UK-India Free Trade Agreement: RPC Opinion (green-rated)
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-24)

Regulatory Policy Committee opinion on DBT's UK-India Free Trade Agreement IA

In September 2020, the then Secretary of State for International Trade asked the RPC to provide independent scrutiny of the Government’s international Free Trade Agreement Impact Assessments (FTA IAs). As with our opinions on regulatory impact assessments, we offer commentary on the quality and robustness of the evidence and analysis, and provide our opinion on whether the FTA impact assessments are fit for purpose to inform parliamentary review. Our opinion does not consider the merits of the FTA or the negotiation process. We have previously provided opinions on the impact assessments of FTAs between the UK and Japan (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-uk-japan-comprehensive-economic-partnership-agreement-rpc-opinion), the UK and Australia (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-australia-free-trade-agreement-rpc-opinion), the UK and New Zealand (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-new-zealand-free-trade-agreement-rpc-opinion) and, most recently, the UK’s accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accession-of-the-uk-to-the-comprehensive-and-progressive-trans-pacific-partnership-cptpp-rpc-opinion-green-rated)).

On 25th June 2025, DBT submitted an IA of the Free Trade Agreement between the UK and India to the RPC for review. The department submitted a revised IA on 21st July. The revised IA satisfactorily addressed our comments on the previous IA. As a result, the RPC rates the IA as fit for purpose, green-rated.

The corresponding impact assessment can be found (here (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-india-free-trade-agreement-impact-assessment)).

Lifting of the Thames Gateway Bridge safeguarding direction
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-17)

Announcing the lifting of the Thames Gateway Bridge safeguarding direction.

Today (17 July 2025) I am informing the House of my decision to lift the safeguarding direction for the Thames Gateway Bridge. This reflects the government’s commitment to ensuring our transport and infrastructure supports housing delivery and drives growth as part of the Plan for Change (https://www.gov.uk/missions).

Safeguarding is an important planning tool used to protect land for future transport schemes from conflicting development. In this case, the safeguarding direction for the Thames Gateway Bridge dates back to 1940, when the area’s transport needs were very different. It was intended to protect land for a road crossing that has not been delivered. Since then, London’s transport priorities have evolved, and over the decades, we have seen major investments in London’s river crossings – most notably the Dartford Crossing and, recently, the Silvertown Tunnel. The safeguarding directions therefore no longer align with the direction of transport policy or the evolving needs of this part of London.

The continued safeguarding of this land has been an obstacle to much-needed development, and I am therefore lifting these directions. The government is keen to deliver new homes and unlock economic opportunity, and we are taking steps to remove unnecessary barriers to progress.

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 HSS Hire 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 HSS Hire 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:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- 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.

PM272300 - Capital gain reliefs
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-20)


As gains and losses on disposals of partnership assets are treated as accruing to the partners, rather than the partnership, any claims for relief must be made by the partners separately.

Guidance on specific issues arising on claims to roll-over relief (under TCGA92/S152) is given at CG61150 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg61150) onwards. Note that relief is available to partners on their interest in assets owned by the partnership and in assets owned separately by one or more partners but used in the partnership trade, even if rent is paid by the partnership to the partner(s) for that use (SP D11 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/statement-of-practice-d11)).

Some reliefs apply automatically, for example roll-over relief on the transfer of a business to a company under TCGA92/S162 (often referred to as incorporation relief). Relief under TCGA92/S162 is given when a person other than a company transfers a business as a going concern to a company in exchange wholly or partly for an issue of its shares. Detailed guidance on relief on the transfer of a business to a company is available at CG65700 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg65700)+.

Specific guidance on the application of TCGA92/S162 on the transfer of a partnership business to a company is given at CG65700 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg65700). Relief is available to individual partners (even if one or more of the other partners is a company) where the whole of a partnership business is transferred to a company as a going concern. The relief is computed separately for each partner.

Specific guidance on the application of TCGA92/S169I(8), which enables partners to qualify for Business Asset Disposal Relief, is available at CG64040 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg64040) and in Statement of Practise D12 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg27170). Broadly, Business Asset Disposal Relief can be available on the disposal, or part-disposal, of a partner’s interest in the partnership.

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 Telegraph Media Group 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 Telegraph Media Group 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
- Armed Forces Day
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.
