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 CIPHR 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 CIPHR 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
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- UK Reservists
We also pledge the following:

-Working with the CTP in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for service leavers

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.

Conflict, Stability and Security Fund: Migration annual review summaries 2022 to 2023
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-30)

This page provides 2022 to 2023 annual review summaries for the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programmes in Migration.

All Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programmes are reviewed carefully each year. These reviews assess:

technical and programme management standards including financial and risk management, value for money, conflict and gender sensitivity

contextual factors such as changes to the political environment

the outputs and outcomes during the year

Lessons learned are also identified.

An expert team conducts these reviews and include at least one team member who is independent from the programme. The team assesses at 2 levels: output (the direct result of programme activities) and outcome (the changes that these outputs deliver). Assessment scores are on a scale of 4, where outputs or outcomes meet or exceed expectations, to 1, where most targets were not met.

The CSSF team aims to publish information for all programmes. However, because some of the CSSF’s work is very sensitive, we cannot publish details of all programmes. The 2 main reasons for this are:

to protect national security

for the safety and security of beneficiaries, partners and partner governments

BIM61201 - Leasing: avoidance: assets other than land: overview
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-16)


S681C-S681DP Income Tax Act 2007, S863-S886 Corporation Tax Act 2010

Anti-avoidance legislation applies to certain arrangements for the leasing of plant and machinery and other assets (other than land or buildings).

Two types of arrangements are targeted by the legislation and these are summarised below.

Capital sums

The legislation applies where:
- a tax deduction is available in respect of a payment made under a lease of any asset other than land or buildings, and
- the payer receives or has received at any time a capital sum (see BIM61215 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim61215)) in respect of the lessee’s interest in the lease.
The amount on which relief has been obtained (or, if less, the capital sum) is subject to a stand-alone charge to Income Tax or Corporation Tax.

The legislation does not apply if the leased trading assets legislation below applies to the amount on which relief has been obtained.

See BIM61205 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim61205) - BIM61235 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim61235).

Leased trading assets

The legislation applies where:
- an asset (other than land or buildings) is sold and leased back,
- a deduction is allowed for payments under the lease in computing the profits of a trade, and
- before the sale and leaseback, the asset was used in that trade or in another trade carried on by the lessee and the asset was owned by the persons carrying on the trade in which it was then used.
The allowable deduction for payments under the lease is limited to the ‘commercial rent’ (BIM61245 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim61245)).

See BIM61240 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim61240) - BIM61250 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim61250).

What to look for

Consider the anti-avoidance legislation when examining leasing arrangements where the agreements involve any of the following:
- a high rental is payable in the first few years and a low rental thereafter; or
- the commercial rent has been inflated by sales at overvalue followed by a leaseback; or
- the lessee receives a capital sum in respect of the lease.

Knights of Saint Thomas LTD

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 Knights of Saint Thomas 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 Knights of Saint Thomas 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
- 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.
COM90020 - Payments: processing payments: the payment record
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-27)


The majority of Company Tax payments are made electronically, but where a payment is received in GBP, it is processed in accordance with the instructions in the Debt Management Manual. See COM90030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com90030) for guidance when a payment is received in any other HMRC Office.

Function VPPD (View Payment and Posting Details) provides all the information you need about payments and other accounting postings that appear on a COTAX record. It is essential that you review the payment position before taking any pursuit action.

The payments displayed on function VPPD (View Payment and Posting Details) screen D with a posting type of ‘PYT’ are:
- bank lodgement payments
- Bank Giro payments
- Girobank payments
- Bacs payments
- CHAPS payments or payment made by Faster Payment (FP) methods
- set-offs made by the CT responsible office
COTAX also processes posting types ‘RFR’, ‘RTO’, ‘LOS’ and ‘ACT’ as payments so it can calculate credit interest, debit interest, late payment interest and repayment interest. You will see ‘ACT’ postings only on CT Pay and File Accounting Periods (APs).

The payment reference number a company should use to make a payment electronically is the one provided:
- on the payslip attached to the payment application
- from the Your Tax Account Accounting Period overview screen
COTAX applies the automatic payment allocation rules to all payments unless a duty type other than ‘A’ is entered when the payment is made. The duty type will be either 'A' for Assessment or 'P' for Penalty.

The automatic payment allocation rules are shown below:

To outstanding collectible duty types in the following order
- Tax
- Penalty
- Interest
Any unallocated amount, will be allocated to tax to be dealt with as an overpayment

To outstanding collectible duty types in the following order
- Penalty
- Interest
Any unallocated amount, will be allocated to tax to await a charge

Either
- there is no AP to match the payment
- the company has not specified an AP
- there is no charge on an AP with a status of ‘Exempt’ or ‘Superseded’
If you are contacted by telephone about paying by Bacs or CHAPS, refer the call to GBP.

PM statement at press conference on the Coalition of the Willing: 15 March 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-15)

The Prime Minister's statement at a press conference on  the Coalition of the Willing.

Good afternoon.

This morning I convened the largest, strongest group of countries yet behind a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.

Now a huge amount has happened since I brought leaders together at Lancaster House here in London, just two weeks ago.

President Zelenskyy has shown once again, and beyond any doubt, that Ukraine is the party of peace.

Volodymyr has committed to a 30-day unconditional ceasefire.

But Putin is trying to delay – saying there must be a painstaking study before a ceasefire can take place.

Well, the world needs action. Not a study, not empty words and conditions.

So my message is very clear.

Sooner or later, Putin will have to come to the table.

So, this is the moment, let the guns fall silent, let the barbaric attacks on Ukraine, once and for all, stop and agree to a ceasefire now.

And let’s be clear why this is so important – Russia’s appetite for conflict and chaos undermines our security back here at home.

It drives up the cost of living. It drives up energy costs.

So this matters deeply to the United Kingdom.

That is why now is the time to engage in discussions on a mechanism to manage and monitor a full ceasefire and agree to serious negotiations towards not just a pause but a lasting peace, backed by strong security arrangements through our Coalition of the Willing.

And we won’t sit back and wait for Putin to act.

Instead we will keep pushing forward.

So the group I convened today is more important than ever.

It brings together partners from across Europe as well as Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with backing from others too – including Japan.

We agreed we will keep increasing the pressure on Russia, keep the military aid flowing to Ukraine and keep tightening the restrictions on Russia’s economy to weaken Putin’s war machine and bring him to the table.

And we agreed to accelerate our practical work to support a potential deal.

So we will now move into an operational phase.

Our militaries will meet on Thursday this week here in the UK to put strong and robust plans in place to swing in behind a peace deal and guarantee Ukraine’s future security.

President Trump has offered Putin the way forward to a lasting peace.

Now we must make this a reality.

So this is the moment to keep driving towards the outcome we want to see, to end the killing.

A just and lasting peace in Ukraine and lasting security for all of us.

Thank you.
Government opens discussions with Community Pharmacy England over 2025 to 2026 funding contract
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-28)

The consultation will set the future direction for the community pharmacy sector.

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has entered into consultation with Community Pharmacy England (https://cpe.org.uk/) (CPE) regarding the 2024 to 2025 and 2025 to 2026 funding contractual framework.

The discussions will set the future direction for community pharmacy as it plays a vital role in supporting delivery of the reforms set out in the government’s Plan for Change (https://www.gov.uk/missions).

A letter signalling the start of the consultation was sent to CPE on Monday, 27 January 2025.

Moving the focus of care from hospitals into the community is one of the 3 core shifts outlined in the 10 Year Health Plan, which will be published later this year. The government has previously outlined its ambition to make better use of pharmacists’ skills and training to deliver more services for patients within their local communities.

Minister of State for Care, Stephen Kinnock said:

Community pharmacists are at the heart of local healthcare, and they have a vital role to play as we shift from hospital to community, giving patients better access to care, closer to home, through our 10 Year Health Plan.

We have inherited a sector that is suffering from years of underfunding and neglect, but we recognise the hard work pharmacists undertake every day to deliver for patients.

I am committed to working closely with Community Pharmacy England to agree a package of funding that is reflective of the important support that they provide to patients up and down the country. I am confident that together we can get the sector back on its feet and fit for pharmacies and patients long into the future.

Janet Morrison, Chief Executive of Community Pharmacy England said:

We are relieved that discussions on the arrangements for community pharmacy are now commencing.

Community Pharmacy England will consider very carefully if the proposals that the government is putting on the table address the severity of the funding crisis in community pharmacy.

Everyone in community pharmacy shares the government’s ambition for a vibrant community pharmacy sector, playing a vital role in delivering long term health plans, but this can only be achieved if the sector is put on a sustainable financial footing.

Amanda Doyle, National Director for Primary Care for NHS England, said:

The NHS knows just how important pharmacies are to local communities - they offer people convenient care close to home which is a key ambition of the 10 Year Health Plan.

We recognise that pharmacies are under pressure, and we are committed to working with the sector and government to ensure that patients can continue to receive high-quality care building on the exceptional work of teams over the past few years to develop and expand new services for patients.
