Source: gov.uk (2025-02-11)

Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens chaired the eleventh Tata Steel/Port Talbot Transition Board in February 2025.

The Tata Steel / Port Talbot Transition Board met on 6 February 2025.

The Secretary of State for Wales and Chair of the Transition Board, Rt Hon Jo Stevens MP, sought endorsement from the Board to announce £8.2 million for the South Wales Industrial Transition from Carbon Hub (SWITCH). This project will support more than 100 jobs and generate more than £87 million for the South Wales economy, supporting the Government’s Plan for Change and economic growth mission.

This is the first project to receive funding as part of the growth and regeneration projects in Port Talbot. A collaboration between Swansea University, Cardiff University and the University of South Wales, with industry and public sector partners. The Transition Board funding is in addition to the £20 million from the Swansea Bay City Deal. SWITCH will deliver research to support and join up the decarbonisation transition. The announcement of further growth and regeneration projects are due to follow.

Today’s release of money is the fourth announcement from the UK Government’s £80m Tata Steel / Port Talbot Transition Board fund which, since last July, has announced £51 million to support individual steelworkers and businesses in Tata Steel’s supply chain to protect jobs and grow the local economy.

The Board also discussed mental health support, and further information on the interventions being developed to support mental health in the community will be announced at the next Transition Board meeting on 27th of March, following a mental health pilot at the Neath Port Talbot Council Support Hub in Aberafan Shopping Centre.

The Board also received updates on:
- Tata Steel UK’s decarbonisation programme;
- The Department of Business and Trade’s plans for a steel strategy;
- The Community Union Support Hub for affected workers; and
- The Transition Board funds that have already been announced, including applications received for the Supply Chain fund, and support being provided from the Employment and Skills fund.
Those in attendance included: Rt Hon Jo Stevens MP, Secretary of State for Wales; Rebecca Evans MS, Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning in the Welsh Government; Sarah Jones MP, Minister of State in the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the Department for Business and Trade; Cllr Steve K Hunt, Leader of Neath Port Talbot Council; Frances O’Brien, CEO of Neath Port Talbot Council; Rajesh Nair, CEO of Tata Steel UK; Stephen Kinnock, MP for Aberafan Maesteg; David Rees, MS for Aberavon; Tom Giffard, MS for the region of South Wales West; Luke Fletcher MS for the region of South Wales West; Sarah Williams-Gardener; Anne Jessopp CBE; Katherine Bennett CBE independent members of the Board; Alun Davies, National Officer for Steel & Metals, Community Union and Jason Bartlett, Regional Officer for Unite the Union.

Third State Pension age review: independent report call for evidence
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-18)

This call for evidence seeks views on what factors government should consider in determining State Pension age for future decades.

The Pensions Act 2014 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2014/19/section/27) requires the government to review State Pension age at least every six years.

Dr Suzy Morrissey has been appointed by the Department for Work and Pensions Secretary of State to prepare an independent report ahead of the third review of State Pension age.

This independent report must explore the key factors government should consider in determining State Pension age for future decades. This includes:
- the merits of linking State Pension age to life expectancy
- the role of State Pension age in managing the long-term sustainability of the State Pension
- the international experience of Automatic Adjustment Mechanisms for making decisions about State Pension age
This Call for Evidence seeks views and evidence on these areas.

Dr Suzy Morrissey is keen to hear views from a broad range of organisations, experts and individuals, including those who have an interest in the wider social and economic impacts of an ageing society.

Read the terms of reference (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/third-review-of-state-pension-age-independent-report-terms-of-reference/third-review-of-state-pension-age-independent-report-terms-of-reference) for the independent report for the third review of the State Pension age.

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 Upgrade Options 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 Upgrade Options 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:

- UK Reservists

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.

For guidance on expenses incurred by grouped or associated trading companies to which trading income rules apply, see BIM42140 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim42140).

CTA09/S54 (wholly and exclusively rule) has no direct relevance to management expenses under CTA09/S1219 but a holding company has no special position in relation to S1219 because it happens to be part of a group. It is a member of a group because of the degree of its investments in other companies and the other companies remain separate legal entities. The allowable expenses under S1219 must still be the expenses of managing the holding company's investments, and not the businesses or trades of the subsidiary companies.

There may be a holding company where there is some intermingling of the management of its business and the businesses of the subsidiary companies. In such cases, in practice, you need not disallow expenses if:
- they would have been allowable for UK tax purposes if incurred by the subsidiary, and
- the holding company arranges to charge out future expenses to the subsidiary.

Government response to the House of Lords inquiry into preterm birth: reducing risks and improving lives
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-14)

Details the government's response to the recommendations made by the House of Lords Preterm Birth Committee report.

Preterm birth is the single biggest cause of neonatal death and illness in the UK. In England in 2023, 8.1% of all births were preterm, which is higher than some other comparable countries. There are also inequalities in outcomes, with Black and Asian women, and women living in the most deprived areas, more likely to give birth prematurely. While preventing preterm births is complex due to various risk factors, reducing their incidence could yield substantial benefits and cost savings across healthcare, education and public sectors, and, critically, help improve the experiences of families.

We therefore welcome the report of the House of Lords Preterm Birth Committee, Preterm birth: reducing risks and improving lives (https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/701/preterm-birth-committee/), and thank all individuals and organisations that gave evidence to the inquiry. This document details the government’s response to the recommendations made and sets out the improvements we are making to ensure everybody receives the care that they deserve.

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 Cornerstone Business Solutions 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 Cornerstone Business Solutions 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
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
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.

PM meeting with Prime Minister Tusk of Poland: 17 January 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-17)

The Prime Minister met the Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk today in Warsaw.

The Prime Minister met the Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk today in Warsaw.

The leaders had a warm and productive discussion, beginning by reflecting on the Prime Minister and Lady Starmer’s visit to Auschwitz and how 80 years on from its liberation, the world must never forget the atrocities committed there.

The UK and Poland are close allies and share an important relationship which the leaders agreed to continue to strengthen to deliver economic growth, security and prosperity for both countries.

They were delighted to announce the start of talks on a new Defence and Security Treaty, which will bring the UK and Poland even closer together to tackle shared threats – including Putin’s ongoing aggression, the vile people smuggling gangs fueling illegal migration, and protecting our energy security.

On Ukraine, the Prime Minister updated Prime Minister Tusk on his recent visit and meetings with President Zelenskyy. It was vital that international partners continue to support Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression, the leaders agreed.

They looked forward to speaking again soon.
IHTM12156 - Succession: Intestacy: Distributions under intestacy (Scotland): Partial intestacy
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-09)


The statutory rules of intestacy (IHTM12142 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm12142)) apply not only where there is no Will but also where a Will has left any part of the deceased's estate undisposed of. Partial intestacy cases are fairly uncommon, but when they do arise, they can be extremely complex.

In a partial intestacy, the intestate part of the estate may be subject to prior and/or legal rights claims (IHTM12201 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm12201)) if the intestate was survived by a spouse or civil partner (IHTM11032 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm11032)) and/or children. The extent of these rights will depend on the nature of the intestate estate (heritable or moveable).

Occasionally a partial intestacy will arise long after the deceased's death, for example following the death of an individual who had been entitled to an intervening life interest in part of the estate. The chain of events resulting in partial intestacy will generally have been unforeseen and may be most unusual.

If you see a case and are unsure how to deal with it, seek advice.
