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 Custom Planet 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 Custom Planet 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:
- 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.
Digital identity services: inclusion monitoring report findings 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-16)

The 2025 findings from the inclusion monitoring survey for digital identity and attribute services certified against Government standards.

The report summarises the findings from the annual inclusion monitoring survey for digital verification services certified against the UK digital identity and attributes trust framework (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/uk-digital-identity-and-attributes-trust-framework).

The Office for Digital Identities and Attributes (OfDIA) (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/office-for-digital-identities-and-attributes), which is part of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-science-innovation-and-technology), is working to enable the widespread use of secure and trustworthy digital identity and attribute services across the UK. Using digital identity services is not mandatory, but the Government is committed to ensuring that anyone who chooses to use one can do so.

The findings from the inclusion monitoring survey help to build a general picture of the inclusivity and accessibility of the certified digital identity market. The anonymised and aggregated results in this report will be used to inform further development of the trust framework and OfDIA’s inclusion policy.

Key findings include:

66% of organisations surveyed offer only single-use identity or attribute checks, suggesting this is currently more common than reusable digital identities among certified services.

60% of organisations surveyed adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 (AA) or higher, up from 54% in 2024.

55% of organisations surveyed report that they collect demographic data about their users. Of these services, 42% are using this data to monitor the inclusivity of their service.

47% of organisations surveyed services report that they offer non-digital routes for users to access support (telephone or in-person).

73% of organisations surveyed offer at least one accessibility feature, such as text magnification or compatibility with assistive technologies.

Of the organisations surveyed offering biometric technology, 52% offer an alternative route if users do not wish to use biometrics. 41% of those services record information on the accuracy rates of their biometric technologies for different demographic groups. This has increased from 30% last year.

As in 2024, cost and a lack of access to government-held data were the most commonly cited challenges to improving inclusion.

Automated passenger services permitting scheme
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-21)

Have your say on the proposals that will help regulate new self-driving vehicle passenger services.

I wish to provide the House with an update on steps the government is taking to progress the implementation of automated passenger services (APS) regulations to kickstart economic growth, a top priority in the government’s Plan for Change (https://www.gov.uk/missions).

The APS permitting regime was created to address complexities of applying current taxi, private hire vehicle and public service vehicle legislation to passenger services that would operate without a driver. This scheme will help facilitate commercial pilots of services with paying passengers and no safety driver to be deployed from spring 2026.

In June, I announced the government’s intention to accelerate the introduction of APS regulations, subject to the outcome of a consultation launching in summer. Today (21 July 2025) I can announce that the consultation on the draft regulations and wider considerations in respect of the management and use of the permitting scheme has been published (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/automated-passenger-services-permitting-scheme). The consultation will run until 28 September 2025.

Through the APS permitting scheme, we intend to provide businesses with the regulatory confidence to invest in testing and deploying these innovative services on our streets, reinforcing Great Britain’s position among the world leaders in tech deployment.

Safety, including the safeguarding of passengers, is at the heart of the proposed permitting scheme. Where automated vehicle technology needs approval by government before it can be used, government will use comprehensive safety standards that take into account the developing United Nations regulation for automated driving systems.

Government intends that the accessibility of services will be a factor in consideration of whether to grant a permit, alongside a reporting requirement placed on to permit holders. Pilot deployments will continue building government’s understanding of new ways in which accessibility can be achieved through these services. Government will continue to explore the role for research in further understanding of how self-driving passenger services can best enable older and disabled people to travel, alongside others with limited or restricted mobility.

Consultation proposals

The consultation is divided into 7 chapters, covering a range of matters relevant to the implementation of APS permitting.

These chapters consider the outline of the legislative scheme, necessary guidance regarding the consent process for local licensing authorities and bus franchising authorities, the application process, the variation, suspension and withdrawal of a permit, accessibility, the review process and disclosure of information.

A copy of this publication and associated annexes will be placed in the libraries of both houses and published on GOV.UK.
Planning Inspectorate spending over £250: November 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-11)

All Planning Inspectorate spending over £250 during November 2024

The Planning Inspectorate has determined that the publication of spend data that does or is likely to identify those individuals’ supplying planning appeal decisions services, regardless of the way they supply the services, would pose a credible threat to their personal security. We used the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) as our frame of reference to make this judgement. More specifically that the publication of these spend data is “exempt under FOI to protect the identities of companies and individuals providing services to HM Government”, in particular “where disclosure of either paying department or recipient would pose a personal security threat”. The very real likelihood of a personal security threat is sufficient grounds for redacting spend data that we would ordinarily publish.

CTM41265 - Particular bodies: Trade unions and eligible employers’ associations: Provident benefits - nature of payment
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-03)


CTA10/S982 (2)

Provident benefits include any payment made to a member, or their representative, which is specifically authorised by the union's or association’s rules, including a payment which is made
- to a member for sickness or incapacity from personal injury or while out of work,
- to a member by way of superannuation by reason of age, sickness or incapacity from personal injury,
- to a member who has met with an accident,
- to a member who has lost of tools by fire or theft,
- to cover funeral expenses of a member or their husband, wife or civil partner, or
- to provide for the children of a deceased member.
The administration costs involved in providing these are also allowable as provident benefits. Work them out as a portion of the costs in the union's or association’s accounts.

If a union's or association’s rules allow it to take out a group insurance policy to cover payments of provident benefits to members, the premiums paid are also allowed as provident benefits. However, there is no relief for the actual payments made by the insurance company.

If the union's or association’s rules allow it to pay for
- certain legal expenses,
- compensation for accident or injury, or
- representing members at industrial tribunals in unfair dismissal cases
these are also allowed as provident benefits. If a trade union or association has its own legal section work out the amount allowable by apportioning the charge in the accounts. No other payments for legal expenses are allowable. It does not matter whether the payments are made directly to the legal advisers rather than the member. If the union or association rules guarantee a specific sum it must not exceed the limit given in CTA10/S981, which is covered in CTM41260 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm41260). However, relief can be given for larger payments if the rules allow for payment at the union's discretion.

IPTM6100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/insurance-policyholder-taxation-manual/iptm6100) onwards deals with the taxation of benefits received from policies.
Biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation comes one step closer
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-15)

Employment Rights Bill returns to the Commons

- Employment Rights Bill returns to the Commons, marking another step towards transformation of workers’ rights
- Legislation will establish day one rights to parental leave, end exploitative zero-hours contracts and strengthen statutory sick pay
- Reforms will put more money in people’s pockets and improve living standards, delivering on the government’s Plan for Change
Workers across the country will come one step closer to the biggest single upgrade of employment rights in a generation as the Employment Rights Bill returns to the House of Commons today.

The government will overturn amendments tabled by the Lords which would have weakened the Bill, including watering down the day one protection from unfair dismissal and limiting those able to benefit from the ban on exploitative zero hours contracts.

Fifteen million people, half of all workers, are set to benefit from the Bill, which will establish day one rights to parental and bereavement leave, include sick pay for up to 1.3 million of the lowest earners, and end unscrupulous fire and rehire practices.

These reforms will put an end to insecure work, unfair pay and poor working conditions, putting more money in people’s pockets and improving living standards.

Strong workers’ rights go hand in hand with a strong economy, and this landmark Bill will extend the employment protections already given by the best British companies, creating the right conditions for long-term sustainable growth.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said:

“This Government is delivering the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation.

“Our Employment Rights Bill is good for workers, good for businesses and good for the economy.

“It’s a core part of our agenda to make people better off and will make a real difference to people’s lives.”

Business and Trade Secretary Peter Kyle said:

“We are relentlessly focused on making people feel better off and putting more money into their pockets. Giving workers more security in the workplace is good for the economy. It promotes prosperity, enabling people to be more active consumers and exercise more control over their lives.

“Businesses have been consulted every step of the way and will continue to be. We are focused on building an economy with a new social partnership - workers, businesses and government fixing the foundations and that starts with security at work.”

The Bill’s return to the Commons follows extensive engagement with business and trade unions to ensure that the legislation is firmly pro-business and pro-worker, and that businesses have the certainty they need to plan for the future. This will continue as the Bill progresses through Parliament.

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.
