UN Human Rights Council 60: UK Statement for the Annual Discussion on the Integration of a Gender Perspective throughout the work of the Human Rights Council and that of its Mechanisms
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-30)

UK Statement for the annual discussion on the integration of a gender perspective throughout the work of the Human Rights Council and that of its mechanisms. Delivered by the UK's Human Rights Ambassador, Eleanor Sanders.

Thank you, Mr President.

The UK has consistently championed the integration of a gender perspective in transitional justice. Our commitment is practical as well as political.

We are dedicated to ensuring survivors of conflict-related sexual violence receive justice, and that those responsible are held accountable. Through the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative, we have worked globally to strengthen legal systems, share expertise and promote the meaningful and safe participation, leadership, and representation of women in decision making.

In Colombia, as we have just heard, women’s movements are central to peace. The UK has supported transitional justice efforts, by funding and advocating gender-based violence cases through our support for civil society and parliamentary engagement.

In Syria, we have consistently underlined the importance of an inclusive transitional process – one that protects the rights of all Syrians, including women and girls, addresses the legacy of human rights violations during the Syria conflict, fosters social cohesion and prevents reoccurrence.

Mr President,

While we have seen progress on the integration of a gender perspective in transitional justice, structural inequalities and an increase in gender-specific violations continue to affect women, girls and people from diverse gender identities.

Could the panellist share thoughts on how the council can ensure a strong gender-responsive approach to transitional justice globally?

Thank you.
Using Data from Third Parties for Research and Statistics: High-Level Ethics Checklist
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-29)

This high-level checklist is designed to guide researchers and analysts through some key points that will need to be considered prior to accessing data that has been collected by, or sourced from, third party organisations.

Description

This high-level checklist is designed to guide researchers and analysts through some key points that will need to be considered prior to accessing data that has been collected by, or sourced from, third party organisations. This may include data from other government departments, commercial organisations or other institutions.
- It is not expected that you will be able to answer these questions alone, but you should work with colleagues specialising in data protection, legal services and data acquisition within your organisation to ensure that you have adequately considered all of these aspects and can demonstrate appropriate ethical considerations in the use of third party data for research and statistics.
- This checklist should be used in conjunction with the existing UK Statistics Authority ethics self-assessment tool (https://uksa.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/the-authority-board/committees/national-statisticians-advisory-committees-and-panels/national-statisticians-data-ethics-advisory-committee/ethics-self-assessment-tool/) and provides a basis to identify the different subject matter experts that you will need to engage with prior to accessing third party data. It establishes a foundation for discussion with these various colleagues (e.g., data acquisition teams, data protection teams, legal teams, data ethics teams) to ensure that the data that we use and access has been collected, stored and shared in line with the UK Statistics Authority’s ethical principles.

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 Comserv (UK) 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 Comserv (UK) 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 Spouses And Partners
- UK Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- 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.

Official Injury Claim Advisory Group
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-10)

The Official Injury Claim Advisory Group (OICAG) has been set up to support the implementation of the government's Whiplash Reform Programme.

The OICAG has representation from a cross-section of interested stakeholders and helps to ensure that the service remains accessible and works well for all users.

Role of the group

The overall purpose of the OICAG is to consider stakeholder feedback and operational data related to the impact and function of the OIC service. It considers and advises on operational performance and suggests possible improvements to enhance the service provided.

It is not the role of the group to consider changes to government policy, although it is accepted that policy issues may arise from consideration of discussions held with the OICAG. However, all decisions on whether and how changes are made remains the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice (MoJ).

Membership

The group is made up of a mix of permanent members drawn from representative bodies and expert organisations to represent the views of OIC users. Depending on the agenda of each meeting, the permanent members will also be supplemented by subject-matter experts. These additional attendees will be invited by MoJ to provide input on particular areas on a meeting-by-meeting basis.

The group is chaired by a senior policy official from the MoJ.

Membership includes a representative of:
- Association of Personal Injury Lawyers
- Motor Accident Solicitors Society
- Forum of Insurance Lawyers
- Association of British Insurers
- HM Courts and Tribunals Service
- MedCo
- Civil Procedure Rules Committee
Meetings

The Advisory Group holds meetings twice per year. The last meeting took place on 24 April 2025. The next meeting will take place in October 2025.

Further information

The MoJ will review the work of the advisory group on an ongoing basis and reserves the right to amend its structure and membership as the reform programme beds in.

The formation of the OIC advisory group does not in any way replace the normal process of stakeholder engagement. Any organisations or firms affected by these reforms who are not part of the advisory group can continue to contact the team to discuss any specific issues or concerns by email at: xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

VATF36210 - What to consider prior to determining whether to use an intervention: matters to consider when looking at particular types of taxable person or activity: box breaking and box consolidation: introduction
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-15)


There is continued evidence to suggest that individuals and/or businesses previously involved in Missing Trader Intra-Community (MTIC) and Supply Chain fraud (VATF23500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-fraud/vatf23500)) are engaging in box breaking and box consolidation.

It should be noted that box breaking and box consolidation are not, in themselves, illegal activities.

There have been reports of VAT irregularities occurring with box breakers, such as:
- false invoicing;
- multiple use of invoices;
- inadequate accounting systems; and
- possible links to the manipulation of the reverse charge for specified goods and services (VATREVCHG (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-reverse-charge)).
The above list is not exhaustive.

In this section of the guidance the following terms are used:
- ‘box breaker’ refers to a taxable person who purchases mobile phones that are locked into a particular network and unlocks them so that they can be used on any network;
- ‘box consolidator’ refers to a taxable person who purchases ‘sim free’ mobile phones or other goods from either retail outlets or from other box consolidators or box breakers and consolidates these purchases into a single onward order;
- ‘runner’ refers to an individual (whether an employee of the box breaker or box consolidator or not) who makes the purchases from the retail outlets .
This section of the VAT Fraud Guidance Manual has been written to assist you when conducting assurance visits on box breakers and box consolidators. It:
- gives a brief description of box breaking and box consolidating (VATF36220 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-fraud/vatf36220));
- looks at issues that need to be considered concerning box breaking and box consolidating (VATF36230 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-fraud/vatf36230)); and
- what to do if you decide to deny input tax (VATF36240 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-fraud/vatf36240)).

Environment Agency clampdown on illegal use of cast nets
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-23)

A 42-year-old man was caught red-handed by Environment Agency officers when he attempted to use a cast net without permission on a canal in South Yorkshire.

At Doncaster Magistrates’ Court on 2 April 2025, Jamie Ellis, of South Drive, Middleton-on-the-Wolds, Yorkshire, admitted fishing using an unauthorised means. He was ordered to pay a total of £580 made up of a £200 fine, £300 costs and a victim’s surcharge of £80.

The use of cast nets requires permission from the Environment Agency. This is separate to a rod licence, and the offender did not have permission for a cast net in place.

It is only granted in limited circumstances due to it being an indiscriminate and damaging method which can have huge impacts on fish stocks and wildlife.

The court heard that on 13 January 2024, Environment Agency Fisheries Enforcement officers were patrolling the Staniforth and Keadby Canal in Thorne. They saw the defendant throw a cast net into the water, pull it back out, and then place it on the ground.

The officers spoke to Ellis who admitted the net was his.

When interviewed under caution, the defendant claimed it was the first time he had used such a net and had not caught any fish. He also said he had not been aware that he needed permission to use it. He had a rod licence but this does not include the use of a cast net.

Kye Jerrom, a fisheries enforcement officer for the Environment Agency, said:

“We hope this case serves as a cautionary tale to anyone who is thinking of breaking the rules.

“Cast nets have the potential to cause huge impacts to fish stocks.

“This is due to the damaging nature of how they work and the numbers of fish they can snare.

“Our patrols are essential in preventing this type of fishing offence and to protect fish stocks for angling and nature.

“If people suspect illegal fishing they should call our 24/7 hotline on xx-xxxx-xxxx.”

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 Adana Management Group 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 Adana Management Group 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
- 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.

IHTM47025 - Long-term UK residence: Companies
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-13)


At IHTA84/S6C, there is a long-term UK resident test for corporate bodies, such as limited companies.

This will be relevant, for example, in establishing whether settled property in a settlement made by a corporate body is excluded property (IHTM42953 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm42953)).

It is not relevant to the main excluded property tests in section 6(1) and 6(1A) which only apply to individuals.

Nor is a close company’s residence status relevant to the charge under IHTA/S94 (IHTM14851 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm14851)). Whether the property is excluded depends on the location of the property and the long-term UK residence status of the participators.

A body corporate will be long-term UK resident at all times in a tax year if it was:

Incorporated in the UK; or

Within the charge to Corporation Tax by virtue of CTA09/S5(1) at any time during the previous tax year as a UK resident company (see INTM120030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm120030)).

For the first year of the body’s existence, only the incorporation status is relevant as there will be no previous tax year to consider.

Where a company ceases to exist, it is treated as a deceased settlor for the purposes of the excluded property rules (IHTM04273 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm04273)) so if the company ceases to exist on or after 6 April 2025 you will be looking to test the company’s long-term UK residence status at that time: foreign property settled by the company will only be excluded property if the company was not long-term UK resident at the time it ceased to exist.

Where a company settlor ceased to exist before 6 April 2025, foreign property settled by the company will only be excluded property if the company was not domiciled in the UK at the time it became comprised in the settlement.

Identifying the entity

Where the company is a multi-national with a presence in the UK, you will need to establish which entity is the settlor and its status. In many cases this will be clear. For example, the entity that is providing the funds may be a subsidiary that is incorporated in the UK and therefore within the scope of the long-term UK residence rule at IHTA/s6C(a).

The long-term UK residence rule will also apply to an entity that is incorporated overseas but is centrally managed and controlled in the UK (IHTA/s6C(b)).

However, the rule does not apply in cases where an overseas company may be within the scope of Corporation Tax by virtue of operating through a UK permanent establishment. In such cases, and even if there is a requirement to register information with Companies House, the entity is still the overseas company.
