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 Swansea Council for Voluntary Service 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 Swansea Council for Voluntary Service 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
We also pledge the following:

Offering work placements, insight days, mentoring schemes and/or guaranteed interview schemes to members of the Armed Forces Community seeking employment.

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.

Conformity assessment bodies for the UK digital identity and attributes trust framework
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-30)

Find out who can certify digital identity services during the pilot process, and more about the approval and accreditation process.

Introduction

Service providers must use an approved conformity assessment body (CAB) if they want to become certified against the UK digital identity and attributes trust framework (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/uk-digital-identity-and-attributes-trust-framework) or relevant supplementary codes (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/uk-digital-identity-and-attributes-supplementary-codes).

The Office for Digital Identities and Attributes (OfDIA) is currently operating a pilot certification process. It approves CABs to participate in the pilot and to certify services.

Approved conformity assessment bodies

The approved CABs under the pilot are:
- BSI Assurance UK Limited (https://www.bsigroup.com/en-GB) (BSI)
- Kantara Initiative Ltd (https://kantarainitiative.org/)
Only approved CABs can offer certification against the trust framework or supplementary codes. Certificates of conformity from unapproved bodies are not valid.

Accreditation of conformity assessment bodies

The UK Accreditation Service (UKAS) provides accreditation to certification bodies in the UK. We are working with CABs to enable them to become accredited by UKAS by the time the pilot ends. We expect the pilot to finish in 2025.

CABs will need to be accredited by UKAS and approved by OfDIA to continue certifying services once the pilot has ended.

More detail can be found on the UK Accreditation Service website (https://www.ukas.com/resources/latest-news/uk-digital-identity-and-attributes-trust-framework-pilot).

How to apply to become an approved Conformity Assessment Body

If you are a CAB and want to be approved to certify services against the UK digital identity and attributes trust framework, please contact us at xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

Consultancy and other advisory services

OfDIA has not approved or endorsed any organisation to provide consultancy, advice or gap analysis to service providers wishing to certify against the trust framework or supplementary codes.

President Macron and Prime Minister Starmer today co-chaired a virtual meeting of a grouping of ‘Coalition of the Willing’ Leaders with the participation of President Zelenskyy.

Leaders convened to discuss support for Ukraine and next steps in peace negotiations following President Trump’s meeting with President Putin in Alaska.

The Leaders reaffirmed their continued support to Ukraine, and praised President Zelenskyy’s desire for a just and lasting peace as he prepares for further consultations with President Trump in Washington DC.

The leaders also commended President Trump’s commitment to providing security guarantees to Ukraine, in which the Coalition of the Willing will play a vital role through the Multinational Force Ukraine, among other measures.

They re-emphasised the readiness to deploy a reassurance force once hostilities have ceased, and to help secure Ukraine’s skies and seas and regenerate Ukraine’s armed forces.

The President and Prime Minister also informed leaders that they would travel to Washington DC tomorrow for a meeting with President Trump, alongside President Zelenskyy.

Inheritance Tax: unused pension funds and death benefits
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-26)

This measure will bring unused pension funds and death benefits into scope of Inheritance Tax from 6 April 2027.

As announced at Autumn Budget 2024, the government will bring most unused pension funds and death benefits into scope of Inheritance Tax from 6 April 2027.

All death in service benefits payable from a registered pension scheme will be excluded from the value of an individual’s estate for Inheritance Tax purposes from 6 April 2027.

Personal representatives will be liable for reporting and paying any Inheritance Tax due on unused pension funds and pension death benefits. If they reasonably expect Inheritance Tax to be due, they can direct pension scheme administrators to:
- withhold 50% of the taxable benefits for up to 15 months from the date of death
- pay the Inheritance Tax due to HMRC before releasing the rest of those benefits to pension beneficiaries
If the instruction is withdrawn or the period ends, the remaining funds can be paid out.

This will not apply to:
- exempt benefits
- funds under £1,000
- continuing annuities
Personal representatives will also be discharged from liability for pensions discovered after they have received clearance from HMRC.

Importing organic food, feed and seed to the UK
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-13)

Find out the requirements for importing organic products and when you need a certificate of inspection (COI).

To import organic products to the UK:
- your company must be based in the UK
- an approved UK control body (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/organic-food-uk-approved-control-bodies) must certify your business to import organic products
You must also meet these requirements if you are a ‘first consignee’. This means the first person to receive the imported food.

You must also follow the labelling and advertising rules (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/organic-food-labelling-rules) and the general importing rules for your product. Find guidance on:
- importing animal products (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/import-or-move-food-and-drink-from-the-eu-and-northern-ireland-to-great-britain)
- importing plants from EU countries (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/import-plants-and-plant-products-from-the-eu-to-great-britain)
- importing plants from non-EU countries (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/import-plants-and-plant-products-from-non-eu-countries-to-great-britain)
Importing from the EU to Great Britain and Northern Ireland

You do not currently need a certificate of inspection (COI) to import organic food to Great Britain and Northern Ireland from:
- EU countries
- EEA countries (EU, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein)
- Switzerland
However, from 1 February 2027 you will need a COI to import organic food from these countries to Great Britain.

Importing from outside the EU to Great Britain

To import organic food from outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland into Great Britain, you must:
- get a Great Britain COI for each consignment (even if you’re importing a product or sample that is not intended for sale)
- check that your exporter’s control body and country or territory of export are on the non-UK organic registers (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/organic-registers-lists-of-third-countries-or-territories-control-bodies-and-control-authorities)
The COI is issued by the exporter’s control body in the country of export.

A consignment is a batch of products that is shipped and handled as one unit. For example, this could be:
- a container of peas from Kenya
- 200 tonnes of wheat and 150 tonnes of barley from Canada, shipped on the same boat and handled by the same operator
Importing from outside the EU to Northern Ireland

To import organic food from outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland to Northern Ireland, you must:
- check with your control body that the organic food can be imported into Northern Ireland
- register and be approved as an importer by your control body on the EU’s Trade Control and Expert System New Technology (https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/tracesnt/login) (TRACES NT)
- get a European Union COI for each consignment through TRACES NT (this applies to businesses importing food, feed and seed into NI, including farms importing feed or seed for their own animals)

AAIB investigation to Boeing 737-86N, G-NPTA
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-13)

Loss of cabin pressurisation, approaching Edinburgh Airport, 17 May 2025

The aircraft was flying between East Midlands (EMA) and Edinburgh (EDI) Airports. Due to the quantity of dry ice forming part of the cargo load, the operator’s procedures required the aircraft’s air conditioning pack control switches to be in the high position for the flight. The commander described this as “an unusual [pack] configuration.”

Approaching top of descent the cabin altitude warning sounded, prompting the flight crew to don oxygen masks and execute an emergency descent. After levelling off, the commander checked the overhead panel and found both pack switches were selected off. Switching them back on restored pressurisation and the flight continued into EDI.

The commander was convinced they left EMA with the packs operating and had not noticed any switches out of place when conducting a scan of the overhead panel at the top of climb. He concluded the switches must have been selected off during flight, however neither he nor the co-pilot recalled doing so. The commander considered it possible the switches had initially been in the normal on position and that the wrong “unusual configuration” (ie off rather than high) had been selected to “correct what [they] perceived as a mistake.”

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 TMO Traffic Highways 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 TMO Traffic Highways 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 Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- 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.

Rail ticket types and journey purposes
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-30)

Explores the rail ticket types that passengers use for different journey purposes in England.

This research explores the rail ticket types that passengers use for travel purposes in England. It includes insights on commuting behaviour and railcard use.

Findings from this research are from an on-train survey, completed by 6,151 passengers between September and October 2024.

The sample design used means findings are representative of passenger kilometres, actual distance completed, rather than the number of individual passenger journeys taken by rail.

Newer research into these topics formed part of the business travel survey 2025, released in September 2025 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/business-travel-survey-2025).

Savanta carried out this research on behalf of the Department for Transport.

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 Endorse HR 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 Endorse HR 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 Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- 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.

CH255520 - How to do a compliance check: using inspection powers: during a visit: failure to allow an inspection
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-05)


This page and chapter are under review as the relevant content is also published in the technical guidance chapters of the Compliance Handbook (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook), within Compliance checks factsheets (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hm-revenue-and-customs-compliance-checks-factsheets) and in Compliance checks guidance (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hmrc-compliance-checks-help-and-support). If you use particular pages regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know the specific content you find useful.

Whilst an officer of HMRC has inspection powers enabling them to enter and inspect business premises, the person or occupier also has the right to refuse entry to those premises or to terminate the visit at any time.

However, if the inspection has been approved by the tribunal, deliberate obstruction of an officer may result in a penalty assessment.

You must not use force or subterfuge to gain entry. It’s possible that if you explain why the compliance check is being done and what it will involve, the person or occupier may allow the inspection. Ensure that you take the relevant factsheet with you that will explain the person’s rights and obligations.

If you are refused entry or asked to leave during an inspection you should follow the guidance below.

Visits not approved by the tribunal

If you are refused entry to the premises, or you are asked to leave before you have finished your inspection, you should attempt to arrange another visit.

If the person refuses to agree to a visit on another date or entry is denied at a subsequent visit attempt, you should record details of the date and time, the person making the refusal and their status, if known, and any comments made and explanation given.

If non-cooperation continues, you may consider seeking tribunal approval for an inspection. If you think this is necessary, you should discuss it with your team leader or manager who may agree to put a proposal to an authorised officer.

Template IIP35 in SEES Forms and Letters is available for you to make your report to an authorised officer. The authorised officer uses the same template to reply.

Visits approved by the tribunal

If the person or occupier has a reasonable excuse for failing to allow the visit, you should re-arrange the visit by agreement or by obtaining another tribunal-approved inspection notice.

If the person does not have a reasonable excuse, you should draw the person’s attention to the inspection notice which advises that obstruction of your inspection may lead to the imposition of a penalty of £300 and, that if the obstruction continues, a daily penalty of up to £60 a day, see CH270000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch270000).
CTM08360 - Corporation Tax: management expenses: employees' relocation expenses
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-15)


Employees of a ‘company with investment business’ may have to change residence because of their employment. The following expenditure will usually qualify as management expenses:
- reasonable contributions by the company towards the removal expenses of the employees and their families,
- the cost of visits to the new area,
- contributions to legal expenses, and
- miscellaneous expenses and grants.
If contributions seem excessive, follow the guidance in CTM08330 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm08330).

Contributions to removal expenses payments under schemes that guarantee the sale price of an employee's former private residence are accepted as management expemses if reasonable. The investment company itself may buy the employee's former private residence. In such a case:
- the purchase and subsequent sale fall under the chargeablr gains rules, and
- any loss on sale is a capital loss and not an expense of management.
There is different treatment, in similar situations, of a company that is not an investment company. See BIM42531 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim42531).
