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 Meldrum Construction (Perth) 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 Meldrum Construction (Perth) 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
- Reserve 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.

Now is the time for de-escalation and a return to diplomacy: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-22)

Statement by Ambassador Barbara Woodward, UK Permanent Representative to the UN, at the emergency UN Security Council meeting on Iran.

This is a pivotal moment for the region.

A further spiral of conflict poses serious risks to regional and international peace and stability. Our foremost priority must now be to support de-escalation.

We have long made clear that Iran must not have a nuclear weapon and their nuclear programme represents a serious threat to international peace and security.

The United States took action last night to alleviate that threat.

The United Kingdom did not participate in US or Israeli strikes.

But military action alone cannot bring a durable solution to concerns about Iran’s nuclear programme.

My Prime Minister has been clear. We urge Iran now to show restraint, and we urge all parties to return to the negotiating table and find a diplomatic solution, which stops further escalation and brings this crisis to an end.

It is in the interests of all parties to pursue such a deal.

This was the joint call made by my Prime Minister, with his French and German counterparts earlier today. Together with our E3 partners, the UK has long pursued a diplomatic solution to address Iran’s nuclear escalation. On Friday, alongside E3 and EU colleagues, my Foreign Secretary met Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi in Geneva to press directly for a return to diplomacy. My Foreign Minister spoke to Foreign Minister Araghchi again today and stressed the urgency of this and we continue to engage partners across the region.

President, the UK reiterates its full support for the IAEA and Director General Grossi for their critical work, professionalism and impartiality. The IAEA and the Non-Proliferation Treaty are key pillars of international security. Threats against IAEA staff and the DG are unacceptable. We urge Iran to cooperate fully with the IAEA. Failure to do so will only further fuel escalation.

President, now is the time for de-escalation and a return to diplomacy. It is essential Iran chooses this path.

Uniformed Youth Fund evaluation reports: 2022 to 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-10)

An independent study covering the process and impact evaluation of the Uniformed Youth Fund.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) commissioned an independent provider (Ipsos) to conduct an evaluation covering the Uniformed Youth Fund (UYF) from 2022 to 2025.

The process report explores how the fund was delivered and to what extent it achieved its objectives. The process evaluation used a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collected throughout the fund’s implementation. Monitoring reports, interview data, in depth case study data from new units (involving interviews and observations), as well as survey data was used.

The impact report explores the impact of Uniformed Youth Organisation (UYO) participation on young people. The impact evaluation used a mixed-methods approach, using both a quasi-experimental design and a theory-based contribution analysis, to assess the impact of UYO participation on young people.

The combined executive summary sets out a summary of both reports.

Discharge of inward processing and the methods of disposal
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-30)

Information on the discharge of inward processing and the methods of disposal.

Period of Discharge

The Period for Discharge is the time required from declaring goods to inward processing to putting the goods to an eligible discharge. The importer should select a Period of Discharge which is based on the amount of time required to process the product. HMRC may ask to see production timelines as in most cases the Period of Discharge will be no more than 12 months. However, there can be exceptions, and the holder of the authorisation can request an extension for Supervising Customs Office to consider. If more storage time is required before or after processing, then Customs Warehousing may be required.

For example, an importer may need to store goods prior to being processed. A large supply of goods might have been purchased to be used throughout a whole year on a process which takes only one month. In this scenario most of the goods are stored for more than 5 months prior to processing. It would therefore be appropriate for the goods to be first declared to CW and then to IP once the goods are required for processing.

If an importer applies for IP and states their process is under Usual Forms of Handling (UFH), the maximum Period of Discharge for Usual Forms of Handling is for 3 months. This is because the process is simple repackaging and sorting.

IP goods may undergo Usual Forms of Handling intended to preserve them, improve their appearance or marketable quality or prepare them for distribution or resale.

In general, the criteria to be applied are that an operation is allowable if it:
- does not change the nature of the goods
- does not improve the performance of the original goods
- is not for the sole purpose of increasing the value of the goods
- is a relatively limited operation, for example, the original import goods have been manufactured with the provision for the addition of components, that is fittings/connections/electrics already in place or pre-cut/pre-marked apertures
Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2018/22/schedule/2/part/4/crossheading/meaning-of-goods-declared-for-an-inward-processing-procedure-in-the-supplementary-form) 11(b)

Another restriction on Period of Discharge is prior export equivalence where the time to import equivalent goods is 6 months.

Guidance on the licensing of biosimilar products
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-27)

Guidelines to provide developers of biosimilar products with a clear outline of the requirements in Great Britain.

The purpose of this guideline is to provide developers of similar biological medicinal products (also known as biosimilars) with a clear outline of the requirements for biosimilar products in Northern Ireland/Great Britain/UK.

Applicants should also take into account principles contained within the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) guidelines.

This MHRA guidance contains further clarifications and some revisions to these CHMP guidance documents, which take into account the scientific and regulatory experience gained since the first biosimilar product was licensed in 2006, including biosimilar monoclonal antibodies and fusion proteins licensed from 2013 (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1359644620303433?via%3Dihub).

Further information

Broader guidance to stakeholders and links to educational resources are available in the NHS England publication What is a biosimilar medicine? (https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/what-is-a-biosimilar-medicine/)

This page is for licensing biosimilars only.

HCOTEG174520 - Meter Proving: Guidance
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-29)


Guidance to the trade on meter proving is contained in section 8 of HM39. See HCOTEG171500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/oils-technical-manual/hcoteg171500).Certificates of calibration of proving systems given by independent experts or authorities, such as the DBT, are acceptable to us.

It is recommended that meters are tested or proved on installation, and then at 3 months and 6 months. If these results are satisfactory, routine proving may be carried out at six-monthly intervals. Proving is often carried out by subcontractors, who will provide the trader with a certificate, but it is the trader who remains responsible for the accuracy of their meters. This is also true, even where the trader sub-contracts out the metering as well, as can be the case for loading gantries. Failing meters should be taken out of use immediately. If a replacement meter is not available, alternative means of measurement will need to be put in place and agreed with HMRC. Any replacement meter will need to be proved prior to being used for revenue accounting.

Collective rights management in the UK
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-29)

The 2024/25 annual review of the IPO’s work monitoring collective management organisations and other licensing bodies.

The government passed regulations in 2016 about the activities of collective management organisations and ‘independent management entities’ (PDF, 181 KB) (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/221/pdfs/uksi_20160221_en.pdf).

The Intellectual Property Office (IPO) is responsible for monitoring compliance with the regulations. This review talks about the IPO’s activities in this area from April 2024 to March 2025.
