Fire safety of domestic upholstered furniture
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-22)

This paper comments on 6 themes associated with furniture fire safety and sets out the intentions for the implementation of a new regulatory approach.

While the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 (FFRs) have contributed significantly to protecting consumers for more than three decades, they are out of step with modern approaches to product safety and are increasingly a potential barrier to innovation and the circular economy.

This paper addresses 6 themes within the furniture fire safety policy space. It sets out the Government’s intentions for the implementation of a new regulatory approach. It highlights the challenges to address over the next 12 months, in order to finalise the reforms that will continue to protect consumers and provide the certainty businesses need to invest in this important sector. It extends to action the Government intends to take immediately, by amending the FFRs, to ensure some benefits can be delivered while decisions are taken about future policy direction.

The most recent consultation on the FFRs took place between 2 August and 24 October 2023. In the interests of transparency, a summary of the responses received was published alongside this paper.

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.

ERSM165236 - International from 6 April 2025: ascertaining chargeable and unchargeable foreign securities income - from 6 April 2025: Examples: Example 1 – Grant before 6 April 25 and employee eligible for old OWR
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


In 2023/24 Isabelle is UK-resident and meets the requirement of s26A ITEPA for all relevant years. On 6 April 2023 she begins work for a French employer based in Calais whilst remaining resident but not domiciledin the UK for tax purposes. From that date she works solely in France and performs no duties in the UK. She is awarded a long-term share incentive plan on 6 April 2023 which vests on 5 April 2028, realising a gain of £1,000. Upon vesting, a proportion of the gain will be liable to tax. s41H(2) ITEPA treats an equal amount of the Securities Income as being earned over each day of the relevant period.

The relevant period (6 April 2023 to 5 April 2028) falls wholly within tax years 23/24, 24/25, 25/26, 26/27 & 27/28. For the first 4 years, being 23/24, 24/25, 25/26 & 26/27 these are tax years in which Isabelle is UK resident and is eligible for OWR.

For the first 2 years being 23/24 & 24/25, these are tax years in which the old s41H legislation applies and as Isabelle met the requirements of s41H(7) ITEPA, any income treated as accruing during this part of the relevant period is Foreign Securities Income (FSI). For the remaining 3 years being 25/26, 26/27 & 27/28, these are tax years in which the old s41H ITEPA criteria no longer applies, so income can no longer be apportioned under s41H(7) ITEPA and will not be treated as FSI. Therefore, any income treated as accruing during this part of the relevant period is Securities Income (SI).

As a result, the whole of the income which vests on 5 April 2028 is treated as Securities Income (SI), being £1,000.

FSI includes the sum of FSI in any part of the relevant period before 6 April 2025, or any part of the relevant period on or after 6 April 2025 in which the requirements of s41H(8) or (9) ITEPA apply.

This FSI is deducted in the SI-FSI calculation in s41F(3) ITEPA. Here FSI is £400 (being £200 in 23/24 & 24/25). Therefore, the amount of Taxable Specific Income for 27/28 is £600 (£1,000 - £400).

Any chargeable FSI treated as accruing before 6 April 2025 that is later remitted to the UK will still be taxable in the UK and may be subject to Temporary Repatriation Facility (TRF) in the 25/26, 26/27 & 27/28 tax years, here this is £400 (£200 treated as accruing in each of the 23/24 & 24/25 tax years). Please see RDRM71000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm71000) onwards.

Isabelle may also be able to make an election and claim for OWR separately on any income apportioned to any part of the relevant period after 6 April 2025 in which she was eligible for the new OWR, subject to the transitional provisions. Please see EIM43555 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim43555) onwards.

Breakfast club early adopters grant: 2024 to 2025 academic year
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-27)

Guidance for schools and local authorities on funding for the breakfast club early adopter schools from April 2025.

This guidance is for:

local authorities

school leaders

school teachers

governing bodies and their representatives

The government has committed to offering a free and universal breakfast club in every primary school. The Department for Education has selected schools to become early adopters through an expression of interest process. Early adopters will work with the department to understand barriers to delivery, shape plans for national rollout, and ensure schools across the country have good practice to draw on. They have been selected to ensure a wide range of representation across different school characteristics.

Conditions of grant

This guidance sets out the terms and conditions applied to the funding for eligible institutions that are taking part in the early adopters scheme.

Methodology

This guidance will help schools and local authorities understand how the grant is calculated for April 2025 to July 2025 and how it will be paid.

Payments and allocations

Payments were made in 2 phases:
- we published allocations for the fixed payment made at the end of April 2025 for local authorities and beginning of May 2025 for academies
- we published allocations in November for the second payment in arrears made in November 2025 for local authorities and December 2025 for academies - this second payment is or has been determined by actual pupil uptake and data collected from schools between May 2025 and June 2025
Further details

If early adopter schools have any questions about delivering their breakfast club, please reach out to us via the department’s Customer Help Portal (https://customerhelpportal.education.gov.uk/).
New remote face scanning tech to monitor offenders and cut crime
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-09)

Thousands of criminals could be kept under additional surveillance by new technology to enhance how the Probation Service monitors offenders and cuts crime.

- New monitoring software to use AI to heighten offender surveillance – preventing crimes before they happen
- Pilot to help cut crime in communities by cracking down on reoffending
- Part of £8 million tech drive to make our streets safer with our Plan for Change
The government has announced that as part of a new pilot, offenders will have to answer to remote check-in surveillance on their own mobile devices. This is in addition to their tough licence conditions, like GPS tags and in person appointments with their probation officer, to make our streets safer.

The tough new measure will also require offenders to record short videos of themselves and use artificial intelligence to confirm their identity. They will also have to answer questions about their behaviour and recent activities.

Any attempts to thwart the AI ID matching or concerning answers will result in an instant red alert being sent to the Probation Service for immediate intervention, helping prevent crimes before they happen.

Lord Timpson, Minister for Prisons, Probation and Reducing Reoffending, said:

This new pilot keeps the watchful eye of our probation officers on these offenders wherever they are, helping catapult our analogue justice system into a new digital age.

It’s bold ideas like this that are helping us tackle the challenges we face. We are protecting the public, supporting our staff, and making our streets safer as part of our Plan for Change.

The pilot is being trialled in four Probation regions across England – the South West, North West, East of England and Kent Surrey and Sussex – before being considered for further rollout with additional tech add-ons, such as GPS location verification.

This technology is part of a new £8 million drive by the Lord Chancellor to enhance criminal surveillance and deliver safer streets for communities blighted by prolific reoffending.

It follows the launch of the department’s AI Action Plan (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ai-to-stop-prison-violence-before-it-happens) and recent meetings with top tech firms (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/businesses-showcase-tough-justice-tech-to-government-ministers) to explore the use of cutting-edge tools to toughen up punishment. Ideas pitched to Ministers included AI powered home monitoring and the use of synthetic brain cells to replicate the behaviour of a human nose to detect illegal drug use.

This announcement follows the introduction of the Sentencing Bill which set out plans to reform sentencing and end the prison crisis.

In the Spending Review, the government announced that the Probation Service will receive up to £700 million, an almost 45% increase in funding. This new funding will mean tens of thousands more offenders can be tagged and monitored in the community.

Minister Hardy statement in Parliament on 17 November 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-17)

Minister Hardy answers an Urgent Question on waste crime.

The British countryside is one of our nation’s greatest treasures.

From rolling hills to tranquil woodlands, it is beautiful and essential for both our wellbeing and health.

That’s why it is absolutely deplorable when waste criminals scar the landscape with complete disregard - damaging precious ecosystems and undermining our communities.

This Government is committed to tackling waste crime, which is a blight on local communities and the environment and damages legitimate businesses.

The Environment Agency has a wide range of powers which it uses in its enforcement work against organised crime in waste and other environmental areas. It has strong powers of entry and evidence gathering, it is able to authorise mobile communications data and it has authority to use covert human intelligence sources. It is one of only three non-police agencies to have access to police databases.

The Joint Unit for Waste Crime, hosted by the Environment Agency, brings together the Environment Agency, HMRC, National Crime Agency, the police, waste regulators from across the UK and other operational partners to share intelligence and tasking to disrupt and prevent serious organised waste crime.

The Environment Agency’s Economic Crime Unit targets the financial motivation behind offending and uses financial mechanisms to inhibit the ability of offenders, including Organised Crime Groups, to operate.

This Government has also increased the Environment Agency’s funding, including the amount available to tackle illegal waste operators, after years of frozen budgets and real terms cuts. We have raised the budget for waste crime enforcement by 50% this year to £15.6 million.

But this Government plans to go further still - to tighten the net on waste criminals with policy and regulatory reforms to close loopholes exploited by them. We are fundamentally reforming the waste carriers, brokers and dealers’ system, tightening waste permit exemptions and introducing digital waste tracking.

And we’re determined to clean up Britain and end the throwaway society.

CG-APP18-140 - Part 1 Accessing the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on UK Property Account: Trusts
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-01)


1.4 Trusts

Trusts that are required to report CGT on UK Property must be registered with the Trust Registration Service (TRS) before creating a CGT on UK Property Account or sending a paper return. Details on the requirements to register a trust are set out in the Trust Registration Service Manual at https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/trust-registration-service-manual .

Trustees can register for TRS at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/register-a-trust-as-a-trustee

Guidance on using TRS is available in the Trust Registration Service Manual https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/trust-registration-service-manual

Trustees should use the Organisation Government Gateway user ID and password used to access TRS and the trust Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) or Trust Registration Number (TRN) to create their CGT on UK Property Account.

Corporate trustees should request a paper return – see 1.13 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg-app18-110#Toc90369243).

There is no requirement for a UK resident trust to file a CGT on UK property return if there is no notional CGT liability in respect of a disposal.

However, trustees may choose to file a UK property return if they wish to make a claim for relief, such as private residence relief. A letter detailing the claim can be uploaded as an attachment to the online return or enclosed with the CGT on UK property paper return. If a Trust and Estate tax return is subsequently required, the reference of the CGT on UK property return where the claim was originally submitted can be provided in the ‘Additional information’ box.

1.41 Non-UK trusts

Non-UK trusts that are required to report non-resident Capital Gains Tax (NRCGT) must be registered with TRS before creating a CGT on UK Property Account or submitting a paper return.

Where trustees need to report a disposal of property or land but there is no NRCGT liability to pay, there is no requirement to obtain a trust UTR or TRN via TRS. In this circumstance, trustees can report using a paper return – see 1.13 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg-app18-110#Toc90369243).

Source: gov.uk (2025-08-13)

Dstl experts and partners will be discussing the challenge of destroying undeclared stockpiles of chemical weapons at annual conference.

What is the next step in ridding the world of chemical weapons?

This is the question the 27th Chemical Weapons Demilitarisation (CWD) conference 2025 will be asking as it celebrates past achievements while looking ahead at future challenges.

Munition venting

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) conference, supported by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), will be discussing the challenge of destroying undeclared stockpiles of chemical weapons.

It will also be exploring ways to deter and prevent the re-emergence of this kind of weapon and new technology to help in this fight.

The Head of Global Issues for the Ministry of Defence said:

“The conference is a great way of bringing together the top minds in a variety of areas and demonstrating our shared and unwavering commitment to eliminating this kind of weapon from the world.

“It is an opportunity to learn what everyone is working on with a community of experts and collaborate on a national and international level.

“We want to discover ways we, and future generations, can overcome the challenges associated with the destruction of these weapons.”

Last year’s event featured 130 delegates from 11 countries representing 45 organisations.

CWD 2025 is the main international forum for sharing knowledge and expertise as well as making valuable contacts in this area.

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 St Leger Homes of Doncaster 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 St Leger Homes of Doncaster 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
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
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.
