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 Hetty & Betty 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 Hetty & Betty 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
- Discounts
- 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.

Regulating Third-Party Intermediaries (TPIs) in the retail energy market
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-23)

We're seeking views on options for regulating third-party intermediaries (TPIs) in the energy retail market to protect consumers and businesses.

The government envisions an energy sector that prioritises consumers, ensuring they benefit as Great Britain transitions into a clean energy superpower. This approach aims to address economic inequality while tackling the climate crisis, focusing on consumer protection and empowerment within the shift to clean energy.

This consultation document seeks views on the regulation of Third-Party Intermediaries (TPIs) within the retail energy market, aiming to enhance consumer protection and support the transition to a cleaner energy system.

This consultation occurs within the broader context of the government’s ongoing commitment to support Ofgem’s efforts to create a well-functioning market for non-domestic customers. This includes collaboration to implement recommendations from Ofgem’s non-domestic policy consultation from July 2023 swiftly and effectively.

Currently, there are concerns about the performance of some TPIs, which often act as intermediaries between consumers and energy suppliers. Issues such as non-transparent practices and mis-selling have been highlighted, particularly within the non-domestic market.

This consultation outlines proposals to regulate TPIs, enhance consumer protection, improve market transparency, and ensure that TPIs contribute positively to the energy sector’s evolution towards cleaner energy. It also considers the establishment of a general authorisation regime for TPIs as the preferred regulatory approach.

The consultation is open to all interested parties, with a particular focus on stakeholders within the energy sector, including TPIs, energy suppliers, consumer protection groups, and businesses relying on TPIs for energy procurement and management.

Civil Nuclear Constabulary welcomes new barring list legislation
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-10)

The CNC has welcomed new legislation which will prevent disgraced officers from re-joining the police service.

The Civil Nuclear Constabulary has welcomed new legislation which will introduce measures preventing CNC officers dismissed for gross misconduct from being employed again elsewhere in law enforcement agencies and local police forces.

The Home Office has today (10 June) tabled amendments to the flagship Crime and Policing Bill which will establish new barred and advisory lists for the National Crime Agency (NCA) and also for specialist police forces including the Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC), British Transport Police (BTP) and the Ministry of Defence Police (MDP).

This new measure will ensure that individuals dismissed for gross misconduct are prevented from re-entering policing or any other law enforcement role.

Where an individual is on the barred list, law enforcement agencies will not be able to employ them, and where an individual is named on the advisory list, the employer will be obligated to take this into consideration as part of the recruitment.

Each force’s list will be maintained by its respective authority, and law enforcement employers across England and Wales will be required to check these lists before hiring.

Policing Minister, Dame Diana Johnson said: “The public deserve to know that those tasked with protecting them meet the highest standards.

“Under our Safer Streets mission, we are restoring confidence in policing by removing those who undermine it.

“This new measure ensures that officers who abuse their position in the CNC cannot resurface in other areas of policing — we will continue taking every possible step to protect the integrity of our law enforcement agencies.”

Assistant Chief Constable Kerry Smith, lead for Professionalism, said: “We welcome the Government’s move to close this legislative loop-hole. It will prevent those officers who fail to uphold our rigorous standards from being employed again within policing and law enforcement.

“We maintain robust vetting and professional standards, but in the rare instance of one of our officers being dismissed for gross misconduct, these measures will ensure that there is a process to ensure the public are protected and we can maintain trust and confidence in policing.”

British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme: consultation on scheme eligibility and approach
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-24)

We are seeking views on the proposed approach to the new British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme (BICS) and how eligible businesses should be selected.

The British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme (BICS) scheme aims to reduce electricity costs. This is for manufacturing frontier industries within the Industrial Strategy’s growth sectors – the Industrial Strategy 8 (IS-8), and manufacturing foundational industries which provide key inputs to the frontier industries, who meet a certain threshold of electricity intensity.

Eligible businesses are to be exempt from paying the indirect costs of the Renewables Obligation, Feed-in Tariffs and the Capacity Market.

This consultation seeks views on the scheme’s proposed approach and how businesses eligible for the scheme should be selected. We are seeking views from all stakeholders with an interest in the proposed scheme.

The list of manufacturing foundational industry codes in Table 3 of Annex A was updated at 3:30pm on 24 November 2025.

UK and foreign vessels landings by UK port and UK vessel landings abroad: provisional data

Highlights
- The total quantity of landings by UK vessels (tonnes) decreased in March 2025 compared to 2024, down 12%. The value of landings in March 2025 (£66.6m) decreased compared to 2024 down by 14%.
- Landings in March 2025 comprised mostly of Pelagic species (74%). This was driven by high landings of Blue Whiting which is usually a highly targeted fishery between February and April each year. Demersal species comprised the majority of the value landed (42%) due to Demersal species typically fetching a much higher price per tonne compared to Pelagic species.

Ingenia Resourcing and Recruitment

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 Ingenia Resourcing and Recruitment 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 Ingenia Resourcing and Recruitment 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
- Discounts
- 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.
IHTM13032 - Other domicile issues: domicile of life tenant/settlor and exclusion from charge to Inheritance Tax
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


From 6 April 2025, for inheritance tax purposes, domicile is replaced by long-term UK residence and you can find details of these rules at IHTM47000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47000) and IHTM47050 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47050).

When considering foreign property in a settlement, whether fixed interest or discretionary before 6 April 2025, it is the domicile of the settlor(s) that determines whether the property is excluded from the charge to Inheritance Tax (IHT) (see IHTA84/S48 (3)(a) and IHTM27220 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm27220)).

Generally, the domicile of the life tenant (or class of beneficiaries) does not affect the IHT payable on foreign settled property (though their foreign free estate may be excluded property).
