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 GPR Dehler 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 GPR Dehler 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

- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists

We also pledge the following:

-Working with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP), in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for Service Leavers

PM remarks following the Coalition of the Willing meeting in Paris: 27 March 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-27)

The Prime Minister gave remarks following a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing in Paris this afternoon.

It is now over two weeks since Ukraine agreed to an immediate 30-day ceasefire.

That offer is still unanswered. It is over a week since Putin agreed to an energy and infrastructure ceasefire.

Since then, Russia has hit energy infrastructure in cities across Ukraine.

They’ve increased their bombardment.

Firing over 1,000 long range drones at the country.

Hitting homes, schools and hospitals, with widespread civilian casualties.

One drone killed a mother, father and their daughter – an innocent family.

Then, this week we saw the agreement on a ceasefire in the Black Sea.

I welcomed this as a vital first step forward.

But within a few minutes of the announcement,

Russia set out new conditions and delays.

Now President Trump has rightly called them out for dragging their feet.

And we agreed here in Paris today that it’s clear the Russians are filibustering.

They are playing games and playing for time.

It is a classic from the Putin playbook.

But we can’t let them drag this out while they continue prosecuting their illegal invasion.

Instead, we should be setting a deadline of delivering real progress.

And we should hold them to that deadline.

So here in Paris we agreed that we must go further now to support the peace process. Support Ukraine and increase the pressure on Russia to get serious.

That means – first – stepping up the military pressure.

So the Defence Secretary will chair the next Ukraine Defence Contact Group on 11 April, to marshal more military aid and keep Ukraine in the fight.

Because peace comes through strength.

That was one of the main messages reasserted today and emphasised today all-round the table.

Second, it means increasing the economic pressure on Russia – accelerating new, tougher sanctions, bearing down on Russia’s energy revenues - and working together to make this pressure count.

We also discussed how we can support the implementation of a full or partial ceasefire, when it is in place, and how we can build efforts towards negotiations on a just and lasting peace.

That remains our shared goal. And that is what the Coalition of the Willing is designed to support.

The political will from partners here today was clear.

And this week in London we hosted over 200 military planners from 30 countries. Coming forward with contributions on everything from logistics and command and control, to deployments on land, air and sea.

That work continues at pace.

We will be ready to operationalise a peace deal whatever its precise shape turns out to be.

And we will work together to ensure Ukraine’s security so it can defend and deter against future attacks.

This is Europe mobilising together behind the peace process on a scale we haven’t seen for decades.

Backed by partners from around the world, we are determined to deliver a just and lasting peace.

Because we know it is vital for Ukraine and Europe as a whole and I am clear that it is vital for Britain.

Small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) banking undertakings
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-01)

The Undertakings limit the bundling of loans and deposit accounts with business current accounts for SME customers.

Final decision to release remaining undertakings

1 December 2025: The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) published the final decision in its review of the remaining provisions of the undertakings (https://www.gov.uk/cma-cases/review-of-sme-banking-undertakings-2002). The undertakings have now been released in entirety and will be removed from the register of remedies in force.

In the CMA’s final decision of 9 August 2016 following its review of the SME banking undertakings 2002, the CMA decided to release undertakings 21 to 24 (relating to price transparency). The CMA aligned release with implementation of the CMA’s open banking remedies package. Following completion of the CMA’s open banking remedies package in September 2024, undertakings 21 to 24 have therefore expired.

Provisional decision to release remaining undertakings

13 August 2025: The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) published the provisional decision in its review of the remaining provisions of the undertakings (https://www.gov.uk/cma-cases/review-of-sme-banking-undertakings-2002). We have provisionally decided that the undertakings are no longer appropriate and should be released. We are now consulting on our provisional decision and notice of intention to release (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/provisional-decision-review-of-the-sme-banking-undertakings-2002).

2 April 2025: The CMA consulted on a review of those provisions within the SME Banking Behavioural Undertakings 2002 (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/review-of-sme-banking-undertakings-2002) which remain in force.

Undertakings released

9 August 2016: following a formal remedy review process (https://www.gov.uk/cma-cases/sme-banking-undertakings-review#final-decision), the CMA released the:

switching undertakings

transitional undertakings (including relevant clauses within the behavioural undertakings)

clauses within the behavioural undertakings that relate to portable credit history and transparency

The CMA decided to retain the bundling clauses in the behavioural undertakings (paragraphs 17 to 20), which prohibit the signatory banks from compelling a customer to open or maintain a business current account (BCA) alongside their loan or deposit account.

Description of the undertakings

These undertakings were given under the monopoly provisions of the Fair Trading Act 1973. They were signed by the UK’s leading banks and require them to:

ensure that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can open a deposit account without also needing to open a BCA

publish details of their tariffs

meet time targets for account switching services

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 Hytorc 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 Hytorc 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
We also pledge the following:

Promoting the fact that we are an armed forces-friendly organisation and publicising our Armed Forces Covenant commitments through our website and displaying the Armed Forces Covenant logo

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.
