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 Ogmore Valley Community Council 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 Ogmore Valley Community Council 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 Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
We also pledge the following:

Signpost: members of the Armed Forces Community to available support in the Ogmore Valley.

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.

Greater international action is needed to tackle widespread sexual violence in Sudan: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-13)

Statement by Lord Collins of Highbury, Minister for Africa and the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on Sudan.

Thank you to our briefers UNICEF and MSF.

As you have made clear, women and girls in Sudan continue to face the worst horrors of this conflict.

Almost two years since the fighting began, more than 12 million people are now at risk of sexual and gender-based violence, according to UNICEF reports.

And Sudan’s healthcare system has been decimated by the conflict, making it even harder for survivors to access support.

The UK’s Foreign Secretary travelled to the Sudan-Chad border in January and met survivors of sexual violence who shared their harrowing stories of rape and torture.

And the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission for Sudan has reported that rape and gang rape is widespread in the context of the conflict in Sudan.

Acts of sexual violence constitute crimes under international law.

And it is the responsibility of this Council to act.

President, it is clear that greater international action is needed to tackle widespread sexual violence in Sudan. The United Kingdom is committed to playing its part.

This week I joined a meeting of the International Alliance on Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict, convened by Ukraine, to discuss the urgent need for joined-up, survivor-centred responses.

Through the UK-funded Women’s Integrated Sexual Health programme, we are providing sexual and reproductive services to women and children in Sudan.

We are also working with UN and NGO partners to provide safe spaces, mobile clinic treatment, dignity kits and psycho-social services for survivors.

But to have most impact, it is important that the international community comes together to address sexual violence in Sudan by taking 4 key steps.

First, by continuing to press the warring parties to comply with the commitments they made to protect civilians in the Jeddah Declaration.

Second, by giving support to civil society organisations on the ground who are playing a crucial role in assisting survivors of sexual violence.

Third, by supporting the International Criminal Court and the UN Fact-Finding Mission to carry out impartial investigations.

And fourth, by ensuring that the protection of civilians remains at the top of this Council’s agenda.

President, looking ahead, in April, the UK’s Foreign Secretary will convene Foreign Ministers in London to help end the conflict and to improve the humanitarian response.

Bringing an end to the conflict will be a critical step towards ending sexual and gender-based violence in Sudan.

Colleagues, we must continue working together closely until we achieve that goal.

CTM17040 - Distributions: stock dividends: returns
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-30)


CTA10/S1052

A company must make a return to HMRC for any accounting period in which it has issued a stock dividend within 30 days from the end of the return period. For this purpose, a return period begins at the beginning of the accounting period. If one or more quarterly days (31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December) fall within the accounting period (excluding its last day), a return period ends on those days, and a new one begins immediately after. A return period ends on the last day of the accounting period.

The return form (CT101) is available from the ‘find a form’ site and requires the following information
- the date on which the share capital within CTA10/S1049 was issued,
- the date on which the company was first required to issue it (if different from the issue date),
- details of the terms on which it was issued, and
- the cash equivalent under ITTOIA05/S412.
The return suggests that to save enquiries the company should give full details of the basis of calculation of the cash equivalent.

HMRC has the power to serve a notice requiring a return to be made where it appears to an officer that the company has failed to make a required return. Notice of at least 30 days must be allowed. The return must be made even if the company has not issued a stock dividend.

HMRC may use further information powers, see CH20000 (http://home.active.hmrci/chmanual/CH20000.htm) onwards, but only where needed. Replies to requests for information from the company’s records on behalf of a company member should be limited to a statement of the cash equivalent.

Emerging technology pairings and their effects on cyber security
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-07)

Research on the convergence of emerging technologies and the implications for cyber security.

The convergence of emerging technologies is transforming industries, introducing both opportunities and unprecedented cyber security challenges. This paper explores the synergistic relationships between technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT), Edge Computing, Quantum Computing, and Brain-Computer Interfaces, analysing how their intersections reshape the cyber threat landscape.

Through a comprehensive review of the literature and real-world case studies, this study identifies and highlights key vulnerabilities arising from these technological pairings.

This research informs the government’s wider work to ensure good cyber security in new and emerging technologies, and to improve cyber resilience across the UK economy.

Please note this publication presents independent research commissioned by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. The views expressed do not represent HM Government policy. The research addresses the convergence of emerging technologies and the implications for cyber security.
Check if you can apply for a Northern Ireland tariff rate quota
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-02)

Find out if you can claim a tariff rate quota to reduce duties, and how to apply for the quota, when moving goods to Northern Ireland.

A Northern Ireland tariff rate quota allows you to move limited amounts of specific goods into Northern Ireland at a lower rate of duty than would normally apply.

Check if your goods are covered

Tariff rate quotas are only available for:
- steel — at zero duty
- sheepmeat, lamb, beef and poultry — at zero duty or a lower duty than the standard rate
There are tariff rate quotas to import meat from specific countries into Northern Ireland, which get a reduced or zero rate of duty. Find out more about moving sheepmeat, lamb, poultry and beef to Northern Ireland from countries outside the UK and EU (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/moving-rest-of-world-sheepmeat-poultry-and-beef-to-northern-ireland).

You can use the Trade Tariff tool (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/finding-commodity-codes-for-imports-or-exports) to check if individual goods are covered by a specific tariff quota.

Select the relevant quota type

There are 2 types of quotas.
- First come first serve quotas are allocated in the order they are received. All steel quotas are first come first serve quotas.
- Licensed quotas need an import licence (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/licences-for-the-importexport-of-agricultural-products). Find out which beef, lamb and poultry quotas need a licence when moving sheepmeat, lamb, poultry and beef to Northern Ireland from countries outside the UK and EU (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/moving-rest-of-world-sheepmeat-poultry-and-beef-to-northern-ireland). These quotas are also filled on a first come first serve basis.
How to apply for a tariff rate quota

You can apply for a rate quota by adding the correct 6-digit quota number either to a:
- full customs declaration (in the same quota period)
- supplementary declaration (submitted by the 10th day of the month following the month in which the goods were first moved)
Find out more about applying for a tariff rate quota:
- to move steel into Northern Ireland (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reference-document-for-the-customs-northern-ireland-eu-exit-regulations-2020)
- when moving sheepmeat, lamb, poultry and beef to Northern Ireland from countries outside the UK and EU (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/moving-rest-of-world-sheepmeat-poultry-and-beef-to-northern-ireland)
Reclaiming duty through other schemes

If your quota claim is unsuccessful, or if you do not want to make a quota claim, you can apply to reclaim duty through the:
- Duty Reimbursement Scheme (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-to-claim-a-repayment-or-remission-of-import-duty-on-at-risk-goods-brought-into-northern-ireland)
- Customs Duty Waiver Scheme (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-if-you-can-claim-a-waiver-for-goods-brought-into-northern-ireland)

Rebecca Dykes Changemaker Challenge celebrates youth-led action
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-08)

Award ceremony for the Rebecca Dykes Changemaker Challenge celebrates youth-led action to tackle gender-based violence.

On Friday 5 December, the Deputy Head of Mission Victoria Dunne hosted the certificate ceremony for the Rebecca Dykes Changemaker Challenge (RDCC), a youth-led initiative that empowers students across Lebanon to design creative, context-sensitive solutions to end gender-based violence. This year’s event coincided with the global 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, reinforcing the UK’s commitment to equality and justice.

The RDCC was established in memory of Rebecca Dykes, our beloved colleague whose humanitarian spirit and dedication to justice continue to inspire change. Organised by Becky’s Button, a UK-registered charity founded by Rebecca’s mother, Jane Houng the Challenge reflects Rebecca’s legacy of inclusion, youth empowerment, and cross-border solidarity.

This year’s theme, “Challenging Misogyny: Youth-Led Action to End Gender-Based Violence,” encouraged young people to speak openly about misogyny and propose innovative solutions. The 2025 cycle saw 98 students and teams register, with 39 video submissions representing 61 students from eight universities and over thirty schools across Lebanon. Ten finalist teams were selected through a rigorous judging process led by educators, civil-society leaders, psychologists, and youth representatives from Lebanon and the UK.

The finalists’ proposals ranged from survivor-centred reporting tools to national student coordination mechanisms and community-led awareness campaigns. Several teams have already piloted activities in their schools and neighbourhoods, demonstrating early commitment to advocacy and action.

Deputy Head of Mission Victoria Dunne said:

Rebecca’s life and work remind us that one person’s commitment can spark a movement for change. During last week’s event, we celebrated Lebanon’s youth, whose creativity and courage are driving solutions to end gender-based violence. Their voices matter, and their ideas will shape a safer, more equal future.

Jane Houng, Founder and Chair of Trustees of Becky’s Button, said:

The Rebecca Dykes Changemaker Challenge is more than a competition; it is a platform for hope and action. Seeing these young people take Rebecca’s vision forward fills me with pride. Together, we are proving that when youth are empowered, change becomes possible.

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 JAIRAM OUTSOURCING 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 JAIRAM OUTSOURCING 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.
