Register of approved electricity meters
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-06)

Electricity Act 1989: register of all pattern-approved electricity meters suitable for billing purposes in Great Britain.

For electricity meters in Great Britain approved under the Electricity Act 1989 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1989/29/contents), the pattern or construction of the meter type must conform to the requirements specified in the accompanying regulations.

Formal approval certificates are issued by the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) to manufacturers of electricity meters. The meters are then listed in the Register of approved electricity meters, a list of all pattern-approved electricity meters suitable for billing purposes in Great Britain under the Electricity Act 1989.

Electricity supply, transmission and distribution is devolved in Northern Ireland and operates through a different electricity grid (Single Electricity Market). However, all pattern-approved electricity meters suitable for billing purposes in Great Britain are also approved and suitable for billing purposes in Northern Ireland, under the Electricity (Northern Ireland) Order 1992.

The Register of approved electricity meters only includes meters certified under the Electricity Act 1989. It does not list MID or MIR approved meters.

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 Stockton Riverside College 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 Stockton Riverside College 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
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.
MCA customer process for alternative fuels - electric
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-16)

An overview of the advantages, challenges, regulations and guidance associated with using lithium-ion.

Batteries have been utilised in vessel design for many reasons. From providing redundant power supply for emergency equipment to peak shaving (scaling down the engine power by sourcing additional electricity from batteries) for engines.

However, with the introduction of higher energy density batteries the use of battery electric power to provide sustained propulsion is increasing.

For larger vessels this allows for reduction of in-port emissions and for smaller vessels they can be fully powered by battery power. This paper focuses on the uptake of Lithium-Ion batteries as these present the biggest current use case for fully electric vessels.

Currently, batteries largely serve either as backup power, or propulsion for short voyages and are mostly used on ferries, tugs and other small vessels. Batteries are not yet suitable for providing the required power for long voyages as the sole method of propulsion.

Key contacts

Any existing customers wishing to build or convert a vessel to operate using electric as part of the vessel propulsion system are encouraged, in the first instance, to contact their MCA Customer Service Manager who will be able to advise further on the process and where necessary set up a meeting with MCA subject matter leads to discuss the proposals in detail.

New customers or those without a Customer Service Manager should contact: xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx)

Universal Periodic Review 49: UK Statement on Grenada
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-05)

UK Statement on Grenada, delivered at Grenada's Universal Periodic Review at the Human Rights Council in Geneva.

Thank you Madame Vice-President,

The UK welcomes efforts by the government of Grenada to end violence experienced by women and girls through programmes like the UN-funded Spotlight Initiative which between 2020 and 2023 bolstered legislation and policy frameworks, strengthened institutions, improved access to services, and built capacity of civil society. We urge the government to improve implementation, challenge social norms built around hegemonic masculinity, and strengthen programmes within state-owned facilities such as the Cedars Home for Women so that participants can thrive independently upon completion.

Although civil society organisations representing a cross-section of groups and human rights interests remain active in Grenada, some believe government engagement is inconsistent. We therefore urge the government to create more inclusive platforms for human rights dialogue and aid the creation of laws and policies that protect and promote the rights of all Grenadians regardless of age, sex, gender, sexual orientation, or disability.

We recommend that Grenada:

Repeals legal discriminatory provisions against individuals based on their sexual orientation and gender identity, particularly those in the Sexual Offences Act and Criminal Code.

Ratifies and implements the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (OP-CRPD)

Ratifies the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (OP-CEDAW)

Thank you.

Ivory Act protections come into force for four more species
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-28)

Act will ban the importing, exporting and dealing in items containing ivory from Hippopotamus, narwhal, killer and sperm whale

Hippopotamus, narwhal, killer whale and sperm whale will have greater legal protection from today (28 January) under the UK’s world leading Ivory Act.

The Act will now ban the importing, exporting and dealing in items containing ivory from these magnificent animals - previously the Ivory Act only covered elephants.

The Ivory Act provides for one of the toughest bans on ivory sales in the world and anyone found guilty of breaching the ban faces tough penalties including an unlimited fine or up to five years in jail.

Closing domestic ivory markets is a critical part of the UK’s global conservation efforts. Hippopotamus is the species most at extinction risk from the trade in its ivory after elephants.

All four species are listed under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora (CITES) and already threatened by climate change with poaching and trading in their ivory – which is found in teeth and tusks - having the potential to exacerbate these threats and make their long-term survival less likely.

Mary Creagh, International Nature Minister, said:

“Today is an important moment for all wildlife lovers. The poaching of these wonderful animals for their ivory is sickening and this government will do all we can to end this horrible trade.

“The Ivory Act is one of the toughest bans in the world. This new government is showing global leadership by enshrining these protections into law to tackle the poaching of these iconic animals.”

The UK is a world leader in international conservation. Supported by ambitious domestic action and new international partnerships, we are putting climate and nature at the heart of our foreign policy including appointing a new International Nature Envoy.

Working with partners across the world we are building global ambition on nature and pushing to accelerate delivery of the UN Global Biodiversity Framework to halt the loss and reverse of wildlife internationally.

The ban is being introduced after extensive consultation and provides a limited exemption for the existing trade in artistic and cultural artefacts.
UK Emissions Trading Scheme: free allocation review
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-26)

The UK ETS Authority is seeking views on proposals to alter free allocation methodology for stationary sectors to better target those most at risk of carbon leakage.

Note on extending the UK ETS first Free Allocation period to 2026 (26 September 2024)

The UK ETS Authority is consulting operators in the scheme on a proposal to move the start of the second allocation period from 2026 to 2027, extending the current allocation period to include 2026. Operators will receive the consultation from their scheme regulator and have until 11 October to submit responses.

The change aims to align changes to Free Allocation with the introduction of the UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism in 2027. The Authority received a significant number of responses to the Free Allocation Review consultation indicating a preference for this alignment to ensure a consistent approach to carbon leakage mitigation. The Authority will ensure that any changes made to Free Allocation rules under the Free Allocation Review will be published by the end of 2025, with implementation in 2027.

The Authority is proposing that:
- the baseline data reporting exercise will continue as planned from 1 April to 30 June 2025
- applications for the second free allocation period will be made in 2026
- updated lists of installations with hospital or small emitter (HSE) and ultra-small emitter (USE) status will come into effect from 2026, with the application window for inclusion on these lists open from 1 April to 30 June 2025
- changes to the current rules regarding the electricity generator classification will come into effect in 2026
The UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) Authority (UK Government, Scottish Government, Welsh Government and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs for Northern Ireland is seeking views on proposals to alter the free allocation methodology for the stationary sectors to better target those most at risk of carbon leakage and ensure that free allocations are fairly distributed.

This will broadly focus on 4 key areas:
- how we account for emissions and activity
- benchmarks
- the carbon leakage list
- additional factors we might want to introduce to free allocation methodology
The consultation is open to all, but will be of particular interest to:
- individual companies and representatives of industrial and power sectors with obligations under the UK ETS
- environmental groups
This consultation does not apply to NI electricity generators who participate in the EU ETS by virtue of the Ireland / Northern Ireland Protocol.

Identifying tuberculosis in people seeking asylum

The effectiveness of active case finding for people infected with tuberculosis (TB) or active TB in refugees and other people seeking asylum.

This rapid systematic review identified and summarised evidence of the effectiveness active case finding for people infected with tuberculosis (TB) or people with active TB disease in refugees or people seeking asylum, in countries with low incidence of TB (less than 40 cases per 100,000).

This rapid systematic review searched for research published up to 3 July 2024 and included 7 studies. The included studies were not directly comparable and did not conclusively determine which case finding method was most effective. However, the evidence offered some insights into the accuracy and cost-effectiveness of active case finding using chest X-rays, tuberculin skin tests, interferon gamma release assay or symptom-based case finding.

COM90025 - Payments: processing payments: the payment record: Instalment Due Date
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-08)


An instalment due date is a date on which a Quarterly Instalment Payment is due and the dates are as follows:

For a 12-month Accounting Period (AP) for a ‘Large’ company

For an AP of less than 12 months:
- the final instalment is due, as normal, 3 months and 14 days from the end of the AP
- earlier instalments are due only if the dates for the earlier instalments (as shown above) fall earlier than the date of the final instalment
This means that an AP of:
- 3 months or less, will require only the final instalment
- between 3 months and 1 day and 6 months, will require only a first and a final instalment
- between 6 months and 1 day and 9 months, will require a first, second and final instalment
- more than 9 months, will require all four instalments
Please note that:
- for Quarterly Instalment Payment cases that end before 01/07/02 there is a transitional period. During this period there is a balance of tax payable on the normal due date
- after the transitional period the final payment due date will be 3 months and 14 days from the AP end date. There will not be a balancing payment at the normal due date
- for all other purposes the normal due date remains unchanged at 9 months and 1 day from the AP end date
For more information see section ‘Quarterly Instalment Payments’ (COM95000 onwards) in business area ‘Payments’.

For a 12-month Accounting Period (AP) for a ‘Very Large’ company

For an AP of less than 12 months

If the accounting period is shorter than 12 months, the rules apply to ensure that the final instalment payment falls within the accounting period.

Subject to exceptions, the last instalment date will depend on which day of the month the end of the accounting period falls — if the accounting period ends on:
- the last day of the month, the last instalment will be due 14 days after the end of the preceding month
- a day for which there is a corresponding date in the preceding month, the last instalment falls 14 days after that date in the preceding month
- a day for which there is no corresponding day in the previous month, the last instalment is due 14 days after the last day of the previous month

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 Emergency Response Systems 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;

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.
