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 Tadaweb UK Limited 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.

2.1 Tadaweb UK Limited 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:

Private Sector R&D Investment Policies
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-14)

A literature review covering a range of policy instruments from 5 OECD countries: France, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, and the United States.

This report suggests that policies aiming to boost private sector R&D investment need to help businesses overcome 4 key barriers:
- low appropriability
- scale
- radicalness
- uncertain payoffs
R&D support requires both direct incentives (focused on subsidising R&D in firms) and indirect incentives (focused on supporting wider knowledge generation and non-financial support).

The report also highlights 15 exemplars of good practice from the 5 countries in scope. These policies are mostly sector non-specific.

Government outlines action plan to improve Oakhill STC
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-28)

A new leadership team, bolstered staff training and improved safeguarding have been put in place at Oakhill Secure Training Centre, following concerns raised by inspectors last month.

- Bolstered support to include strengthened safeguarding and staff training
- Extra investment in healthcare provision and mental health support
- New leadership team appointed with extensive youth custody experience
The centre in Milton Keynes, operated by G4S, was issued an Urgent Notification in July by Ofsted, HM Inspectorate of Prisons, and the Care Quality Commission. The report detailed living conditions below standard, inadequate mental health support and poor safeguarding systems.

The Youth Custody Service has today (28 August) published a detailed action plan to urgently address these concerns. Developed in partnership with G4S, the plan seeks to fundamentally improve safety and standards at the centre.

This includes G4S installing a new leadership structure and a Governing Governor from YCS directly taking responsibility for overseeing improvements. Staff will also receive improved training to better deal with conflict and violence, and a review of all safeguarding referrals will ensure appropriate action has been taken in every case.

Sir Nic Dakin, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Sentencing and Youth Justice, said:

The serious failings found at Oakhill STC are unacceptable. Every young person in custody must feel safe, supported, and be treated with care.

G4S is already taking urgent steps to deliver necessary improvements, and this action plan gives them the support they need to turn the centre around. We will not hesitate to take further action if needed.

The centre is also undergoing major refurbishments to living conditions, identifying areas requiring repair and prioritising residential units. Healthcare provision is also being bolstered with extra specialist staff including for mental health support.

Staff who have been implicated in serious wrongdoing have been suspended.

Where a person (a successor) succeeds to a business that was carried on by someone else (a predecessor) and together they have made an election under S266 CAA2001 to treat the equipment as sold to the successor by the predecessor at a price that is equal to the unrelieved balances in the predecessor’s pools; then the successor is treated as if everything done by the predecessor had been done by the successor and the amount the successor actually paid is ignored.

Example

A is B’s mother. A and B are connected.

A has a business. The unrelieved balance in the main pool is £4,000.

B takes over the business.

A is the predecessor. B is the successor.

B elects for the cash basis.

B pays A £3,000 for the equipment.

A and B make an election under S266 CAA2001 to treat the equipment as sold by A to B for £4,000.

The amount B actually pays for the equipment is ignored. B is treated as taking over the pool with an unrelieved balance of £4,000.

B claims a deduction of £4,000 (the unrelieved balance) and the pool is reduced to nil.

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 Circet IRE & UK 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 Circet IRE & UK 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 Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
We also pledge the following:

-Working with the Career Transition Partnership (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.
Continuous Household Survey Heat and Insulation Results 2024/25
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-11)

This report presents the results of the household heating and insulation questions from the 2024/25 Northern Ireland Continuous Household Survey.

The CHS Heat and Insulation 2024/25 report, published by the Department for the Economy, presents findings from a dedicated module of the Continuous Household Survey. Its primary purpose is to provide insight into how households across Northern Ireland heat their homes and the types of insulation they use. This information is vital for understanding energy consumption patterns, identifying areas of fuel poverty, and supporting environmental and housing policy.

The report tracks changes in heating methods over time, such as the shift from oil to gas, and examines how these vary by housing type and tenure. It also explores secondary heating sources, fuel choices, heating controls, and consumer behaviour around purchasing heating oil. In addition, it assesses the prevalence of key insulation measures like double glazing, loft, and wall insulation. By capturing these details, the report helps government departments, local councils, and energy agencies target interventions more effectively—whether to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, or support vulnerable households. It also contributes to broader climate and sustainability goals by highlighting areas where improvements in home heating and insulation could make a meaningful impact.
The deterioration of the healthcare situation in Gaza is completely unacceptable: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-03)

Statement by Ambassador Barbara Woodward, UK Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on Gaza.

President, we are all horrified by the deterioration of the healthcare situation in Gaza.

It is completely unacceptable that since 7 October many medical facilities have been destroyed or damaged and over 1000 medical personnel have been killed, injured or detained. And, as Dr. Hassan has reminded us, their SOS calls have been ignored.

Following the forcible evacuation of Kamal Adwan hospital, there are now no functioning hospitals in North Gaza Governorate. Deteriorating access to medical services across Gaza is compounding acute child malnutrition, the risk of imminent famine and the spread of infectious diseases.

As we face this devastating situation, the UK reiterates three key and fundamental demands.

First, we call for civilians and medical staff to be protected in line with international humanitarian law. Israel is responsible for ensuring that civilians have access to vital medical care and for enabling medical practitioners to operate safely.

The UK continues to urge Israel to abide by their international obligations, including those set out in Security Council resolution 2286. And we also call on Israel to clarify the whereabouts of medical staff detained from hospitals in the north.

We are aware of reports of Hamas using civilian infrastructure for their operations, including hospitals.

The UK strongly condemns any such actions. By embedding themselves in civilian infrastructure, Hamas clearly put Palestinian civilians and medical staff at risk.

We reiterate however, that obligations under IHL to protect hospitals and healthcare workers are unconditional.

President, second, UNRWA must be allowed to play its essential role, including in delivering medical services and we unequivocally reject attempts to undermine its mandate.

On 11 December, my Prime Minister committed an additional $16.5 million to UNRWA to support vital services, including for medical care.

The UK is also supporting the provision of essential healthcare including through funding to UK-Med to run a field hospital and provide other healthcare services in Gaza.

President, third, Israel must do much more to immediately address this crisis and both sides must finally end this war.

The UK will keep pushing for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages cruelly detained by Hamas, for the better protection of civilians, for more aid consistently entering Gaza, and for a path to long-term peace and stability.
