Bank Referral Scheme: Official Statistics
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-16)

The Bank Referral Scheme helps SMEs access finance and competition in the SME lending market.

The government’s Bank Referral Scheme is designed to help improve SME access to finance and competition in the SME lending market.

Launched in November 2016, the scheme requires 9 of the UK’s biggest banks to pass on the details of small businesses they have turned down for finance to three government designated finance platforms: Alternative Business Funding, Funding Options and Funding Xchange. These platforms are, in turn, required to share their details, in anonymous form, with alternative finance providers, helping to facilitate a conversation between the business and any provider who expresses an interest in supplying finance to them.

The scheme was introduced in response to evidence which shows that SMEs tend to approach their main bank when seeking finance and that, if rejected, many simply give up rather than seek alternative options. As other finance providers with different business models or risk appetites may be more willing to lend to these SMEs, this represents both an informational market failure and a significant barrier to entry for competitors in the SME lending market. The Bank Referral Scheme helps to address this by giving businesses that are viable, but do not fit the risk appetite of a particular lender, greater access to the finance they need to grow and thrive.

Following a recommendation from the Centre for Finance, Innovation and Technology (CFIT), the government brought forward a review of the scheme (https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk%2Fmedia%2F67210f6d3758e4604742a8cf%2FBRS_Post-Implementation_Review_2024.pdf&data=05%7C02%7CDigitalCommunications%40hmtreasury.gov.uk%7C7948902189594465daf508dd357f69b6%7Ced1644c505e049e6bc39fcf7ac51c18c%7C0%7C0%7C638725543521356207%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=3FC%2B%2BfyzH6kM%2FrkKYlQBoL9dXhLLR8s%2FvSmLbq%2BvZqE%3D&reserved=0), which was published in October 2024. Following this review, the government intends to launch a consultation on the future of the scheme by end of Spring 2025.

HM Treasury intends to update these statistics on an annual basis; however, the timing for future releases will be established following the consultation on the scheme.

AAIB Report: Grob G109B, G-CHYB
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-17)

Grob G109B (G-CHYB), aircraft pitched down from final approach and struck trees before coming to rest on the A419 near Aston Down Airfield, Gloucestershire, 27 August 2024

The aircraft was on the late stage of final approach to Aston Down Airfield when it pitched down rapidly. The aircraft struck trees and then came to rest on the A419. Both those on board were injured and taken to hospital by the emergency services. The aircraft was severely damaged and the A419 was closed for several hours. The passenger, an experienced glider pilot, was flying the approach. The passenger’s gliding experience meant that they would normally fly the approach with their right hand on the control column and their left hand controlling the rate of descent using the airbrake handle. Flying the Grob 109 from the right seat, this control arrangement was reversed. When attempting to reduce the rate of descent, the passenger inadvertently pushed forward on the control column which caused a rapid increase in the rate of descent which could not be corrected before the aircraft struck the ground.

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 City Security 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.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 City Security 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:
- 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
- Discounts
- 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.

Customs control of exports at Ro-Ro stations is not always based on load lists/inventory data. Drivers usually carry a comprehensive set of export documents and where required get clearance of goods and CT documents authentication at the shipping station before loading on to ferries. Loading information is often little more than a booking for the vehicle (or container) on the ferry. A copy of the vehicle manifest is use to provide the necessary goods information. Control by Customs, and the commercial operator, is exercised by means of the documents carried by the driver.

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 INIT Innovations in Transportation 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 INIT Innovations in Transportation 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
- Armed Forces Day
We also pledge the following:

Promoting the Armed Forces. Employment support to members of the Armed Forces Community. Communications, engagement and outreach.

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.
