John Alty has spent much of his career in the Civil Service working on regulation, markets and business issues, with a strong EU and international dimension. He was previously acting Permanent Secretary of the Department for International Trade. From 2016-2021 he was Director General for Trade Policy, responsible for building UK trade capability and developing trade policy post the EU referendum. Other Government positions held include CEO of the UK Intellectual Property Office, and Director General for Market Regulation (“Fair Markets”) in the Business Department.

She previously served as Deputy Assistant Commissioner (Specialist Operations – Security and Protection), Deputy Assistant Commissioner (Professionalism) from 2012 to 2015 and a number of other senior roles across the Police service.

Guita Blake’s career has been focused on digital technology and she has a strong track record in senior executive business leadership and digital transformation, as well as operating in non-executive board and board advisory capacities. Having built her experience working with FTSE global, private and public clients across multi-sectors in B2B2C, her key industry experience includes financial services/banking, insurance, manufacturing, CPG/retail, and travel/transport. She has held a variety of international leadership roles across Europe, the USA, and APAC.

First illegal migrants returned under new UK-France agreement
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-08)

Under the landmark UK-France migration deal, the first groups of small boats arrivals to the UK have been successfully removed on flights to France.

The first group removals of small boat migrants under the UK’s landmark migration treaty with France have now taken place, marking another momentous step in the government’s efforts to dismantle the criminal networks profiting from human misery.

The UK-France treaty grants the UK decisive new powers to detain and rapidly remove individuals who enter illegally via small boats, blocking access to the UK asylum system.

Over the past week, 2 group flights saw 19 individuals returned to France, following the successful returns of an additional 7 individuals in the last month. The second group flight arrived in France earlier today before continuing its journey to Eastern Europe as part of the government’s regular schedule of returns flights.

Further flights to France under this pilot scheme are scheduled to take place over the coming days and weeks.

In addition, the UK government continues to work with France to operate a tightly controlled legal route for an equal number of eligible migrants to come to the UK, subject to rigorous security checks. Nine arrivals entered the UK this week through this route.

This pilot scheme will continue to be ramped up, with both countries having committed to continuously improving the process of this innovative approach.

The Home Office today has released content from the first group flight last week, including footage of migrants boarding and the aircraft departing.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said:

We must put an end to these dangerous crossings which put lives at risk and money in the pockets of criminal gangs.

The contrast couldn’t be clearer. The last government’s Rwanda scheme took years and cost hundreds of millions of pounds, and failed to forcefully remove a single person. In a matter of weeks, we’ve returned 26 through our historic agreement with France.

With flights to France now underway and ramping up, we are sending out a clear message: if you come here illegally, you face being detained and removed, so think twice before making that journey.

On top of this work, enforcement activity continues to be ramped up, with the National Crime Agency carrying out over 350 disruptions against people-smuggling networks last year - a 40% increase on the previous year.

Over 35,000 individuals with no legal right to remain in the UK have been returned, with asylum-related returns up 28% year-on-year.

The Home Office is now issuing over 31,000 initial asylum decisions every quarter - triple the average under the previous government.

This co-ordinated approach - combining decisive enforcement action, international cooperation, and controlled routes - demonstrates the government’s comprehensive Plan for Change to strengthen our borders while upholding our humanitarian obligations and dismantling the criminal networks that exploit vulnerable people.

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.

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 St. Georges & Priorslee Parish 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 St. Georges & Priorslee Parish 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:

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.

CTM40340 - Particular bodies: friendly societies: repayment claims
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-09)


Form R69 is used for repayment claims by a society that carries on
- only 'other business' exempted under FA12/S164 or S165, see CTM40335 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm40335), or
- only tax exempt ‘basic life assurance and general annuity business’ (BLAGAB, see CTM40325 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm40325)), or
- a combination of business, all of which are exempt.
Societies carrying on only tax exempt BLAGAB

Any society that carries on any taxable business should be dealt with by LB (Financial Advisory Services), see CTM40315 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm40315). Form R69 is not appropriate for these societies.

The R69 no longer asks societies to submit vouchers with their claims routinely, in line with the ‘process now, check later’ principles of CTSA. The claims are covered by the legislation at TMA70/SCH1A (claims etc. not included in returns). SCH1A includes provisions for making enquiries into claims, see CTM90600 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm90600) onwards. Where appropriate, vouchers may be requested as part of an enquiry - see the Enquiry Manual for guidance.

The cases where a friendly society receives income under deduction of Income Tax are likely to be limited as they qualify as companies, in relation to which the tax deduction rules do not generally apply. But where a society receives a dividend distribution from an authorised investment fund (authorised unit trust or OEIC) Income Tax may be treated as deducted from part or all of the distribution. See CTM48515 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm48515) for further guidance.

If a society only carries on business which is covered by the exemption at FA12/S164 or S165, see CTM40335 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm40335), then it can claim repayment of all Income Tax suffered by deduction on form R69. Tax credits on dividends are not payable to the society where the distribution was made on or after 6 April 1999 and such tax credits should not be entered in section 1 of the R69.

Societies carrying on both tax exempt basic life assurance and general annuity business and tax exempt ‘other’ business

Such a society may also claim repayment of all Income Tax suffered by deduction on form R69. However, the position for tax credits is more complicated as only tax credits on distributions covered by the exemption at FA12/S153 for profits arising from life or endowment business were payable to the society where they were made after 5 April 1999.

The statute did not specify a method of apportioning the distributions between tax exempt life or endowment or other business in these circumstances. For distributions made on or after 6 April 2004 no tax credits are payable to friendly societies at all, so this point is now of historical interest. However BAI (Technical) will give advice in any remaining cases of doubt or difficulty.
