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 Q-Mass Limited 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 Q-Mass Limited 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 Reservists
- 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.

There needs to be a lasting and just peace with Ukraine’s voice at the heart of any talks: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-24)

Statement by Ambassador Barbara Woodward, UK Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine.

Today marks the third year of President Putin’s full-scale invasion, forced on the Ukrainian and Russian people, in clear breach of the UN Charter.

So first of all today, of all days, we pause to remember and honour the victims of this war. Those who have lost their lives, their homes, their futures, their limbs, their childhoods, family members and friends. Millions who have been displaced, tens of thousands who have lost their lives.

They’ve lost schools, playgrounds, farms, churches, hospitals.

While Russian forces have used rape, torture and execution as weapons of war and put nuclear safety at risk.

This is a war that Putin said would take three days.

Three years on, Ukrainians have paid a terrible price.

And the impact of this war is not limited to Ukraine.

Hunger, poverty and energy insecurity have increased worldwide.

So second, as we look forward to peace, let’s be clear, no country wants peace more than Ukraine. Ukraine is more than ready for this war to end.

But there needs to be a lasting and a just peace, with Ukraine’s voice at the heart of any talks.

A peace that is not just a pause in fighting but a peace that leaves Ukraine secure and free from Russian attack. A peace that shows that aggression does not pay. And a peace that ends forever Putin’s imperialist ambitions.

And we have to remember that Putin by contrast, only wants capitulation.

So if Russia is allowed to win, we will live in a world where might is right, where borders can be redrawn by force, where aggressors think they can act with impunity. The consequences for peace and security around the world are dire.

So third then, a lasting peace must come from strength.

Strength and courage that Ukraine has shown abundantly in the last three years.

But that strength and courage needs to be underpinned by robust security agreements from the outset because Putin has repeatedly shown that he will break a weak deal.

He has long denied Ukraine’s right to exist as a free state.

So the UK, with our European partners and the United States, will work closely together for Ukraine and Europe will continue to take responsibility for our continent’s security.

The UK is ready to play a leading role to support Ukraine in its right to self-defence. To support the negotiation and implementation of a peace agreement, a just and lasting peace agreement, which protects Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, its internationally recognised borders, in line with the UN Charter.

Judicial Summary

Environmental Information Regulations 2004 – appellant’s information request was in form of “any documents or correspondence held by [the public authority] in relation to” a particular site where demolition works had taken place, followed by 11 particular documents (or categories of documents) of which the appellant was aware at the time – the Upper Tribunal holds that the information request was not restricted to the 11 items, as their presence in the request did not restrict the plain meaning of the opening words of the request – the First-tier Tribunal (FTT) erred in law in holding otherwise – however, the error was not material in relation to some of the information requested, because, in respect of these, the FTT would have been bound to conclude that disclosure was not required, even if it had not erred, due to the availability of other exceptions to the requirement to disclose – this was due, in the case of some information, to substantial similarity with other parts of the FTT’s reasoning, regarding regulation 12(5)(b) (exception where disclosure would adversely affect ability to conduct inquiry); and in the case of some other information, it was because the information was publicly available in another format (regulation 6(1)(b)). However, in the case of one piece of information, which was not held at the time of the request (exception in regulation 12(4)(a)), but came to be held before the public authority’s reconsideration decision under regulation 11, the FTT had not turned its mind to the public interest balancing test as regards that exception (as was required by regulation 12(1)(b)).

The Upper Tribunal holds that the FTT would not have been bound to resolve the competing public interests in favour of maintain the exception for documents not held at the time of the request, and so the FTT’s error, in treating that particular information as outwith the information request, was material. Appeal allowed to that extent and the matter remitted to a fresh panel of the FTT for determination.
Penalties for a failure to correct certain offshore tax non-compliance
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-18)

The current list of people found liable to a penalty for failing to correct their offshore tax non-compliance during the required period.

HMRC may publish information about a person if:
- they had relevant offshore tax non-compliance at the end of 2016 to 2017 which they were aware of and failed to correct within the required period (6 April 2017 to 30 September 2018)
- the offshore potential lost revenue (PLR) in relation to the penalty, or the aggregate of the offshore potential lost revenue in relation to each of the penalties, exceeds £25,000, or
- the person has incurred five or more relevant penalties regardless of the total PLR
The law that allows this is paragraph 30 (1) of schedule 18 to the Finance (No2) Act 2017.

We will publish enough information to identify:
- the person
- the penalties charged for their failure to correct
- the amount of offshore tax lost on which those penalties are based
The information will only be published once the penalties are final. If there is more than one penalty involved, this will be on the latest day when any of the penalties becomes final.

A penalty becomes final on either:
- the day after the end of the appeal period if the person doesn’t make an appeal
- the date when the appeal is finally determined
- the date when a contract settlement is made
The law requires that those details published about a person are removed no later than 12 months from the date we first publish them.

The information may not be published if the amount of the penalty is reduced to the minimum permitted amount (100% of the offshore PLR) to reflect the quality of the disclosure made by the person or is reduced to nil because of special circumstances.

The lists of persons charged a penalty for their failure to correct their offshore tax non-compliance during the required period will not be captured for The National Archives.
Business Appointment Rules for ministers
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-13)

For a period of two years after leaving office, former ministers must apply to the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards for advice before taking up a new appointment or role outside government.

Before you take up any new paid or unpaid appointment outside of government within two years of leaving ministerial office, you must apply for advice from the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/independent-adviser-on-ministers-interests).

This is set out in the Ministerial Code (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ministerial-code), and in the letters each minister receives from their permanent secretary and the Independent Adviser on leaving office.

The Business Appointment Rules for former ministers seek to counter suspicion that:
- the decisions and statements of a serving minister might be influenced by the hope or expectation of future employment with a particular firm or organisation; or
- an employer could make improper use of official information to which a former minister has had access; or
- there may be cause for concern about the appointment in some other particular respect.
Separately, former ministers also need to ensure they comply with the rules set out by the Office of the Registrar of Consultant Lobbyists (https://registrarofconsultantlobbyists.org.uk/guidance/compliance-with-the-act/), and, where relevant, the Code of Conduct and Rules of the House of Commons (https://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/standards-and-financial-interests/parliamentary-commissioner-for-standards/code-of-conduct-and-rules-of-the-house/) or House of Lords Code of Conduct (https://www.parliament.uk/business/lords/whos-in-the-house-of-lords/house-of-lords-members-conduct/).

There are different Business Appointment Rules for other Crown servants (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/business-appointment-rules-for-crown-servants) (for example, civil servants).

The latest list of approved software for the production of non domestic Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs).

The latest list of approved software for the production of non domestic Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), Display Energy Certificates (DECs) and Air Conditioning Inspection Reports (ACIRs).

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive has been implemented into law via the Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2012 (as amended) (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2012/3118/contents/made) in respect of sales and lettings, and in regulation 24 of the Building Regulations 2010 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2010/2214/regulation/24) in respect of the duty on construction.

Regulation 24 of the Building Regulations 2010 requires the Secretary of State to approve a National Calculation Methodology (NCM) for calculating the energy performance of buildings.

All software that is used to assess the energy performance of buildings must be validated to ensure that it operates in a manner, and to a standard, consistent with the NCM before it can be approved by the Secretary of State.

In respect of ACIRs the software is approved as fit for commercial use in its current state and form to generate an inspection report.

Lymington flood defences to be strengthened with repairs
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-03)

The Environment Agency will carry out essential maintenance on Lymington's Toll Bridge Road floodgate this November.

Residents in Lymington will benefit from improved flood protection following essential maintenance work at the town’s floodgate on Toll Bridge Road this November.

The Environment Agency will replace the floodgate’s sill plate, which has become loose over time. The new concrete construction will be more durable and better able to withstand heavy traffic, ensuring the floodgate continues to protect homes and businesses for years to come.

The team will also repair the valve system that controls tidal water flow, which was damaged during storms last year, and fix sunken road surfaces behind the floodgates.

Work begins on Monday 10 November and is expected to finish by Saturday 15 November. During daytime hours, the road will be reduced to a single lane with traffic lights. Overnight between 7pm to 7am, the road will be closed completely. Residents should expect delays and plan their journeys in advance. For more, see the interactive roadworks map (https://myjourneysouthampton.com/traffic-and-travel-info/interactive-roadworks-map/).

Artur Podsiadly, project manager at the Environment Agency, said:

We understand this work will cause inconvenience, and we apologise for the disruption. We’ve worked closely with Hampshire Highways to minimise the impact as much as possible, including completing the work within six days.

These repairs are essential to keep Lymington’s flood defences working effectively. When we’re finished, residents will have a stronger, longer-lasting system protecting their community.

This is the first of two phases of improvement work. The second phase, which will involve replacing the tidal gate mechanisms, is planned for early 2026. The Environment Agency will provide more details closer to the time.

For updates during the works, please contact xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

Background

Lymington is at risk of flooding when high river levels coincide with high tides, which can cause the river to overtop its banks.

The floodgate was installed in 2008 as part of the Lymington Flood Alleviation Scheme (FAS), a wider project to protect the town from flooding.

The gate is designed to operate during major flood events. Since installation, the gate has been closed several times as a precautionary measure but was last needed operationally during the severe winter floods of 2013/14.

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the gate remains fully operational and ready to protect the community when required.
