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 Recycle it Global 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 Recycle it Global 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
We also pledge the following:

Employment support to members of the Armed Forces Community, through regional, national and global employment opportunities, in the areas which we operate. Communications, engagement and outreach, through events and insight days. Offering additional Health and wellbeing packages to our employees. Supporting further education and upskilling, enabling growth within our organisation.

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.

TTM10200 - Ship leasing: Sale and lease-back
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-08)


A lessor is not entitled to any capital allowances by virtue of FA00/SCH22/PARA92 (1), that is, in respect of capital expenditure incurred on a qualifying ship that is provided to a tonnage tax company under a ‘sale and lease-back’ arrangement.

Meaning of ‘sale and lease-back’

An arrangement is a sale and lease-back for this purpose if:
- a qualifying ship is owned by a tonnage tax company (or would be treated as such under CAA01/PART2) and used for the purposes of its tonnage tax trade, and then
- a transaction takes place as a result of which the finance lessor would ordinarily have become entitled to capital allowances in respect of its expenditure on the ship, and
- following that transaction, the ship is used for the purposes of the tonnage tax trade of the tonnage tax company that used to own it (or of another tonnage tax company in the same group), without being used in the meantime for the purposes of any other trade (aside from leasing).
Exception for new ships

There is an exception to the general rule on sale and lease-back in the case of a new ship, see TTM10210 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm10210).

This Statutory Instrument (SI) was relaid in Parliament on 25 March 2025. The SI now includes a Commencement provision and now specifies that these regulations come into force 21 days after the day on which they are made.

The explanatory memorandum has been updated to include a link which references planned future reforms section of the Assimilated Law Parliamentary Report June 2024 to December 2024, published by the Department for Business and Trade and laid before Parliament on 23 January 2025.

The regulations under the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 will revoke 37 instruments of secondary assimilated law and additional legacy transitional provisions, as these are now obsolete and redundant in the UK.

Independent end-to-end review of online knife sales
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-26)

A report by Commander Steve Clayman into the online sale of knives, reviewing current practices in this market.

Between 2020 and 2024 the number of violent and sexual offences involving a knife recorded by police forces in England and Wales has increased.

New and more stringent legislation has limited the availability of larger and more dangerous knives. However, advancements in technology, transport and globalisation has opened the door to new knife markets, instantly available to people through the internet.

In response to this growing threat, the Home Office commissioned an independent end-to-end review of online knife sales to look at the sale and delivery process crucial to individuals obtaining knives online.

This report aims to deliver a holistic view of the process of online sales within the UK and from abroad, taking views from key stakeholders across each area highlighting best practice and issuing recommendations on improvements.

Access Consultation Forum - terms of reference
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-07)

Responsibilities and work of qualifications regulators' forum on assessment accessibility.

We work with other qualifications regulators, awarding organisations and representative organisations through a group called the Access Consultation Forum (ACF). We have organised the ACF in partnership with the other UK qualifications regulators since being established in 2008. It meets at least twice a year to consider issues affecting, and good practice to promote, the accessibility of qualifications and assessments to disabled students.

We require awarding organisations to design their qualifications and assessments so they do not include any unjustifiable barriers to students. Qualifications and assessments should provide a valid measure of what a student knows, understands and can do regardless of any disability they may have. The Forum considers issues that affect disabled students taking regulated qualifications and National Assessments.

For more information, including a list of the organisations who attend the ACF, please see the Forum’s terms of reference.

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 Cowie UK Ltd 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 Cowie UK Ltd 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
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.
Environment Agency and climate change adaptation

Information and documents about the Environment Agency’s work on adapting to a changing climate.

The Environment Agency’s role in climate change

Climate change will significantly affect the Environment Agency’s work. We are responsible for:
- acting to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
- regulating low carbon and renewable energy schemes
- helping people and wildlife adapt to the impacts of a changing climate
We take into account the effects of severe weather and a changing climate on our daily work. We need to make sure that we:
- understand how climate change affects the environment and what this could mean for our customers – for example, the effect on water demand and the availability of water
- design our flood defences and other assets to perform effectively in a changing environment
- have the right plans in place to respond to emergencies such as floods and droughts
- provide advice, guidance and technical information so customers and partners can account for climate change – for example, how local planning authorities can use future flood allowances when assessing flood risk

Most records are kept as a double-sided A4 sheet of paper (Army Form W3066).

How to apply

Home Guard records transferred from the Ministry of Defence to The National Archives in 2024.

Big win for players as Government launches Voluntary Code for Prize Draw Operators
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-20)

New code will strengthen protections for players to mitigate against harm

- Measures includes strict credit card limits and transparency on free entry routes
- Omaze among more than 20 leading operators to sign up to the code
People entering prize draw competitions will benefit from stronger protections and greater transparency, as the Government today unveils a new voluntary code for operators.

Prize draws have exploded in popularity in recent years, with 7.4 million adults playing each year across the UK. The market is worth £1.3 billion annually. However, as these draws also offer a free entry route, they do not currently require a licence under the Gambling Act 2005.

In light of this growth, the Government is determined to ensure that players are able to enjoy prize draws safely. This Code establishes a clear set of industry standards which will help provide a uniform approach across the sector to strengthen player protections, increase transparency and improve accountability of prize draw operators.

The prize draw voluntary code includes:
- A £250 monthly cap on credit card entries for prize draws - and complete ban on credit card entries for all instant-win competitions
- A commitment to ensure free entry routes are sufficiently publicised and accessible to all
- New measures for operators to identify and mitigate against harm, including signposting to support where necessary
The Voluntary Code of Good Practice for Prize Draw Operators can be viewed in full here (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/voluntary-code-of-good-practice-for-prize-draw-operators).

More than 20 leading operators, including Omaze, Best of the Best and Raffle House have agreed to sign up to the code following extensive consultation between the sector and Government. Signatories will have six months to implement the code’s provisions.

Gambling Minister Baroness Twycross said:

Millions of people enjoy entering prize draw competitions every year, and they should be confident that reasonable protections are in place. Thanks to the introduction of this code, that will be the case.

I want to thank all of the operators who have already signed up, both for their cooperation in developing the code, and their commitment to following it moving forwards.

Omaze president James Oakes said:

Omaze is proud to be a founding signatory of the new Code of Conduct. As the UK’s largest prize draw operator, we’ve consistently set industry-leading customer safeguards, whilst raising over £100 million for charities across the country.

As more and more companies offer prize draws, we welcome DCMS’s introduction of this Code and look forward to all operators committing to the same high standards.
