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 SQA Consulting 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 SQA Consulting 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
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
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.

Insolvency practitioner sanctions: Mark Prideaux 20May 2024 (2)
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-24)

On 20 May 2024 a Disciplinary Consent Order was made against Mark Prideaux FCA of Manchester, United Kingdom

Summary of complaint

This Order is made in relation to complaints that:

Between 1 February 2022 and 18 August 2022, Mr Mark Prideaux as Supervisor of the Individual Voluntary Arrangement of Ms “X” failed to deal with a change in financial circumstances properly and in a timely manner in breach of the Fundamental Principle of Professional Competence and Due Care as set out in the Insolvency Code of Ethics (effective from 1 May 2020).

On or around 25 September 2020, Mr Mark Prideaux in his capacity as Nominee of the Individual Voluntary Arrangement of Ms “X” failed to provide creditors with information to allow them to fully understand and consider the costs and expenses in breach of paragraphs 6 of Statement of Insolvency Practice 3.1 and/or 4 and 5 of Statement of Insolvency Practice 9.

The Central African Republic should continue working with MINUSCA to ensure free, fair and safe elections: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-28)

Statement by Caroline Quinn, UK Deputy Political Coordinator, at the UN Security Council meeting on MINUSCA

I join others in expressing condolences to the families of the five peacekeepers from the Republic of Congo who lost their lives in service last month. The United Kingdom commends their dedicated service and the service of all MINUSCA’s personnel, under SRSG Rugwabzia’s leadership in support of the government and people of the CAR.

I will make three points:

First, the upcoming elections in the Central African Republic represent a significant milestone. The United Kingdom welcomes the publication of the final voter list by the National Electoral Authority, which shows an increase in registered voters and improved gender representation.

We encourage the government of the CAR to continue working with MINUSCA to ensure inclusive, free, fair and safe elections.

Second, the United Kingdom welcomes progress made by the government of CAR, with MINUSCA’s support, on the national disarmament, demobilisation, reintegration and rehabilitation programme.

This programme can play an important role in supporting lasting peace and stability for the people of the CAR. We note that the programme has already contributed to the identification of 202 children for reintegration, and we encourage further such efforts.

Third, we welcome the progress made so far in improving the security situation in CAR but we note that more is needed. We particularly note the continuing impact of the conflict in Sudan on CAR and its neighbours.

We urge the government of the CAR to enhance its border management with Sudan to support refugees and prevent their exploitation by armed elements.

We also encourage the government of CAR to tackle human rights violations and abuses by armed groups including ‘Wagner Ti Azande,’ and ensure perpetrators are held to account.

We encourage the government of CAR to further consider its security partners, to ensure that the people of CAR achieve the sustainable and lasting peace they deserve.

The upcoming elections represent a critical point for the CAR. We look forward to working intensively with all Council members in the coming weeks to secure a renewed mandate for MINUSCA that best supports the realisation of our shared ambitions for long-term peace, stability, and security for the people of the Central African Republic.

References and list of enforcement notices and prosecutions which involved illegal activity with animal medicines in the last year.

The Enforcement policy (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/enforcement-policy-for-animal-medicines) for animal medicines sets out the general principles and approach that the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/veterinary-medicines-directorate/about) (VMD) will take to enforce the Veterinary Medicines Regulations (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/2033/contents) (VMR). The policy explains how and when enforcement notices or other action may be taken.

The Secretary of State owns the powers provided by the VMR, which include powers of entry (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/2033/regulation/34) and powers of an inspector (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/2033/regulation/35).

Our guidance documents (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/veterinary-medicines-guidance-notes-vmgns) listed under the ‘Supply’ heading explain what is allowed in GB, how medicines can legally be possessed and used, and by whom.

Publication of enforcement action

This page and chapter are under review as the relevant content is also published in the technical guidance chapters of the Compliance Handbook (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook), within Compliance checks factsheets (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hm-revenue-and-customs-compliance-checks-factsheets) and in Compliance checks guidance (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hmrc-compliance-checks-help-and-support). If you use particular pages regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know the specific content you find useful.

You should be prepared to repeat this process for each issue in dispute and on each occasion you receive evidence or facts which could be relevant.

When evaluating the facts and considering any further information provided, continue to stay open minded. Avoid fitting the facts to your view of the issue. In particular you should
- test your understanding of the facts with the person
- make sure you understand the person’s view of how the facts apply to their interpretation of the law
- test your view of the facts by analysing the strengths and weaknesses of your initial conclusion, using other team members to help you if necessary
- share any possible alternative view with the person
- obtain specialist advice when required (sooner rather than later).
In your review of the case you must also consider if the decision on the dispute will fall under the remit of one of the dispute resolution boards following the guidance set out here.

The results of this process may lead to a need for further consideration of whether it is worth taking the dispute forward. For example, you may find yourself in a position where you believe that although you hold the stronger argument the issue is finely balanced as the law could apply to the facts in different ways.

If you are still unable to resolve issues and reach agreement after following the above process then you may wish to suggest the person applies for Alternative Dispute Resolution (http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/complaints-appeals/how-to-appeal/adr.htm).

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 Strettons 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 Strettons 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.
Guidance on how the single source regulatory framework applies to qualifying sub-contracts
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-30)

The guidance identifies and summarises the provisions of the regulatory framework for single source defence contracts which relate to qualifying sub-contracts.

The regulatory framework for single source defence contracts applies to qualifying sub-contracts (QSCs) and to sub-contractors as it applies to qualifying defence contracts (QDCs) and to primary contractors subject to specified modifications. The regulatory framework defines when a contract is a QSC and confers a number of related obligations, rights, and powers, where specified, on the Ministry of Defence (MOD), the parties to qualifying contracts, and the SSRO. The SSRO’s guidance on qualifying sub-contracts identifies and summarises the relevant provisions of the regulatory framework and signposts readers to related SSRO guidance (for example, on contract pricing and on reporting) which should be considered alongside this document.

The guidance was prepared following a request from industry for an accessible summary of the complex regulatory provisions related to QSCs. The published guidance takes account of the feedback received from stakeholders on the draft guidance (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/guidance-on-how-the-regulatory-framework-applies-to-qualifying-sub-contracts) on which we consulted from April to May 2025.
CTM18590 - Shadow ACT: computation of: distributions outside an accounting period
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-04)


Where a distribution is made outside an accounting period (AP) it is treated as made in an AP matching that of the company's immediate parent in which the distribution falls, except that the period is shortened to exclude any part included in a true AP of the distributing company. Where the distribution does not fall in an AP of the immediate parent, its immediate parent is taken and so on until an accounting period in which the distribution can be treated as falling is found.

The 2025 release of the underlying OSCAR data under the government’s transparency agenda.

This annual set of raw data released from the OSCAR reporting system covers outturn for financial years 2020-21 to 2024-25 and in-year data for financial years 2024-25. This dataset, in addition to the previous OSCAR and COINS releases, makes public spending data more transparent.

OSCAR is a cross-government financial consolidation system that replaced the COINS public spending database. It’s a user-friendly system that provides us with key management information and data for public reporting. Please note that due to the increased level of detail contained in the OSCAR system, it is not backwards compatible with previous COINS releases.

Upper Tribunal Administrative Appeals Chamber decision by Judge Citron on 14 August 2025.

Read the full decision in UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-T (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/68c838638dd3590c7dd7aec0/UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-T.pdf).

Judicial Summary

The appellant removed its transport manager and then asked for a six month period of grace to rectify the situation and appoint a new one. The Traffic Commissioner refused the application for a period of grace, and the appellant’s licence was revoked. The appellant had provided details of its efforts to recruit a new transport manager, but the Traffic Commissioner, in explaining its decision, simply stated that the appellant had not provided “tangible evidence” to indicate a positive outcome. The Upper Tribunal decided that the Traffic Commissioner’s decision was inadequately explained: it was not clear if the Traffic Commissioner accepted the appellant’s evidence (and if it did not, why?); and if the Traffic Commissioner did accept the appellant’s evidence, it was unclear why there were not reasonable prospects for a new transport manager to be appointed in the course of the period of grace.
