CMA proposes to accept remedies in supermarket supplier deal
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-07)

Greencore’s proposed purchase of rival Bakkavor will create one of the UK’s largest convenience food businesses.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is proposing to accept remedies offered following its investigation into Greencore Group’s deal to buy Bakkavor Group.

Greencore is a major food manufacturer, supplier and distributor which is dedicated to the production and supply of convenience food in the UK. Bakkavor is a multinational manufacturer and supplier of fresh prepared foods across the UK, Ireland and the US.

Both businesses sell their products to supermarkets and grocery retailers such as Tesco, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and Asda.

A Phase 1 investigation by the CMA found that the deal could result in a substantial lessening of competition in the supply of own-label chilled sauces – such as pasta and stir-fry sauces – which could lead to higher prices for UK shoppers and/or a reduction in product quality.

To resolve the CMA’s concerns, the businesses have offered to sell Greencore’s only chilled sauce and soups manufacturing plant in Bristol. Having considered this proposal, the CMA believes it could resolve its competition concerns and will consult on the composition of the remedies package and the potential purchaser in due course.

Joel Bamford, Executive Director of Mergers at the CMA, said:

The cost of our weekly shop matters to us all, so we must take decisions that ensure there is effective competition helping to keep product prices as low as possible on supermarket shelves. Our assessment found Greencore’s deal to buy Bakkavor could raise prices at the till.

Following close engagement with Greencore and Bakkavor we’ve secured remedies which we believe have the potential to address our competition concerns – so we have accepted the remedies in principle today and will now work to towards a final resolution.

More information can be found on the Greencore / Bakkavor case page (https://www.gov.uk/cma-cases/greencore-slash-bakkavor-merger-inquiry).

Notes to editors:
- As part of its Phase 1 investigation, the CMA considered a range of other product lines – including Italian chilled ready meals and salads – but determined the deal would not likely lead to a substantial lessening of competition in those lines.
- More detail on the remedies offered by Greencore will be published on the case page in due course.
- All media enquiries should be directed to the CMA press office by email at xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) or by phone on xx-xxxx-xxxx.

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 Healix Group of Companies 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 Healix Group of Companies 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

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.

How the Environment Agency has determined the baseline length of rivers and estuaries polluted by harmful metals from abandoned metal mines in England.

The government’s Environmental Improvement Plan (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/environmental-improvement-plan) (2023) stated that abandoned metal mines are the largest source of metal pollution to English rivers and into the marine environment. In 2023, a statutory target was set to halve the length of rivers and estuaries polluted by target substances from abandoned metal mines by 31 December 2038 against the baseline polluted length in 2022.

The target substances are:
- arsenic
- cadmium
- copper
- lead
- nickel
- zinc

Temporary duties imposed on engine oils and hydraulic fluids
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-16)

The Government  has accepted the TRA's recommendation to impose provisional duties on imports of engine oils and hydraulic fluids from Lithuania and the UAE.

The Secretary of State for Business and Trade has today (16/04/2025) accepted the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA)’s recommendation to impose provisional anti-dumping duties on imports of engine oils and hydraulic fluids from Lithuania and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), following evidence of dumping that has caused injury to UK industry. These measures will be in effect for a period of up to six months.

A Provisional Affirmative Determination (PAD) allows temporary duties to be imposed while a full investigation is completed.

The investigation, which was initiated in June 2024, found on a preliminary basis that UK producers were being undercut by an average of 37% of UK sales prices, causing material injury to domestic industry. The TRA’s investigation followed an application from UK manufacturer Aztec Oils Ltd.

The investigation covers certain engine oils and hydraulic fluids, including passenger car motor oils, heavy-duty commercial vehicle oils, and hydraulic oils.

In its Provisional Affirmative Determination (https://www.trade-remedies.service.gov.uk/public/case/AD0059/submission/b71c5a23-129a-4213-b78b-1e6f36efed33/), the TRA has recommended provisional duties ranging from 11.60% to 24.95% for individual participating companies and countrywide rates of 49.59% for Lithuania and 59.40% for the UAE.

UK producers are expected to benefit from these measures by between £5 million and £55 million, depending on their ability to adjust prices in response to the duties.

The TRA will continue its full investigation while these provisional measures are in place.

Note to editors:

The Trade Remedies Authority is the independent UK body that investigates whether new trade remedy measures are needed to counter unfair import practices and unforeseen surges of imports.

The TRA is an arm’s length body of the Department for Business and Trade.

Anti-dumping duties allow a country or union to act against goods which are being sold at less than their normal value – this is defined as the price for ‘like goods’ sold in the exporter’s home market.

The period of investigation is from 1 April 2023 to 21 March 2024.

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 Welford Parish Council 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 Welford Parish Council 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
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
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.

CTM34160 - Residence: outward company migration: notice and arrangements
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-08)


FA88/S130 to S132, now migrated to TMA70/S109B to S109F, see CTM34120 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm34120), are intended to prevent a company migrating and leaving behind outstanding tax liabilities which would be very difficult to collect.

TMA70/S109B requires a company, before it migrates, to
- notify HMRC of its intention to cease to be resident, and time of migration,
- provide a statement of its tax liabilities,
- make arrangements for the settlement of these liabilities in due course, and
- obtain HMRC's approval of the arrangements.
A disagreement on the estimated liabilities may be referred to the First-tier Tribunal.

BAI (Base Protection) is responsible for accepting the estimates and approving the arrangements. Operational officers may be asked to help in checking the tax computations. The company will in most cases be required to provide a guarantor for outstanding tax liabilities. Guidance notes for migrating companies were issued as SP2/90 and are reproduced at CTM34195 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm34195). Companies enquiring about TMA70/S109B should be referred to those notes.

CTM17600 - Distributions: purchase of own shares: legal costs
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-30)


The legal costs a company incurs in a purchase of own shares are generally disallowable in computing the company's trading income. This is on the grounds that they are:
- capital expenditure in respect of the company's share capital, or
- within CTA09/S53 (no deduction alowed for items of a capital nature).
The expenditure is also likely to fail the wholly and exclusively test under CTA09/S54.
