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 Beacon Counselling Trust 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 Beacon Counselling Trust 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 Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
We also pledge the following:

Advocate: we will advocate the needs of the armed forces community, and their families, as part of our service values and charitable purpose.

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.

HM Revenue & Customs (NMWM02030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-minimum-wage-manual/nmwm02030)) enforces and polices the National Minimum Wage using specialist teams.

NMW Risk Profiling Team

The primary function of the NMW Risk Profiling Team is to select Targeted Enforcement cases for investigation by NMW Caseworkers, and assess and decide what Third Party Intelligence should be pursued. It provides a focal point for collaborative working with other parties and will provide advice and guidance on a number of issues including those relating to information disclosure.

NMW Compliance Teams

There are NMW Compliance Teams located around the United Kingdom whose role is to investigate all National Minimum Wage complaints referred from the NMW Risk Team. They seek voluntary compliance with National Minimum Wage legislation and have the authority to take appropriate enforcement action when necessary. In addition, they also undertake proactive compliance activity within their locality.

The NMW Compliance Teams also routinely give advice and guidance on National Minimum Wage as part of their work.

These specialist teams fall under National Minimum Wage Operations. See their Home Page.

Once the response to the Exchange of Information (EOI) has been received the person will be aware of the exchange of information with the Swiss. You may well decide that the most constructive way forward is to discuss this directly with the person.

If the person refuses to cooperate, you will need to consider obtaining detailed statements of the bank account you have been made aware of. You should now have sufficient evidence to approach the person with a formal request under Paragraph 1 Schedule 36 for bank statements for the relevant period under their power or possession. If the person continues to deny the existence of the account without further justification, the EOI response will provide compelling evidence in support of your position at any subsequent tribunal.

If the request is successful you must keep a record of the additional yield.

TTM03810 - Qualifying companies and ships: Strategic management
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-03)


Strategic management

The strategic management test displays features in common with the central management and control test for corporate residence, operating at a high level of decision making, including:
- decisions on significant capital expenditure and asset disposals (for example purchase and sale of ships),
- award of major contracts and other resource commitments,
- agreement on strategic alliances (for example shipping ‘conferences’ - see TTM15210 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm15210) - and vessel pooling), and other strategic decisions, and
- direction of foreign establishments.
Possible factors include:
- location of headquarters, including senior management staff,
- location of company board meetings,
- location of operational board meetings,
- location of vessels' flag registries, and
- residence of directors and key employees.
Strategic management will be in the United Kingdom if the UK directors and key personnel have effective independent power to make strategic decisions, genuinely and not just formally: their power over the affairs of the company must not be delegated.

The directors and key personnel may need to take account of guidance from the parent company reflecting overall group policy but nevertheless must form an independent judgment on strategic management rather than merely acting as a rubber stamp for decisions made elsewhere. This means they form their own independent judgments as to strategy but where appropriate taking account of comments made by the parent company in relation to the objectives of the group as a whole.

Particular issues arise with a permanent establishment in the UK. To satisfy the strategic management test it would be necessary to demonstrate that the business of the establishment was strategically managed in the UK, distinctly from the other affairs of the company. Ultimately this is a factual question based on evidence.

The situs of strategic-level management is thus a question of fact and while, as recognised in company residence case law the place of board meetings is an important factor, the answer to the question is subtle and depends on all the surrounding circumstances. It follows that if the arrangements for board meetings are disrupted by an international emergency, the answer to the place of management question does not change by virtue of that circumstance alone.

British Army returns from NATO exercise as UK strengthens alliance deployment capabilities
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-30)

The UK’s commitment to NATO and ability to respond at pace and at scale strengthened as the British Army successfully returns from Exercise Steadfast Dart

The UK’s commitment to NATO and ability to respond at pace and at scale has been strengthened as the British Army successfully returns from Exercise Steadfast Dart – the largest NATO deployment this year, so far.

Hundreds of military vehicles and equipment from 7 Light Mechanised Brigade Combat Team will arrive back in the UK through the Port of Immingham, the first operational use of a new strategic agreement between the British Army and Associated British Ports (ABP).

This new agreement allows the UK Armed Forces to use multiple ports across the country, enhancing flexibility in deploying and bringing home military assets. Previously only being able to use the to the Sea Mounting Centre at Marchwood, this new approach delivers significant strategic advantages, reducing transit times, improving efficiency, and enabling a faster and more sustainable military response in support of NATO operations. It’s another example of the government ensuring that the UK is secure at home and strong abroad for decades to come.

The UK supplied the largest contribution of forces to exercise Steadfast Dart with over 2600 personnel, and 730 vehicles deploying to NATO’s eastern flank, reaffirming the UK’s unshakeable commitment to our NATO allies. 730 vehicles including Foxhound and Jackals were deployed by road, air, and sea to Eastern Europe where they conducted two exercises reinforcing the alliance’s eastern flank.

Minister for the Armed Forces, Luke Pollard said:

The success of Exercise Steadfast Dart demonstrates the strength of NATO’s collective defence and the UK’s unwavering commitment to the Alliance.

The ability to deploy and recover our forces more efficiently is a game-changer, ensuring we remain ready to deter and respond to threats at pace and continue to make Britain secure at home and strong abroad for decades to come.

The arrival of the MOD’s strategic RO-RO vessel, Eddystone, at the Port of Immingham this weekend, marks a major step forward in the UK’s ability to deploy at pace and at scale globally. The use of additional port infrastructure strengthens military readiness and enhances the UK’s contribution to NATO’s rapid response capabilities.

The successful completion of Exercise Steadfast Dart reaffirms the UK’s role as a leading NATO ally, ready to respond rapidly to emerging threats and contribute to the security of Europe and the wider world.

Steadfast Dart was an exercise which included the deployment of the new Allied Reaction Force, which can rapidly reinforce NATO’s eastern flank. These important exercises showcased the Alliance’s readiness, capability, and commitment to defend every inch of NATO territory.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is investigating suspected infringements of consumer law in relation to the presentation of mandatory fees by TICKETBIS S.L. (trading as StubHub via www.stubhub.co.uk) to UK consumers.

Case timetable

Case opening

17 November 2025: The CMA has opened an investigation into compliance with consumer protection law by TICKETBIS S.L., trading as StubHub via www.stubhub.co.uk.

The CMA is investigating TICKETBIS S.L. over its presentation of mandatory fees, specifically whether these fees are included in the total price the consumer sees at the beginning of the purchase process.

The CMA will now engage with TICKETBIS S.L. and gather evidence to consider whether the CMA thinks the company has infringed consumer protection law.

At this initial stage, it should not be assumed that TICKETBIS S.L. has infringed consumer protection law and no finding has been made.

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 Langley School 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 Langley School 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
- 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.
