Leigh Ingham:To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will continue funding the Women’s Integrated Sexual Health Programme, implemented by MSI Reproductive Choices and IPPF. \p Stephen Doughty: The UK is proud to defend and promote universal and comprehensive Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). Official Development Assistance (ODA) is one of multiple levers to achieve this. Over the coming months, we will work through how the ODA budget will be used in future years, informed by internal and external consultation and consideration of equalities impact assessments ahead of making decisions on budgets for individual programmes in the autumn.

The transition to spending 0.3 per cent of Gross National Income (GNI) on ODA requires significant shifts in the shape and scale of the work we do. However, we will continue to work with international and national partners and use targeted funding, technical partnership and diplomatic engagement to provide leadership on SRHR.

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 British Legion Scotland 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 The Royal British Legion Scotland 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:

Tax credits: dispute recovery of an overpayment (TC846)
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-12)

Use the online form if HMRC has paid you too much tax credits and you think you should not have to pay it back.

Tell HMRC if you’ve received too much tax credits and do not think you should have to pay it back because you met your responsibilities and they did not meet theirs.

You must be able to show that HMRC made a mistake, or gave you incorrect advice, and it was reasonable for you to think your payments were right.

Before you start

Read Tax credits: appeals and complaints (https://www.gov.uk/tax-credits-appeals-complaints/dispute-tax-credits-overpayment) before filling in the form to make sure you can dispute your tax credit overpayment.

You’ll need the following information to fill in the form:
- why you’re disputing the overpayment
- your National Insurance number (you can find this on your payslip, P60 or tax return)
- your partner’s National Insurance number, if the overpayment was made on a joint claim
You should also include details of when you contacted us, and what happened if you told HMRC:
- your personal circumstances on your award notice were wrong or incomplete
- your payments did not match your award notice
Phone the Tax Credit Payment Helpline (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/contact/tax-credits-payment) if you need more time to pay a Tax Credit overpayment.

Applying online

To tell HMRC, you’ll need to sign in. If you do not already have sign in details, you’ll be able to create them.

If you use the online form, you’ll get a reference number that you can use to track the progress of your form.

Applying by post

You’ll need to fill in the form fully before you can print and post it. You cannot save a partly completed form so you should gather all your information together before you start.

If you are using an older browser, for example Internet Explorer 8, you’ll need to update it or use a different browser. Find out more about browsers (https://www.gov.uk/help/browsers).

What happens next

The UK unequivocally condemns the appalling erosion of women and girls’ rights in Afghanistan: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-10)

Statement by Ambassador Archie Young, UK Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on Afghanistan.

Today, I will focus on three of the key points that were raised by our briefers: first, on the appalling erosion of rights in Afghanistan, secondly, on the dire humanitarian situation, and thirdly, on how the UN process can drive progress.

Today, as we observe International Human Rights Day, the promise of universal rights in Afghanistan remains tragically unfulfilled.

Over the four years of the Taliban’s rule, repression has intensified. Over a hundred edicts have systematically eroded the rights of Afghan women and girls. Girls cannot attend school after the age of 12, and for more than three months, the Taliban has banned women from working at UN offices.

The UK Government unequivocally condemns this appalling erosion of women and girls’ rights, and we urge its immediate reversal.

In October, UK officials travelled to Kabul to press the Taliban to reverse these barbaric decrees.

The international community must unite against the Taliban’s assault on human rights. We must not abandon half of Afghanistan’s population.

Second, the humanitarian situation. As winter approaches, the humanitarian needs in Afghanistan remain dire. As today’s briefers set out, in 2026, an estimated 21.9 million people – 45 per cent of the Afghan population – will require humanitarian assistance.

The UK continues to work to support the country’s most vulnerable, especially women and girls. We remain a major donor, allocating up to $201 million in the financial year of 2025/26 for vital life-saving and basic services.

We are deeply concerned by the deteriorating food security and nutrition situation as evidenced by the recent IPC forecasts. In the context of reducing funding for Afghanistan, we collectively must do everything possible to ensure life-saving assistance is available to the most vulnerable.

And third, the UN process. The UK continues to engage with the UN-led process, including the “Comprehensive Approach.” Strong UN leadership is essential to drive this process forward, and we therefore hope to see the next SRSG at the earliest opportunity.

However, our support for the Comprehensive Approach depends on the Taliban taking meaningful steps and adhering to their international obligations, especially those related to counter terrorism and the rights of women and girls.

As our Foreign Secretary recently said, ‘there cannot be peace, security or prosperity without women playing their part, free from violence and free from fear’.

That is the principle which must underpin Afghanistan’s future.

PAYE12080 - Coding: coding deductions and expenses: underpayment restriction
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-07)


When an underpayment of tax is coded out, the system calculates an underpayment restriction based on the rate of tax the individual is liable at the primary employment. The system uses the individual’s rate of liability to calculate the restriction. In cases where the inclusion of the underpayment restriction means that the individual’s liability straddles the rate bands, an appropriate restriction will be calculated to take into account the ‘straddling’.

When an end of year tax calculation results in an underpayment and the underpayment is less than £3,000, the underpayment will be automatically included in the tax code. If the underpayment cannot be coded out because of insufficient income then the following will happen.

For tax years up to an including 2015 to 2016

Where the underpayment is from an NPS reconciliation, up to two voluntary payment letters will be automatically issued by the system. If the individual hasn’t paid the outstanding amount after the second letter has been issued NPS will
- Send the underpayment to SA. If there is an SA record it will be reactivated. If the individual does not have an SA record one will be created
- Create work item 236 if there isn’t an SA record or one has not been created.
If the underpayment is rejected by SA, work item 236 is also created.

Further instruction about the work item is in action guide tax36046 WI236.

Where the underpayment is an SA underpayment, work item 093 is created (Action guide tax36046 WMI093).

For tax year 2016 to 2017 and onwards

The system will issue a Simple Assessment calculation, and the underpayment will be collected through the Simple Assessment process. Further information can be found at PAYE96301 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/paye-manual/paye96301)

EXPP3060 - International trade developments: what is an Economic Operator Reference and Information (EORI) number?
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-24)


This manual will be archived on 15 December 2025. If there is content within this manual you use regularly, email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know.

An EORI number is recognised and verifiable throughout the EU.

The use of a trader's EORI is mandatory for all export declarations. The EORI consists of up to a 15 digit registration number (without spaces) including a suffix of three zeros, and prefixed with a country code eg GB123456789123000 except as follows: exporters currently using an EORI for imports for one or more addresses should use the same EORI suffix for exports providing those exports are made from the same address

Economic Operator Registration and Identification Scheme (EORI)

The European Commission introduced the EORI scheme to enable the security measures introduced by The Security Amendment (Council Regulation 648/2005) and its Implementing Provisions to be more effective.

This unique number is used by Economic Operators (EOs), for example, on the provision to the customs authorities of pre arrival and pre departure information on all goods entering and leaving the customs territory of the community and for the import, export and transit of third country goods. In addition it is used for the exchange of information between the customs authorities as well as between other authorities for example other government departments but only in respect of the movement of goods involving a customs procedure.

Are all Economic Operators (EOs) eligible for an EORI number?

The legislation restricts the issue of an EORI number to a legal entity - sole proprietor, partnership, company or individual. It therefore cannot be allocated to individual branches or divisions within a legal entity. Only one number can be issued per legal entity.

Economic Operators (EOs) involved in customs activities who are established in the customs territory of the Community, shall be registered by the customs authority of the Member State in which the EO is established.

EOs not established in the customs territory of the community shall be registered by the customs authority of the Member State where the EO first lodges a declaration or applies for a decision other than:
- lodges in the community
- a customs declaration made for the temporary import procedure.
How the EORI number is structured

All UK Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) numbers will start with the letters GB. Most will then be followed by a 12 digit, in some cases a 15 digit, number based on the Economic Operator (EO's) VAT number for example GB 123 4567 89 000. This will mean that over 98% of existing TURN holders will have EORI which are exactly the same as their current TURN.

The structure of the UK EORI number will also be the same for EOs who are not registered for VAT in the UK or are not established in the customs territory of the community.

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 Mighty Creatives 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 Mighty Creatives 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.
