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 Connect 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 Connect 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.

The report must be made in the XML format agreed at the OECD and which is acceptable for the EU. The report will show for each country (tax jurisdiction) in which the multinational carries on business:
- the amount of revenue, profit before income tax and income tax paid and accrued;
- their total employment, capital, retained earnings and tangible assets.
UK UPEs will also have to identify each entity within their group doing business in a particular country and say what sort of business activity the entity is engaged in.

How schools and further education (FE) colleges are embedding AI and responding to some of the challenges and barriers identified in literature.

In the 2025 spring term, Ofsted investigated how 21 ‘early adopter’ schools and further education (FE) colleges were using artificial intelligence (AI). This report:
- sets out our findings from interviews with leaders responsible for introducing AI
- summarises background literature related to the findings
The findings provide insights into how leaders navigate the challenges of AI and what they see as the benefits of using it. They also highlight gaps in knowledge about how AI may hinder education providers from using it effectively to improve educational outcomes.

This research was commissioned by the Department for Education.
Statutory biodiversity credit prices
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-19)

The prices of statutory biodiversity credits from the date biodiversity net gain (BNG) becomes mandatory.

This table gives the prices of statutory biodiversity credits (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/statutory-biodiversity-credits).

Prices are based on the cost to create, maintain and monitor different habitat types. There is also a mark-up to prevent statutory credit prices undercutting the off-site market.

We will review prices every 6 months. Our review is to ensure prices are set high enough to not compete with the private off-site market, as well as being a feasible option for a developer to use as a last resort. We will announce any planned price changes in this guidance, giving at least 10 weeks’ notice.

Statutory credit prices are not guideline prices for off-site biodiversity units (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/make-off-site-biodiversity-gains-as-a-developer).

You can buy fractions of a credit, if it is rounded to 2 decimal places. For example, 0.5 credits, or 3.76 credits.

Information about terms in the table of prices

‘Distinctiveness’ is a measure based on the type of habitat and its distinguishing features. It measures different ecological factors, such as:
- the rarity of the habitat
- species richness within a habitat
‘Broad’ and ‘specific’ habitat types are terms the biodiversity metric uses to describe different kinds of habitat.

‘Broad habitat type’ describes the general habitat, for example grassland or wetland.

‘Specific habitat type’ describes the habitat in more detail, for example traditional orchards or reedbeds.

The prices in the table are per credit. If you buy statutory biodiversity credits, a ‘spatial risk multiplier’ (SRM) will apply, which doubles the amount of statutory credits you need. The SRM applies to statutory credits to ensure they do not compete with the development of the off-site market and remain a last resort. You must buy 2 statutory credits for every 1 biodiversity unit you need to compensate for. The statutory biodiversity metric tool will automatically calculate this multiplication for you. The SRM is not included in the prices in the table.

For each habitat type in the table, you can see its ‘tier’. Statutory biodiversity credits are priced in tiers according to habitat type for area-based biodiversity units. There are separate prices for hedgerow and watercourse biodiversity units.

Area habitats

Low distinctiveness habitats

Medium distinctiveness habitats

High distinctiveness habitats

Linear habitats

Watercourses

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.

Annual update covering patient registrations and data from the 2024 to 2025 Quality and Outcomes Framework.

The national general practice profiles (https://fingertips.phe.org.uk/profile/general-practice) are designed to support GPs, primary care networks (PCNs), integrated care boards (ICBs) and local authorities to commission effective, appropriate healthcare services for their local populations.

This data tool presents a range of GP practice-level indicators. Users can search for and view data for an individual GP practice and compare it with the ICB and England in a user-friendly format.

There are no plans to update this profile again in its current form. The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is reviewing the future of indicators contained in this profile as part of the wider work to modernise the Fingertips (https://fingertips.phe.org.uk/) platform.

The Prime Minister spoke to President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, this afternoon.

The Prime Minister began by sharing his condolences following the atrocious Russian attacks in recent days.

Looking ahead to the Coalition of the Willing meeting later this week, the leaders agreed to update on the significant progress being made by military planners.

The recent Russian attacks reinforced the need for Ukraine’s friends and allies to focus both on ensuring Ukraine had the support it needed to defend itself, while also planning for a post-ceasefire future, the Prime Minister added.

The leaders also discussed next steps to accelerate work on the agreement reached between the UK and Ukraine to share battlefield technology and step up defence industrial cooperation.

Both looked forward to speaking again on Thursday.
