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 A.J. Rees & Son?s 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 A.J. Rees & Son?s 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
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- 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.

Government response on cyber governance
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-31)

The government's response to the call for views on a code of practice for cyber governance.

Good management of cyber risks is critical to the operation of modern businesses.

Digital technologies are now firmly embedded within the vast majority of businesses and organisations across the UK, regardless of size. For most, critical business operations, such as payroll and invoicing, could not happen without digital technologies. However, directors and boards often have little to no meaningful oversight over how these technologies are used and managed, despite the business critical risks if something happened to them.

Cyber incidents can lead to major impacts on businesses and organisations whether that is direct loss of income due to disruption of services, damage to customer trust following theft of personal data or intellectual property, or costly remedial action following a ransomware attack.

The proposed Cyber Governance Code of Practice sets out how company boards and senior leaders can build resilience to a wide range of cyber risks across their organisation. The code, which has been co-designed with technical experts from the NCSC and a range of governance experts across industry, focuses on the actions leaders should take to govern cyber risks effectively within their organisation.

The draft code of practice was published as part of a call for views (https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/cyber-governance-code-of-practice-call-for-views) between January and March 2024.

This document provides an overview of the responses to the call for views and key themes that emerged, as well as stating the government’s response to the feedback. This document outlines the next steps, including a commitment to publish the full Cyber Governance Code of Practice in early 2025.

This government response was published on 31 January 2025 as part of a wider government announcement on cyber security.

Military families and veterans prioritised in ‘forces first’ housing scheme
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-29)

Upcoming Defence Housing Strategy signals a fundamental shift in developing surplus MOD land, as Service families and veterans to receive priority access to homes on MOD development land as part of new ‘Forces First’ approach.

Military families and veterans will benefit from priority access to homes built on surplus Ministry of Defence land as part of a new ‘Forces First’ approach.

This approach will mean more service personnel have access to the high-quality homes and home-ownership opportunities they deserve and will form part of the upcoming Defence Housing Strategy, to be published later this year.

The Defence Secretary has identified the long-term opportunity to build over 100,000 homes on surplus defence land, improving opportunities for homeownership and creating jobs across the country.

The approach will apply to a proportion of new homes on selected surplus Defence sites, agreed between MOD, the local authority and the developer based on demand and site viability. This will include improving service family accommodation through MOD acquisition of high-quality new build properties developed on surplus defence sites, where these are needed. This ensures military families benefit directly from the construction taking place on former military land, creating investment and improvement.

The ‘Forces First’ scheme represents a fundamental shift in how surplus MOD land is developed, prioritising those who have served their country while contributing to wider national housebuilding targets.

The new approach will be tailored to each development on a site-by-site basis, including:
- Agreements with developers to offer market housing on a priority basis to military personnel and/or veterans on a ‘first dibs’ marketing basis.
- Affordable homes offered as a priority for forces personnel and veterans. This model has already been used by the GLA in London, with local authority agreement, and it can be enshrined as a condition of sale as part of a development partner approach.
- MoD acquiring high-quality new build properties developed on Defence sites to improve the level of Service Family Accommodation or Single Living Accommodation where required.
A trailblazer for this approach is already underway at MOD Feltham in South-West London, where the MOD, the London Borough of Hounslow and the GLA have agreed to adopt a Forces First approach as part of a groundbreaking partnership to develop the site. Once vacated, this new development alone is expected to deliver hundreds of homes and jobs.

The initiative builds on progress made this year in transforming military housing conditions. In April, the Defence housing Consumer Charter committed to new basic consumer rights for forces families including higher move-in standards, more reliable repairs, and a named housing officer for every family.

The Strategic Defence Review announced a record additional £1.5bn multi-year investment in military family accommodation. This funding follows January’s deal to bring 36,000 military family homes back into public ownership.

Updates and expands previously unpublished work identifying and mapping important areas for fishing activity. This project includes more recent data and additional analyses and includes the UK and non-UK 12-metre and over fleets.

Following publication of the British Energy Security Strategy, Defra commissioned MMO to model areas for future offshore wind and map important areas for current fisheries in English waters.

This current project was to further develop understanding of areas used by and important to the fishing industry, and to implement recommendations from the initial mapping and subsequent industry engagement. Analysis used a range of fishing activity metrics to describe the distribution and intensity of fishing activity and explored the location and size of important areas and how these differed by fishing gear or species.

Geospatial data is available from the Defra Data Servies Platform alongside other MMO data products. A comparison of fishing activity mapping for this project and that from the Cefas led FiSMaDiM project, part of The Crown Estate Offshore Wind Evidence and Change programme is available on request.

Handling Sensitive Information Policy Framework
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-24)

Rules and guidance on how HMPPS staff and third parties should handle and manage sensitive information related to a prisoner’s upcoming parole review.

This policy framework sets out the mandatory requirements and guidance for all HMPPS staff involved in handling sensitive information for parole eligible and recalled prisoners’ Parole Board reviews. The framework provides clear requirements and guidance for staff to enable the correct handling of sensitive information to ensure that the Parole Board is provided with all relevant risk-related information, even where the material is too sensitive to disclose to the prisoner. This is vital to the parole and recall processes.

The framework provides requirements for the process of applying to the Parole Board for victim personal statements (VPS) to be withheld from the prisoner, if requested by the victim, allowing victims and/or the victim’s family to provide information to the Parole Board without having to reveal personal information to the offender. Getting this process right is of the utmost importance to ensure transparency, provide the Parole Board with relevant risk information, while maintaining information security and allowing victims to provide their views to the Parole Board.

Research into the effectiveness of energy audits and reporting in identifying and delivering energy efficiency savings across organisations.

This research aims to understand how effective energy audits and reporting, including the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/energy-savings-opportunity-scheme-esos), have been in identifying and delivering energy efficiency savings across organisations. These reports form part of the evidence base for the Post Implementation Review (PIR) of ESOS (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/xx-xxxx-xxxx/resources).

2025 Post-Implementation Review of ESOS

The 2025 post-implementation review is based on the best available evidence as of January 2025. The evidence comes from the Phase 3 notification of compliance data published by the Environment Agency and unpublished interim data from Phase 3 action plans provided directly to DESNZ by the Environment Agency.

2020 Post-Implementation Review of ESOS

The study ran from 2017 to 2019 and included:

Phase 1
- literature and evidence review
- 25 qualitative interviews and 6 workshops with stakeholder groups
- in-depth case studies with 3 stakeholder groups
Phase 2
- telephone survey of 503 complier organisations
- 10 qualitative organisational case studies with ESOS organisations and small and medium-sized enterprises
- 33 in-depth interviews with stakeholders
- linking of ESOS compliance data with secondary data
- modelling of the energy and emissions savings attributable to ESOS
Further information on the activities in the Phase 2 report is included in the Phase 2 technical report. The data tables show results from the 2018 survey of ESOS-obligated organisations.

The research follows an earlier interim evaluation (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/energy-savings-opportunity-scheme-esos-evaluation-of-the-scheme), conducted between 2015 and 2017.

The evaluation was undertaken by Ipsos MORI Ltd in partnership with the Carbon Trust and University College London.

Linking police and health data on road collisions: feasibility study
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-27)

A feasibility study based on  a subset of ambulance service data for one area, as the first stage of a wider project with the Pre-hospital Research and Audit Network (PRANA).

This report summarises the results of a feasibility study which links the police road casualty (STATS19) data with a subset of ambulance service data provided by the South West Ambulance Service Trust (SWAST), covering the more serious incidents within the South West of England over a 4 year period.

This small-scale initial study is anticipated to be the first stage of work to link STATS19 and healthcare data, working with the Pre-hospital Research and Audit Network (PRANA) which has necessary approvals to receive healthcare data including hospital admissions and trauma care for the whole of England.

This work was initially published in September 2025, and subsequently updated, in November 2025, to reflect developments in the linkage methodology which have improved the linkage rate.

Feedback on this initial work, or suggestions for future uses of linked police and health data, is welcome to inform future work.

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 Pulse South Coast 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 Pulse South Coast 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
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve 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.

YJB statement welcoming the Rt Hon David Lammy MP as Deputy Prime Minister, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-08)

A statement from YJB Chief Executive Steph Roberts-Bibby, and Keith Fraser, Chair of the YJB, welcoming Rt Hon David Lammy MP as Deputy Prime Minister, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice

“We warmly welcome the appointment of the Rt Hon David Lammy MP as Deputy Prime Minister, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice.

“David Lammy has a long record of championing fairness, equality, and the welfare of children. His leadership of the landmark Lammy Review provided a clear focus on addressing disproportionality across the justice system and has shaped much of the debate about how justice can be made fairer and more effective.

“The Youth Justice Board shares these ambitions. Our mission is to ensure children are treated fairly, supported to fulfil their potential, and diverted from pathways that lead to future offending which can cause harm to themselves and others. We know that tackling disproportionality is central to this mission and to delivering safer communities.

“The Minister’s earlier advocacy for a public health response to serious offending by children remains as crucial today as it has ever been, and we have always endorsed his consistent support to adequately resource services that provide protection for children at risk of entering the justice system.

“At a time when there is both challenge and opportunity in the justice system, we look forward to working with the Lord Chancellor to build on this important legacy and provide the independent evidence-based advice that can shape outcomes for children, victims and communities. By drawing on the voices of children and their victims, the evidence of what works, and the strengths of local practice, we can continue to make progress in reducing disproportionality, strengthening prevention, and tackling serious offending by children, ensuring communities become safer and reducing victims.

“We look forward to a strong and constructive partnership in the months ahead.”
PAYE81515 - PAYE operation: international employments: tax years prior to 6 April 2025 – transitional provisions
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-06)


Section 690C ITEPA 2003

Section 690C deals with the application of PAYE to payments made to an employee after 5 April 2025, which relate to an earlier tax year in which section 690 applied in relation to that employee.

Where the employee worked both inside and outside the UK in a tax year prior to 2025 to 2026 and:
- the employee was non-UK resident for that tax year,
- that tax year was split year as respects the employee, or
- The employee met the requirements of section 26A ITEPA 2003 (see Employment Income Manual (EIM) EIM40103) and elected to be taxed on the remittance basis, or it appears likely to the employer that the employee has or will make such an election
then an employer making a payment of income in respect of that year may determine the amount that is PAYE income on a best estimate that can reasonably be made.

Directions issued before 6 April 2025

Any HMRC direction issued under section 690 ITEPA 2003 has no effect in relation to tax year 2025 to 2026 or any subsequent tax year. An employer will have to make a new globally mobile employee PAYE notification for any tax year commencing on or after 6 April 2025 (see PAYE81519 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/paye-manual/paye81519)).
