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 ERS Medical 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 ERS Medical 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
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
We also pledge the following:

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

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.

ECSH82725 - Sanctions for non-compliance: financial penalties: calculating the amount of a financial penalty
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-13)


When the decisionmaker (DM) has considered all of factors and has decided that a financial penalty is appropriate, they should then go on to consider what would be an appropriate amount (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh85650) for the penalty.

The DM should refer to the financial penalties framework in order to calculate the appropriate penalty relevant to the circumstances of the case.

Economic Crime - Supervision have a sanctions framework and financial penalties can be categorised according to four types:

Type 1 – Compliance breaches (benefits gained or scale charge), see ECSH82785 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh82785) and ECSH82790 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh82790).

The penalty is calculated differently for money service businesses (MSBs)/high value dealers (HVDs)/art market participants (AMPs) and trust or company service providers (TCSPs) /accountancy service providers (ASPs)/estate agency businesses (EABs)/ letting agency businesses (LABs).

This is because of the different vulnerabilities to money laundering which are likely to arise as a result of regulatory contraventions within these business sectors.

The basic difference is that regulatory breaches by MSBs, HVDs and AMPs mean that their actual business income or turnover will potentially include proceeds of crime which may have been successfully laundered through their business when The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017) are not correctly applied. In contrast, regulatory contraventions by TCSPs/ASPs/EABs/LABs expose the business to the risk of being exploited by customers for money laundering. The amount of money potentially exposed to money laundering as a result of the breaches will have a direct relationship to the number of clients who were not subjected to the controls imposed by MLR 2017.

Type 2 – Trading whilst unregistered (carrying out relevant activity/activities whilst unregistered), see ECSH82795 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh82795).

Type 3 – Failure to notify HMRC of material changes and/or inaccuracies to information provided at registration or subsequently, see ECSH82800 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh82800).

Type 4 – Failure to provide information or access to premises, see ECSH82805 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh82805).

For further guidance, see ECSH82775 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh82775).

Culex modestus

Culex modestus is considered an important vector and principle bridge vector for West Nile Virus. It has been implicated in outbreaks in humans and equids in Europe. It feeds readily on both birds and mammals, including humans. It is associated with wetland habitats and commonly found in drainage ditches.

Figure 1: Example of habitat, North Kent marshes

Historic records and rediscovery in the UK

Culex modestus was first detected in the UK on Hayling Island in 1944, however only a handful were reported in 1944 and 1945, and it was believed to be absent in the UK. In 2010 however, Cx. modestus was found in the North Kent marshes. Targeted surveillance in the region found it had established, with records in this region every year since. Surveillance in 2016 found Cx. modestus larvae in Cambridgeshire.

Current distribution in England

As of 2024, Culex modestus is now known to be present in Hampshire, West Sussex, Kent, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. Larvae have also been found in Dorset, but not since 2014, despite larval and adult surveillance in the area. Below is the most recent map showing distribution.

Five non-executive directors (NEDs) have been reappointed to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) board, with the majority of their new terms to begin in September 2025.

The board advises on the Agency’s strategic direction and supports the Chief Executive by providing leadership, developing strategy, advising on policy delivery, maintaining high standards of corporate governance, scrutinising performance, and ensuring that controls are in place to manage risk.

Two directors have been reappointed for two years:

Professor Graham Cooke, beginning 1 September 2025.

Dr Paul Goldsmith, beginning 1 September 2025.

Three directors have been reappointed for an additional year:

Data relating to people with dementia, such as prevalence and diagnostics, risk factors, use of hospital services and mortality.

This page is no longer being updated.

From March 2025, a new page for data updates will be published. These will be available in the Dementia data and intelligence (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/dementia-data-and-intelligence) collection.

This page title has been updated to reflect that it contains the commentary from the December 2024 update.

An indicator update for December 2024 is now available in the dementia surveillance factsheet (https://fingertips.phe.org.uk/profile/dementia/supporting-information/surveillance%20factsheet).

About the dementia profile

The dementia profile is designed to improve the availability and accessibility of information on dementia. The data is presented in an interactive tool that allows users to view and analyse it in a user-friendly format.

The profile is structured around ‘The Well Pathway for Dementia’, available on the NHS England Dementia page (https://www.england.nhs.uk/mental-health/dementia/), with indicators arranged into 5 data domains:
- pathway on a page
- preventing well
- diagnosing well and prevalence
- living well and supporting well
- dying well
Indicators in the dementia profile are shown for integrated care boards (ICBs) and sub locations (sub ICBs) where used, and for local authority geographies. This data gives local commissioners and providers the information needed to benchmark current practice against other areas in England and the England level.

Goods allowed and conditions for an ATA Carnet(Istanbul Convention Annexes B to E)

Goods allowed

The goods allowed under an ATA carnet will depend on which of the conventions the importing country or territory has signed. The Istanbul Convention (1990) allows a greater variety of items to use an ATA carnet than the ATA convention (1961). Each country is permitted to allow a greater facilitation if they so wish.

This means a purchaser of a carnet should check that the countries of import will allow the items in and that they meet any restrictions on use. If in doubt they should check with the Chamber issuing the carnet.

Other conditions

Some items have various conditions that must be met by an applicant for a carnet to be issued.

These conditions can include a residential or ownership restriction: the purpose for which the goods are to be used, or a shorter time period for temporary importation. Again it is the responsibility of the carnet holder to ensure they can comply with the rules of the importing country. Officers at the point of exit from the UK cannot be expected to determine if the carnet meets all the conditions in the destination countries. If they have prior knowledge of a country's they may warn the carnet holder that the carnet may be invalid for part of their journey.

Eco eel pass to lead the way for species migration in Cumbria
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-15)

Work is underway to replace an outdated eel pass at Newby Bridge Weir to encourage better migration for the critically endangered European eel.

Activity is underway to replace an eel pass in Cumbria as part of work by the Environment Agency to improve river ecosystems and support the safe migration of the European eel.

The European eel has suffered a dramatic decline in recent decades due to habitat loss, overfishing and barriers such as weirs that disrupt its long migration routes.

Action is now being taken to improve eel passage in the River Leven by replacing the existing fish pass at Newby Bridge. It is outdated and no longer meets modern standards for safety, remote monitoring, or effective water management.

Formal notice has now been given for its removal, with a new, improved eel pass required to be fully installed and operational by March 2026. Construction began on 14th July 2025 and will continue for approximately seven weeks

The project will introduce a hybrid eel pass system, designed to enhance eel migration and biodiversity while minimising any environmental impact.

At the heart of the improvements is an intelligent float switch-controlled pump. This system activates during low water flows to assist eel movement, ensuring their continued migration even in challenging conditions.

When water levels rise, the float switch automatically deactivates the pump which will allow migrating eels to use the natural river flow. This is especially important to help promote effective movement to their local habitats .

This adaptive pumping approach not only supports the local eel population but also reduces energy consumption, contributing to a more sustainable water management solution.

Improvements for maintenance, reliability and resilience

Once completed, the pass will also feature pebble resin strips, a specialised material that aids eel movement while limiting the build-up of debris.

During periods of high flow, the design allows for natural self-cleaning, reducing the need for manual maintenance and helping to maintain higher water quality standards by minimising blockages and stagnation.

To further improve efficiency, the system has been designed for easy visual inspection from the riverbank and will include remote monitoring capabilities, strengthening overall maintenance, reliability, and long-term resilience.

Francis Frimpong, Environment Agency project manager, said:

Replacing the eel pass at Newby Bridge is part of our ongoing commitment to protecting endangered European eels and improving river ecology across the region.

Over recent years, significant improvements in water quality—thanks to targeted investment, regulatory action, and partnership work—have helped support the recovery of native species across Cumbria.

This new eel pass is another step forward in improving river connectivity and enhancing biodiversity. By enabling eels to navigate past man-made barriers, we’re helping to restore their natural migratory routes and strengthen their numbers for the future.
