LGBTQIA+ Legal Guidebook launched in Philippines for Pride Month
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-23)

The British Embassy Manila launched the LGBTQIA+ Legal Guidebook, reaffirming support for equality and human rights for the LGBTQIA+ community.

British Ambassador to the Philippines, Laure Beaufils, hosted a Pride Reception reaffirming the UK’s commitment to advance human rights and equality for the LGBTQIA+ community.

The event saw the launch of the Comprehensive LGBTQIA+ Legal Guidebook, which aims to equip LGBTQIA+ organisations, activists and advocates with knowledge and tools against unfair treatment and discrimination. The Guidebook was developed by Mujer LGBTQIA+ Organisation, in collaboration with TrustLaw, Thomson Reuters Foundation and SyCip Salazar Hernandez & Gatmaitan.

The British Embassy supported the publication of the Guidebook, recognising its value as a practical resource designed to empower members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Rhadem Musawah from Mujer LGBT+ Organisation stated:

This book is a product of almost two years of research, consultation and deep reflection. It includes key laws like the Anti-Terror Law, Safe Spaces Act and Anti-Discrimination Ordinances. More importantly, it provides clear, step-by-step guidance on what to do, where to go and who to call. It is practical, accessible and rooted in the lived experiences of LGBTQIA+ groups on the ground. This is not just a legal tool—it is a lifeline. A product of struggle and survival.

The reception also included a panel discussion with members from the LGBTQIA+ community who shared insights on the challenges they face. They discussed available tools and strategies to protect and support the LGBTQIA+ community and highlighted how the UK and other countries can help maintain progress on equal rights.

Ambassador Beaufils reaffirmed the UK’s unwavering support and commitment to championing LGBTQIA+. She stated:

In a time when we are witnessing a roll back on rights across the world, it is crucial that we all work together in upholding the human rights, dignity and freedom of the LGBTQIA+ community.

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 Thalia Waste Management 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 Thalia Waste Management 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
- 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.

- public holidays might also be regarded as a non-working day, if the individual is not normally expected to work on them.
Non-working days, whether a single day or a series of days, are only considered to be embedded within a block of leave if they are:
- preceded by at least 3 consecutive days of annual, parenting or sick leave
- followed by at least 3 consecutive days of annual, parenting or sick leave.

Appointment of Jonathan Hall KC as independent reviewer
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-22)

Jonathan Hall KC has been appointed to lead the HMP Frankland Independent Review.

Following the attacks on 3 prison officers in the separation centre at HMP Frankland on 12 April, the Lord Chancellor announced on 15 May that Jonathan Hall KC will lead the HMP Frankland Independent Review.

The terms of the independent review are as follows:
- Consider whether the facts of the incident, as established by HMPPS’ internal review reveal the need for any changes to how convicted terrorists are placed onto Separation Centres.
- Consider whether the policies, operating procedures, legal framework, and relationships with other agencies that underpin Separation Centres are fit for purpose, including whether an appropriate balance is being struck between security and long-term offender management.
- Provide findings and recommendations on the basis of the above that can be implemented to reduce the likelihood of any such incident occurring in the future.
Lord Chancellor Shabana Mahmood said:

I will do whatever it takes to protect our brave prison officers. I have asked for the review to report back promptly, and to leave no stone unturned so we can prevent such an incident ever happening again.

Jonathan Hall KC

Jonathan Hall KC is the current Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation and Independent Reviewer of State Threats Legislation. Mr Hall is an experienced barrister in independent practice and King’s Counsel since 2014. He has been involved in complex and high-profile cases involving fraud, law enforcement, and national security.

While Mr Hall will be given access to the information he needs to deliver against the terms of reference, the review will be independent of HMPPS. The report on the Review, including any recommendations, will be submitted to the Lord Chancellor and the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Justice.

About us
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-08)

AWE Nuclear Security Technologies’ purpose is to protect the UK through nuclear science and technology. Our mission is to design and manufacture warheads and provide nuclear services to meet the needs of defence.

Responsibilities

AWE Nuclear Security Technologies exists to support national security and deliver a secure future – not only for everybody in the UK, but for our allies too.

Priorities

Our work to supply and service the warheads that support the Government’s policy to maintain a continuous at-sea deterrent 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, discourages the most severe threats to our nation, and to our allies.

We’re also proud to provide our unique skills and expertise to support counter-terrorism and nuclear threat reduction – for example, our ability to distinguish seismic signals generated by underground nuclear explosions from those generated by earthquakes.

This work, beyond our core warhead programme, goes even further to protect the UK, our allies, and the commitments made in the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty – a legally binding global ban on nuclear explosive testing.

Who we are

In July 2021, AWE plc became a non-departmental public body owned by the Ministry of Defence (MOD). Our Chief Executive Officer is accountable to the Chief of Defence Nuclear at the MOD.

We’re regulated by the Office for Nuclear Regulation, the UK’s independent nuclear regulator for safety, security and safeguards, and the Environment Agency, who look at all aspects of AWE Nuclear Security Technologies operations that may impact our environment.

CTM35210 - Income Tax: Deduction of tax: Payments made before 1 April 2001
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-13)


CTM35210 describes the rules governing deduction of Income Tax from certain payments of interest and annual payments before changes made by FA01/S84 and FA02/S94. For payments made on or after 1 April 2001 see CTM35215 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm35215).

When a UK resident company made any payment within ITA07/S874 (the formerly key payment under deduction of tax provision ICTA88/S349)
- the payment was treated as not paid out of profits or gains brought into charge to IT (ICTA88/S7 (1)); and
- the provisions of the Taxes Acts relating to the deduction of IT from annual payments and so on applied, except that the method for accounting was provided by what is now the machinery of ITA07/PART15/CHAPTER15, formerly ICTA88/SCH16, see CTM35100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm35100) onwards.
Accordingly a UK company had to deduct and account for IT in respect of payments to which ICTA88/S7 (1) applied.

This was the case even if the recipient was a company not chargeable to IT in respect of the payment.

Exemptions from deducting tax on certain payments

The exemption categories are now listed at ITA07/S875 to S888.

For example, interest paid by building societies, deposit takers and banks was likely, if paid on financial products, to be within the Tax Deduction Scheme for Interest (TDSI) and no accounting would then be required under the ICTA88/SCH16 machinery.

Aria Care

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 Aria Care 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 Aria Care 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
- 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.
