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 North West Climate Services 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 North West Climate Services 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

Integrating clean cooking into National Energy Access Planning
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-06)

Tools and considerations for planning and implementing eCooking.

Abstract

This Knowledge Brief aims to inform approaches to energy access planning in low- and middle-income countries that simultaneously address access to electrification and clean cooking. It focuses on eCooking which is at the heart of this integration.

The Knowledge Brief provides a review of relevant tools and methodologies for integrated energy access planning and gives an overview of policy, finance and knowledge initiatives that help create enabling conditions for these plans to be implemented and to propel clean cooking transitions. Benefits of eCooking are numerous, spanning positive health impacts, emission, and deforestation reductions, as well as time and cost savings, particularly for women. To unlock the eCooking potential and facilitate faster and more efficient transition pathways, integrating cooking and electricity considerations in planning exercises, and increasing the linkages between energy system and access planning is critical to build more integrated and resilient energy systems which meet local demand reliably and affordably. Although most of the current planning initiatives tend to focus on parts of such integrated approaches, there has been an increase in the number of attempts combining relevant planning tools to increase the level of cross-sectoral and vertical integration of energy planning, particularly as more open-source tools have become available. Fully integrating energy systems and energy access planning, while considering the electrification-cooking feedback loops in the latter, could allow planners to conceptualise the interplay between infrastructure availability, e-cooking viability and demand, and system sizing and technology options from the start.

This report is part of the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) Programme.

Fishing industry 2024 statistics published
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-02)

The Marine Management Organisation (MMO), on behalf of the UK Fishing Authorities, has published its annual UK Sea Fisheries Statistics for 2024.

View the full report, tables and underlying datasets here (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-sea-fisheries-annual-statistics-report-2024).

The Sea Fisheries Statistics brings together statistics for all UK fishing authorities to provide a complete picture of fishing activity in the UK.

The report includes statistics about the size and composition of the UK fleet, including the number of vessels and capacity, landings of sea fish, including the volume and value of fish landed, fishing effort and trade of fisheries products.

Key statistics include:

In 2024, UK vessels landed 745 thousand tonnes of sea fish with a value of £1.16 billion. Compared to 2023, this is an increase of 4% in quantity (26 thousand tonnes) and an increase in value of 5% (£53.88 million).

In 2024 there were 5,232 UK registered fishing vessels. Approximately 79% (4,140 vessels) of the UK fleet is represented by vessels under 10 metres in length, accounting for 4% of quantity of all landings.

Effort is a measure of the amount of time spent at sea. Since 2004, fishing effort (kW days at sea) by the over 10 metre fleet has decreased by around 40%. Most of the reduction in effort is driven by a 41% decline in effort in the demersal trawl and seine segment.

In 2024, the UK imported 633 thousand tonnes of fish and fish preparations, with an import value of £3.5 billion. It exported 380 thousand tonnes of fish and fish preparations, with an export value of £2.0 billion.

The process by which a person may make this report is referred to as “making a disclosure” or “whistleblowing”.

To be covered by whistleblowing law, the disclosure must be a ‘qualifying disclosure’. This is any disclosure of information which, in the reasonable belief of the worker making the disclosure, is made in the public interest and tends to show that one or more of the following has occurred, is occurring or is likely to occur:
- a criminal offence (this may include, for example, types of financial impropriety such as fraud)

EF v The London Borough of Bromley (HB): [2025] UKUT 344 (AAC)
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-03)

Upper Tribunal Administrative Appeals Chamber decision by Judge Paines on 10 October 2025.

Read the full decision in UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-HB (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6908c092823bdda9488b25c4/UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-HB.pdf).

Judicial Summary

I allow this appeal. I consider that the First-tier Tribunal’s decision involved an error of law because it misapplied the legislation that it considered.

The claimant suffers from a serious mental health condition and was in receipt of various benefits including housing benefit in respect of her then home. She moved out of that property in early November 2022 and into another property in the same borough in early December 2022. She did not tell the Borough Council about either move. The council found out from the DWP and wrote to the claimant suspending her housing benefit (HB). A week later the council wrote again asking her to give information and enclosing a form for completion within one month; the letter did not refer to the possibility of asking for an extension of the one month deadline. A reminder was sent. The claimant did not reply.

A month later, on 21 February 2023, the council wrote saying that they had “de-suspended and stopped” the claimant’s HB claim and that there had been an overpayment which was recoverable, and an invoice would be raised. Subsequently, following further information, the period of the overpayment was extended backwards in time.

Later, with support from Mind, the claimant made contact with the council and appealed the council’s decision to the First-tier Tribunal, arguing that the decision to stop her HB completely should be replaced by a closed period supersession, stopping HB for the period when she was between tenancies and reinstating it from the time she became eligible for it in respect of the new tenancy. The tribunal dismissed her appeal on the ground that the claimant’s entitlement to HB had ceased as a result of the decision and she now had to claim universal credit.

I have held that that reasoning involved an error of law. The decision stopping the claimant’s HB was under appeal to the tribunal which could replace it with the decision that the council ought to have made. This included a closed period supersession if (as appears to be the case) the claimant was entitled to HB again as at the date of the council’s decision. The position would be different if regulation 14 of the Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations 2001 applied. The tribunal did not consider whether regulation 14 applied. I have considered regulation 14 and concluded that it did not apply as some of the requirements for it to apply, as set out in previous decisions of the Upper Tribunal, were not satisfied.

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.

UN Human Rights Council 58: UK Statement at the Interactive Dialogue on the High Commissioner's Report on Myanmar
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-03)

UK Statement at the 58 Human Rights Council during the Interactive Dialogue on on the High Commissioner's Report on Myanmar. Delivered by UK Ambassador for Human Rights to the UN, Eleanor Sanders.

Thank you High Commissioner for your update.

We are now in the fourth year since the coup and the crisis in Myanmar is only deepening. The military continues to intensify its violent and repressive onslaught. Schools and hospitals have been targeted. Indiscriminate airstrikes on civilians have increased. There is no justification for such abhorrent attacks on innocent civilians.

The UK is alarmed by the escalating violence, human rights violations and gender-based violence. All actors, especially the Myanmar Military, must prioritise the protection of civilians. We call on the Military to stop the violence – especially the airstrikes – and release all those arbitrarily detained.

The humanitarian situation is critical, with almost 20 million people in need of assistance. We call on all actors, especially the military, to allow safe and unimpeded humanitarian access. The UK is providing more than £66 million in assistance this year.

Accountability is vital. We must break the cycle of impunity. This is why the UK supports the work of the International Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar. And this is why we announced our nineteenth round of sanctions in November last year targeting the military regime’s access to arms, aviation fuel and dual-use equipment.

IEIM905320 - Daily Penalties
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-10)


Where a failure continues after HMRC have charged an initial penalty, HMRC may charge a daily penalty. HMRC would normally charge daily penalties for a period of approximately thirty days starting from the date of issue of the initial penalty. If a failure continues after a first set of daily penalties has been issued, further daily penalties may be issued. Again these will normally cover a period of approximately thirty days starting from the date of issue of the previous set of daily penalties. Once the return is submitted, or the failure is rectified, HMRC would not normally seek to charge further daily penalties for the intervening period between the issue of the previous penalty and subsequent submission or rectification.When assessing the penalty, HMRC will consider the frequency of the failure. The first set of daily penalties will be set at a lower level, while subsequent sets of daily penalties will be set at an increased level. Where a failure is followed by subsequent years of compliance, a further failure will attract a lower penalty again.
