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 Crest Medical 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 Crest Medical 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:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
We also pledge the following:

-Working with the CTP in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for service leavers

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.

Applicants should have an established track record of collaboration with Ukrainian government ministries and should participate in the protection cluster and its areas of responsibility and/or other relevant working groups.

Lead applicants should be Ukrainian not-for-profit organisations, or international organisations with a commitment to promoting and facilitating active participation of local partners.

Aggregate minerals survey for Great Britain, 2023
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)

Collation of the results of the 2023 aggregate minerals survey for Great Britain.

Aggregate minerals surveys provide an in-depth and up-to-date understanding of national and sub-national sales, inter-regional flows, transportation, consumption and permitted reserves of primary aggregates.

The survey aims to provide comprehensive data for monitoring and facilitating aggregates provision at local, regional and national level. The output is used mainly by the government, mineral planning authorities, industry and environmental interest groups. The surveys are used to inform the development of minerals policy in respect to the production, movement and consumption of aggregates. The data are made publicly available.

This report is the collation of the data for primary aggregates for 2023. This is the first Great Britain wide survey. Historically a joint survey has been undertaken for England and Wales, with Scotland undertaking a separate survey. In addition to presenting information on regional and national sales, consumption, and permitted reserves of primary aggregates, the aggregate minerals survey for 2023 report also presents data on the movement and consumption of primary aggregates by country and sub-region.

Information is also presented on the quantity of aggregate minerals granted and refused planning permission and planning applications withdrawn between 2020 and 2023. In addition, information is presented on the quantity of aggregate minerals within planning applications submitted between 2020 and 2023 which were awaiting a decision at 31 December 2023.

Our role at the Low Pay Commission is to advise the Government on the National Minimum Wage (NMW), including the National Living Wage. Although our core remit is to recommend the level of these rates, the issues of compliance and enforcement are fundamental to minimum wage policy.

We will not be publishing a standalone report on compliance and enforcement this year. Nevertheless, we are about to enter a significant period for compliance and enforcement policy. This note looks at the relevance of our previous recommendations for the Fair Work Agency and explains how we will be taking forward work in this area.

- demand measures to support the uptake of zero emission vehicles
The second part of this consultation is about the the ZEV Mandate, delivered through the vehicle emissions trading schemes (VETS).

It is conducted by the UK government, Scottish Government, Welsh Government and the Department for Infrastructure (NI) and seeks views on:
- the existing flexibilities within the ZEV mandate, and consideration of further flexibilities
- other technical updates to the ZEV mandate to ensure its efficiency

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
