SLC pays £1.1 billion in first term Maintenance Loan payments to students today
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-22)

The Student Loans Company (SLC) has paid £1.1 billion in first term Maintenance Loan payments into students’ bank accounts across the UK today (Monday 22nd September).

SLC enables more than 1.5 million students each year to invest in their futures by providing financial support to access further and higher education. Today marks the biggest payment date at the start of the 25/26 academic year, as students start or return to university. Similarly timed payments of £798 million were made in September 2023 and £0.9 billion in September 2024. This follows £686 million paid earlier in September, with the expectation that £2.3bn in maintenance funding will be paid by the end of the month. Tuition Fee Loan payments are paid directly to higher education providers later in the autumn.

SLC is encouraging students to log-in to their online account to track their application and payment progress. Payments are released to students when their university or college confirms that they have registered/enrolled. Once SLC has this information, it will send a text message to students a few days before the expected payment date to let them know that their Maintenance Loan is on the way.

As payments continue being made, SLC is reminding students to be vigilant of scams targeting their payments.

Soaper Stars - DO NOT CONTACT
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-10)

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 Soaper Stars - DO NOT CONTACT 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 Soaper Stars - DO NOT CONTACT 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.
Local Authority Planning Capacity and Capability Survey 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-04)

This report presents the second national survey of local planning authorities undertaken by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.

Building on the 2023 baseline (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-authority-planning-capacity-and-skills-survey-2023-findings) it provides the most detailed picture yet of planning capacity across England. The overall picture is mixed, but encouraging. Fewer authorities now report severe recruitment challenges and retention pressures have eased. Many councils are investing in their own talent pipelines through graduate and apprenticeship routes, and flexible working is becoming an increasingly important part of a competitive offer.
CIRD63240 - Land Remediation Relief: Subcontractors: Payment to a connected sub-contractor - on or after 1 April 2009
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-02)


This guidance applies to expenditure incurred on or after 1 April 2009.

CTA09/S1175

The question of whether a sub-contractor is connected to a company is to be determined in accordance with the broad definition of connected persons in CTA10/S1122. For further information on tests of control see, for example, CIRD45150 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird45150).

If the company and the sub-contractor are connected persons then a payment is qualifying expenditure on sub-contracted land remediation only if certain conditions are met. If the conditions are met, then the qualifying expenditure on subcontracted land remediation is restricted to relevant expenditure of the sub-contractor. The conditions are:
- The principal must have paid the sub-contractor. Until the payment has been made, there is no “sub-contractor payment” for the purposes of Land Remediation Relief; and
- The sub-contractor must recognise the payment in its profit and loss account, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice; and
- The whole of the payment must be brought into account in determining the sub-contractor's profit or loss for an accounting period that ends not more than twelve months after the accounting period of the contracting company in which the payment is an allowable deduction; and
- All of the sub-contractor's relevant expenditure must be brought into account in determining the sub-contractor's profit or loss for an accounting period that ends not more than twelve months after the accounting period of the contracting company in which the payment is an allowable deduction.
For these purposes any apportionment of the expenditure, of either the company or the subcontractor, is to be made on a just and reasonable basis.

For details of what is the relevant expenditure of the sub-contractor, see CIRD63245 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird63245).

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 Rheinmetall Defence UK 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;

Child Poverty Strategy
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-05)

This collection brings together publications related to the Child Poverty Strategy 2025.

In July 2024 the Prime Minister announced the creation of the Child Poverty Taskforce to deliver a lasting reduction in child poverty this Parliament through an ambitious 10-year strategy. The Taskforce, supported by the Child Poverty Unit in the Cabinet Office, has worked extensively across government and with external stakeholders to build a comprehensive evidence base, listening to children and families with lived experience, to develop a package of policies which tackle the structural and root causes of child poverty.

The government’s Child Poverty Strategy sets out the steps we are taking to reduce child poverty in the short term, as well as putting in place the building blocks we need to change the course we’re on and create long-term change. The strategy brings together the action the government has already taken, alongside new measures, to increase incomes, reduce essential costs and strengthen local services.

The Strategy also outlines how we will hold ourselves to account on delivering the impact we have promised through this Parliament and beyond through a robust approach to monitoring and evaluation.

The Child Poverty Strategy is UK wide and will deliver for children across all four nations.
