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 Trident IES 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 Trident IES 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.

AW189 (G-FSAR), Search and Rescue operation, approx 190 nm East of Stanley Airfield, Falkland Islands, 22 July 2024

During a Search and Rescue operation a casualty was being recovered to the aircraft by rescue hoist. As the crew attempted to bring the casualty aboard, he slipped from the rescue strop and the crew could not hold him. The casualty fell into the sea and due to fuel limitations for the aircraft no further rescue was attempted.

LLM8205 - Capital gains: Names: Business Asset Disposal Relief
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-04)


Business Asset Disposal Relief, formerly known as Entrepreneurs’ Relief (TCGA92/S169H to S169V) was introduced to complement the flat rate for capital gains tax that applies to disposals taking place on or after 6 April 2008. From that date, disposals no longer attract indexation or taper relief.

This relief has the effect of charging certain gains at a lower rate of tax than the flat rate. The main conditions reflect similarities with those for retirement relief although with significant simplifications.Gains arising on or associated with the disposal of the whole or part of a business may qualify, as may certain disposals of shares or securities, but not those held in Funds at Lloyd’s. These are not ‘relevant business assets’ under TCGA92/S169L, being excluded assets under subsection (4). Detailed guidance is at CG64005.

For disposals from 6 April 2008 to 22 June 2010 gains that qualify for relief are reduced by 4/9ths.

For disposals from 23 June 2010 to 5 April 2025 gains which qualify for relief are charged to capital gains tax at a rate of 10 per cent.

For disposals occurring on or after 6 April 2025 gains which qualify for relief are charged at a rate of 14 per cent. This increases to 18 per cent for gains arising from disposals occurring on or after 6 April 2026. Finance Act 2025 includes anti-forestalling rules to counter arrangements that seek to “lock in” lower CGT rates, see CG10249 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg10249) to CG10251 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg10251).

The amount of gains that may qualify for the relief is subject to a lifetime limit which is £10,000,000 for disposals made on or after 1 April 2011.

Reducing a member’s syndicate capacity, including where this is done by reducing the number of syndicate participations within a member’s spread, is not likely to amount to the disposal of part of the underwriting business. It is instead more likely to be a disposal of an asset.
SME banking 2002 behavioural undertakings: CMA reports on banks’ compliance audits
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-03)

CMA annual assessments of compliance with undertakings given by a number of banks not to bundle loans and accounts.

In 2002, certain banks agreed that they would no longer (except in specific circumstances) make a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) customer open or maintain a business current account in order to get a business loan or deposit account. This practice is commonly known as ‘bundling’ and is prohibited by the behavioural undertakings.

In 2014, certain banks agreed to submit annual audit reports of their compliance systems and procedures to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) so it can assess compliance with the undertakings. The CMA reviews these and publishes its findings each year in the reports on compliance below.

The following banks are subject to the bundling prohibition:
- AIB Group (UK) plc (previously known as First Trust)
- Bank of Ireland
- Barclays Bank plc and Barclays Bank UK plc
- Clydesdale Bank plc’s SME Business and Branches in Scotland branded as Virgin Money
- HSBC UK Bank plc. HSBC’s non-ringfenced bank HSBC Bank plc remains subject to the Undertakings but was released from the 2014 Agreement during 2023
- Certain group companies of Lloyds Banking Group plc, formed from the merger of HBOS plc and Lloyds TSB Bank plc
- Northern Bank Limited (Danske)
- NatWest Group plc (formerly the Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc) which includes Ulster Bank Limited in Northern Ireland.
The SME banking audit reporting template and guidance (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sme-banking-audit-reporting-template-and-guidance) should be used by the banks for submitting these reports to the CMA.

To enforce compliance, we have issued directions to certain banks:
- First Trust and HSBC (the Directions to HSBC have since been replaced by the newer Directions, linked below) (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sme-banking-2002-behavioural-undertakings-directions-to-banks)
- Barclays (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sme-banking-2002-behavioural-undertakings-directions-to-barclays)
- HSBC (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sme-banking-2002-behavioural-undertakings-directions-to-hsbc)
- Natwest (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cma-issues-directions-to-natwest-about-bundling-products)
The letters we’ve written to companies in breach of the undertakings (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/cma-letters-to-companies-in-breach-of-market-investigation-orders) are also available.

Russia’s repeated use of offensive and baseless language is disrespectful and undermines diplomatic dialogue: UK statement to the OSCE
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-06)

Ambassador Holland condemns Russia’s repeated, baseless use of offensive and historically loaded language in OSCE discussions, highlighting the disrespect shown to victims of Nazi repression and the risk of trivialising genuine threats.

Thank you, Mr Chair.

The UK continues to stand with Ukraine as it defends itself against Russia’s illegal war of aggression. Since our last meeting, Russian attacks on Ukraine’s critical energy infrastructure have continued, resulting in further civilian fatalities. And President Putin continues to demonstrate that he is not serious about peace, having failed to engage in President Trump’s most recent proposals for meaningful peace talks.

Weekly, we object to this and encourage a move to the negotiating table. In return we are forced to listen to the repeated use of offensive and historically loaded terms. References to Nazism have become a fixture of Russia’s statements – including more than ten mentions during last week’s meeting alone.

Russia appears to have a very different understanding of the characteristics of Nazism than most of us in this room. For them the definition includes daring to challenge Russia’s control of historical memory. The Kremlin has cultivated this narrative for decades alongside a foundational myth of WWII as a military and moral victory of the Soviet Union, and by extension, Russia. The Kremlin narrative is that it is defending Ukrainians from Nazism. This is completely untrue for reasons I and others have made clear on previous occasions.

Mr Chair, not only is the continued use of this language factually baseless, but it is also deeply disrespectful to the victims of Nazi repression. There is also a danger in trivialising the horrors of Nazism by applying the term to any and all adversaries. It risks eroding our collective ability to identify and respond to genuine threats. This is a danger to us all, including to Russia itself.

And quite frankly, such name-calling is unbecoming of a serious diplomatic exchange. It undermines the dignity of the OSCE, is inconsistent with our Rules of Procedure, and diminishes this place as a platform for serious dialogue.

Before I conclude, I wish to pay tribute to Germany for the extraordinary efforts it has made to come to terms with its history. Germany’s commitment to remembrance, education, and reconciliation stands as a model for us all and is worthy of deep respect. They do not deserve to have this difficult part of their history trivialised by the reckless misuse of terms that carry such weight and consequence.

In closing, I appeal to Russia to cease the use of these insults within the OSCE. If you wish to use this forum for serious exchange, we urge you to desist from deploying such playground rhetoric. The OSCE is a place for dialogue. Let us restore some dignity to our discussions here.

Thank you, Mr Chair.

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.
