was made in March 2025. This provided an update on the latest UK Defence and Security Export statistics (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/uk-defence-and-security-exports-statistics) which were unavailable at the time of initial publication.

An update has been provided on the percentage of MOD’s direct expenditure with UK industry going to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). Data previously presented figures for 2022/23 as the latest year of reference. Updated information for 2023/24 was released in November 2024 as part of MOD’s Regional Expenditure with Industry (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/mod-regional-expenditure-statistics-with-industry-202324/mod-regional-expenditure-with-industry-202324#mod-expenditure-with-small-and-medium-sized-enterprises) bulletin, and the amendment to this report brings the reporting year referenced across both publications in line with one another for consistency.

In the same revision, the competition and SME status of newly-placed contracts in 2023/24 were also reassessed to address issues on the late reporting of contracts. This update uplifted the total value of all new contracts placed in 2023/24 by 3%. There was a negligible change on the number of contracts placed which fell by less than 1%.

VMD launches call for evidence on the Medicines and Medical Devices Act as it applies to Veterinary Medicine
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-31)

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate is seeking views from stakeholders to inform future reform of the UK's veterinary medicines regulatory framework.

The VMD has today, 1 September 2025, launched a call for evidence on the Medicines and Medical Devices Act 2021 as it applies to the regulation of veterinary medicines.

The review will examine the structure of the Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2013 and consider whether restructuring or consolidation would improve clarity and implementation. The VMD wants to evaluate whether the current legislation effectively protects animal and public health while avoiding unnecessary regulatory burden.

The UK Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2013 were originally derived from EU legislation which was transposed into UK law. The Medicines and Medical Devices Act 2021, provides the primary powers that enable the UK to update and amend this legislation.

The review is a statutory obligation under the Medicines and Medical Devices Act 2021 which requires the government to assess the operation and impact of the legislation at least once every five years.

Who can submit evidence?

Anyone may respond to this call for evidence. Those who may have a particular interest include:
- Veterinary medicines marketing authorisation holders, manufacturers and wholesale distributors
- Vet surgeons, vet nurses, vet pharmacists and suitably qualified persons (SQPs)
- Farmers and other professional keepers of animals, and feed business operators
- Pet owners
Stakeholders are invited to share their views and experiences of the regulations, providing responses with specific examples where possible. The evidence gathered will inform potential future reforms to ensure the regulatory framework remains fit for purpose.

How to submit evidence

Our preferred way of receiving responses is through the Citizen Space platform (https://consult.defra.gov.uk/vmd-policy-development-and-delivery-office/mmd-act-2021-stakeholder-survey/).

If you are unable to use Citizen Space, you can download the call for evidence documents and return your response via email to xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

The call for evidence will run for 4 weeks and closes at 23:59 on 26 September 2025. Any responses received after this date will not be analysed.

ETASSUM42210 - Schedule 4 Company Share Option Plan (CSOP): Eligibility of individuals to participate: The employment requirement: Death of an option holder
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-03)


Although Schedule 4 CSOP options must not be transferable, a permissible exception is that the scheme rules may allow the option to be exercised if the option-holder has died. Exercise by either the personal representatives or by the beneficiaries of the estate is acceptable.

A provision for option exercise triggered by the death of the option-holder is optional to include in plans. Where it is included, however:
- the length of the option exercise period is a fixed twelve month period from the date of death regardless of any other option exercise provision in the plan (that includes the 'no exercise more than 10 years after grant' provision) (paragraph 25)
- the one exception to this is where a plan contains an exercise provision on a company winding-up when a 12 month option exercise period may be impossible to provide
- the option does not have to be exercised in full; the amount can be pro-rated
When the shares are subsequently sold by the personal representatives or beneficiaries there will be a charge to capital gains tax based on the sale proceeds less the market value of the option at the date of death, less the (option) price paid by the personal representatives to acquire the shares on option exercise. There is no charge to income tax upon the exercise of the option by the personal representative, even if this occurs within 3 years of the date of grant.

Example calculation of CG on death of oprion holder

1/6/2013

Option granted over 10000 shares with exercise price of £1 per share

1/2/2015

Option-holder dies
- value of a share is £1.50
- value of the option is £5,000 (value of shares at death less exercise price x number of shares: £1.50 minus £1 multiplied by 10,000 equals £5,000)
1/10/2015

Option exercised by personal representatives
- shares sold by personal representatives for £18000 (£1.80 each)
- 2015/16 Calculation of Capital Gain
- disposal proceeds £18,000
- less expenditure:
- value of option at death: £5,000 plus cost of shares: £10,000
- chargeable gain: £3000

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.
