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 Lancer Scott Facilities Management 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 Lancer Scott Facilities Management 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
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
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.

Energy generation cost projections
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-06)

This collection brings together all documents relating to energy generation cost projections.

Electricity generation costs are a fundamental part of energy market analysis, and a good understanding of these costs on a comparable basis is important when analysing and designing policy.

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero commissions regular updates by independent consultants, giving their, and key stakeholder, estimates of these costs. Cost data is broken down into detailed expenditure per MW or MWh for the lifetime of a plant, from planning costs right through construction and operating costs to eventual decommissioning costs.

These component costs are used to calculate a ‘levelised cost’ for each technology. This is the average cost over the lifetime of the plant of generating per MWh of electricity. Using levelised costs allows the comparison of costs across technologies.

It should be noted there is a large amount of uncertainty when estimating the future costs of electricity generation, due to the difficulty in forecasting future fuel prices and the construction costs of technologies that have yet to be deployed at a large scale in the UK.

Government seeks new BSL Advisory Board members to break down barriers to opportunity faced by Deaf people
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-10)

The British Sign Language (BSL) Advisory Board is recruiting for a new co-chair and 15 new board members.

- Applications are now open for 15 new Board members and a new co-chair
- Current terms for BSL Advisory Board members are due to end 31 December 2025
- BSL Advisory Board plays a vital role in advising the government
The British Sign Language (BSL) Advisory Board is recruiting for a new co-chair and 15 new board members.

The terms of the current chair and members are due to run out on 31 December 2025 after members were recruited for a 3-year term in 2022.

The BSL Advisory Board chair advert will be live for 4 weeks, and the BSL Advisory Board member advert will be live for 6 weeks.

Minister for Social Security and Disability, Sir Stephen Timms MP, said:

This Government is committed to championing the rights of BSL users and Deaf people.

The BSL Advisory Board plays an integral role in advising the government on the day to day issues that Deaf people face and we will work closely with them so that their views and voices are at the heart of everything we do.

I look forward to continuing to work with the Board to deliver on our shared goals of breaking down barriers to opportunity for BSL users.

Following the passage of the BSL Act, the BSL Advisory Board was created to advise the government on key issues impacting the Deaf community in their everyday life.

It is the first dual language board advising the UK government, and operates in both BSL and English. The Board meets regularly and has established subgroups to focus on particular priorities including education and health and social care.

The Board has also established 2 short term working groups focussing on the Deafblind interpreter shortage and accessible technology.

Guided by lived experience, the BSL Advisory Board is central to the government’s mission to break down barriers to opportunity. It ensures the government meets its BSL Act duties, advising on key issues for Deaf people in education, health, technology, and Deafblindness.

The government is committed to a fair, open recruitment process, welcoming diverse skills and perspectives from across Great Britain, particularly under-represented groups.

BSL version of this press release

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8n-3IdxhgY

Notes to editors

An online webinar will be hosted by the Disability Unit to inform the Deaf community about the board member role and the recruitment process. Interpreters will be provided for this event.

Recruitment will be conducted in both BSL and English and applications will be welcomed in both languages.

Extra funding for courts to deliver speedier justice for victims
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-30)

Victims will get faster justice thanks to the courts sitting for a record number of days, the Deputy Prime Minister will announce in a speech today at the opening of the legal year (Wednesday 1 October).

- More trials will be heard as Deputy Prime Minister funds an extra 1,250 Crown Court sitting days
- Funding will help more cases to be heard this year, speeding up justice for victims
- Part of this Government’s Plan for Change to get the justice system back on its feet
The Crown Court will be able to sit for a total of 111,250 days this year – up by 5,000 compared to last year and reaching the highest levels on record. This follows an announcement from the Deputy Prime Minister later today that the government will fund an extra 1,250 days.

This will mean more trials can be heard – tackling the backlog of cases, making sure victims see their day in court more quickly and holding more criminals to account.

Deputy Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Justice, David Lammy, said:

The Crown Court backlog we inherited stands at over 78,000 and behind each case is a real person, waiting years for justice.

That is why we are acting with the biggest investment on record as part of our Plan for Change. An additional 1,250 sitting days will be allocated to the Crown Court this financial year, allowing it to hear many extra cases.

We know there is more to do, and generational reform that cannot wait, but this investment will help ease the torment and bring swifter justice to many more victims.

While extra sitting days will help to bring the backlog down in the short-term, only major reform will address the crisis in our courts.

Statistics released last week showed that there are now 78,329 Crown Court cases waiting to be heard. This means that victims are often waiting three or four years for their case to come to trial.

Sir Brian Leveson is conducting an Independent Review of the Criminal Courts to identify ways to reform the courts system. The first phase of his review has already been completed - the Deputy Prime Minister is carefully considering its proposals and the Government will respond in due course.

The review forms part of the government’s commitment to safer streets by reducing the court backlog, speeding up hearings for victims and defendants, and rebuilding public confidence in the criminal justice system.

Valuation Office Agency departmental spending over £25,000
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-28)

This series brings together all the monthly details of the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) spend with suppliers for transactions over £25,000.

The spreadsheets below set out monthly details of VOA’s spending with suppliers covering transactions over £25,000.

Explanations of headings used in the data:

Amounts

Invoice amounts are shown as positive (debit) values. Credit Note/Memo amounts are shown as negative (credit) values and are preceded by a minus sign (‘-‘). All figures shown are gross amounts paid inclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT).

Date column

Dates are posting dates; in this instance the date when the expense posting to the Trade Creditor account is posted for payment.

Expense type

Entries in this column are ‘Material Group’ descriptions defined within VOA’s ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system. This is the greatest level of detail (lowest level of granularity) that any commercial purchase is described in within the ERP system. Although limited by system text field length restrictions, this field information provides the most detailed description of the goods/services purchased and also provides for data collection/comparison/interrogation month-on-month from one period to the next.

Line amounts less than £25,000

HM Treasury guidance states: ‘If a single invoice has been coded to multiple expense types, and/or expense areas the value shown should be the amount paid against each individual expense types/expense area combination, even where each entry at this level may be less than £25,000.’

In line with this, our report discloses paid invoice expenditure where the gross value of the entire invoice is greater than £25,000 and breaks this down into separate invoice lines where more than one expense type/expense area is involved resulting in some entries with line amount less than £25,000.
