Weather and Climate Information Services (WISER): a thematic evaluation across 3 regions
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-26)

An independent evaluation of the impact of the FCDO’s support for Weather and Climate Information Services (WISER) through the UK Met Office.

This independent thematic evaluation reviews the FCDO’s support for Weather and Climate Information Services (WISER) through the UK Met Office. It assesses WISER’s impacts on sustainably reducing the impacts of climate shocks and building resilience of vulnerable populations.

This evaluation improves the understanding of the relevance, impact and sustainability of UK-supported work to increase the access of weather and climate information services for the climate vulnerable.

It draws on lessons from the closed WISER regional programmes in Africa (WISER Africa1&2) and the WISER component of Asia (Asia Regional Resilience to Changing Climate ARRCC). It is informing ongoing WISER programmes being supported in the regional programmes:
- Africa Region Climate and Nature, ARCAN
- Climate Action for Resilient Asia, CARA
- Pioneering a Holistic approach to Energy and Nature-based Options in Middle East and North Africa (MENA) for Long-term stability programme, PHENOMENAL
The learning evaluation assessed evidence on the relevance, coherence and sustainability of WISER interventions. It took a theory of change and case-study based approach involving review of 62 documents and 112 stakeholder interviews. It was conducted between January and November 2024.

Compliance: Penalties Reductions

If a Reporting Financial Institution fails to meet its obligations, a penalty may be applicable, but this will always depend on the facts and circumstances. No penalty will be charged where the Reporting Financial Institution has a reasonable excuse for the failure.

There are different penalty types for the various obligations. The penalty amounts in legislation are all “up to” amounts. The following guidance sets out how HMRC will determine the level of the penalty up to the maximum amount in the regulations.

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 Emplas Window Systems 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 Emplas Window Systems 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

- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets

STEP Ahead pilot evaluation report
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-26)

This report presents evaluation findings from the STEP Ahead pilot.

The STEP Ahead pilot was a 12-week digital programme providing English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and employment support for eligible refugees across the UK. The pilot tested the viability of intensive digital support for refugees in mitigating or overcoming known barriers to access English language lessons and employability support.

Online delivery worked well for both ESOL classes and employment support with high programme completion rates and positive satisfaction rates among refugees. Refugees across all English levels reported increased confidence in using English for both daily and work-related tasks, especially for conversational English. Refugees with lower English and digital literacy skills faced higher barriers to online participation.

Online delivery provided refugee’s additional flexibility to plan their learning around other integration ambitions and overcame barriers typically associated with attending in-person lessons, including travel and childcare costs. Equally, availability of Employment Advisor via phone was highlighted as positive.

INTM600120 - Transfer of assets abroad: Introduction and background: General introduction
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


It is a basic principle of UK personal taxation that the UK charges tax on the personal income of its residents wherever in the world that income arises. Generally, income arising outside the UK to a person resident overseas will not be subject to income tax in this country.

Consequently, without specific provisions, income tax could easily be avoided by individuals who are UK resident if they arranged for income to accrue to a person resident abroad, whilst still being able to enjoy the benefit of this income. To prevent this, the transfer of assets abroad legislation was originally enacted in 1936.

The transfer of assets abroad legislation can now be found in sections 714 to 751 of the Income Tax Act 2007. It is anti-avoidance legislation aimed at preventing individuals who are UK resident from avoiding a liability to income tax by means of a transfer of assets which results in income becoming payable to a person abroad, whilst the individual who made the transfer either has
- the power to enjoy the income arising (ITA07/S720), or
- received, or is entitled to receive, a capital sum which is connected with the transfer (ITA07/S727).
The transfer of assets abroad legislation can also apply where an individual who is UK resident receives a benefit provided out of assets available for the purpose as a result of a transfer of assets (ITA07/S731).

There are exemptions from the charge to income tax under the transfer of assets legislation where an individual satisfies an officer of HMRC that specific conditions are met (ITA07/S736-742A). In broad terms, there will be no charge if the individual can demonstrate:
- the avoidance of a liability to tax was not the purpose or one of the purposes of the relevant transactions, or
- the transactions were genuine commercial transactions that were not designed for the purpose of tax avoidance.
From 6 April 2012 to 5 April 2025 there was a further exemption from charge where the transactions were genuine when all the relevant circumstances are taken into account and imposing a charge on the income would be a restriction of European Union treaty freedoms. However, this exemption was repealed with effect from 6 April 2025.

There are sections in the history of the legislation dealing with some older statute which may still have some relevance to existing scenarios: for example, ordinary residence, up to the introduction of the Statutory Residence Test (SRT).

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.

Iran must take the necessary steps to address the international community’s serious concerns over its nuclear programme: Joint statement on the decision to trigger the snapback mechanism to end sanctions relief against Iran
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-29)

Joint statement delivered by Ambassador Barbara Woodward, UK Permanent Representative to the UN, on behalf of France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Yesterday, in accordance with UN Security Council resolution 2231, the Foreign Ministers of France, Germany and my own country, the United Kingdom, notified the Security Council that we believe Iran to be in significant non-performance of its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

Since 2019, Iran has increasingly and deliberately ceased performing almost all of its JCPoA commitments.

This includes the accumulation of a high enriched uranium stockpile which lacks any credible civilian justification.

In fact, according to the IAEA, Iran is the only country without nuclear weapons producing high enriched uranium.

Iran has stopped providing IAEA access agreed under the JCPoA.

Moreover, it has recently significantly reduced the access to nuclear material and sites it is obliged to provide under the NPT.

Despite this, France, Germany and the United Kingdom are making every effort to resolve this diplomatically.

Most recently, we offered Iran an extension to snapback should Iran take specific steps to address our most immediate concerns.

Our asks were fair and realistic: Iran’s resumption of negotiations on a comprehensive agreement, Iran’s compliance with its IAEA obligations, and steps to address our concerns regarding the high enriched uranium stockpile.

However, as of today, Iran has shown no indication that it is serious about meeting them.

It is not implementing its obligations to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

It has not reengaged in negotiations with the United States with a view to reaching an acceptable diplomatic resolution.

Our notification to the Security Council has now triggered a 30-day period.

It does not mark the end of diplomacy, our extension offer remains on the table.

We hope Iran will take the necessary steps to address the international community’s serious concerns over its nuclear programme.

We urge Iran to reconsider this position, to reach an agreement based on our offer, and to help create the space for a diplomatic solution to this issue for the long term.

Otherwise, targeted UN sanctions focused on tackling Iranian nuclear proliferation return at the end of this 30-day period.

We remain determined that Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon.

While we have been left with no choice but to take this course of action, we remain committed to diplomacy and to the peaceful resolution of threats to global peace and security.

There remains a clear diplomatic pathway forward, should Iran choose to take it.
