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

- Flexible Leave For Spouses

Leasehold dwellings
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-22)

Statistics on the number of leasehold dwellings in England.

Each year, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government produces an estimate of the number of leasehold dwellings in England.

The estimate is produced by matching English Housing Survey and Land Registry data and shows how the distribution of leasehold dwellings varies by dwelling type, tenure and region.

These statistics are Official Statistics and produced in accordance with the governance and operational arrangements set out in statistical legislation, and in compliance with the standards of best practice set out in the Code of Practice for Statistics.

Leasehold estimates produced for 2014-15 to 2018-19 were published as Experimental Official Statistics while the methodology was developed and tested.

COM71141 - Enquiries: CTSA enquiries: closing an enquiry: enquiries under Schedule 1A TMA 1970 (Action Guide)
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-25)


To close an enquiry under Schedule 1A into a claim or election not made in a return, consider steps 1 - 5 below. The guide is presented as follows.

Enquiry completion procedures under Schedule 1A TMA 1970 after FA 2001 (#enquiry)

Step 1

Schedule 1A enquiries, COTAX and Paragraph 24 Schedule 18 FA 98 enquiries (#sch)

Steps 2 - 3

Closing the Schedule 1A enquiry (#closing)

Step 4

Processing the claim in COTAX (#processing)

Step 5

Enquiry completion procedures under Schedule 1A Taxes Management Act (TMA) 1970 after Finance Act (FA) 2001

1. If you are closing an enquiry that was opened on or before 11 May 2001, write to the company to tell them about the changes to the law before you close the enquiry.

Schedule 1A enquiries, COTAX and Paragraph 24 Schedule 18 Finance Act (FA) 98 enquiries

COTAX does not provide support for Schedule 1A enquiries into claims and elections not made in a return. You must open, conduct and close those enquiries outside COTAX.

2. Do not set the ‘enquiry in progress’ signal to 'Y' in function MAPS (Maintain AP Signals).

3. If the company has delivered a return for the Accounting Period affected by the Schedule 1A claim and you are already conducting a Paragraph 24 Schedule 18 enquiry into the return:
- you must handle the Schedule 1A enquiry separately from the enquiry into the return
- you cannot record the Schedule 1A claim on COTAX while the ‘enquiry in progress’ signal is set for the Paragraph 24 Schedule 18 enquiry
- when you close your Paragraph 24 Schedule 18 enquiry, the closure notice should exclude the Schedule 1A claim as it is not a deferred amendment to the return under Paragraph 31(3) Schedule 18
- you must record the taxpayer or revenue amendment to finalise the Paragraph 24 Schedule 18 enquiry before you can update COTAX with the result of the Schedule 1A enquiry. See steps 5 and 6 below
Closing the Schedule 1A enquiry

4. Issue the closure notice for the Schedule 1A enquiry manually. Do not attempt to issue the closure notice with COTAX. Under Paragraph 7(1) Schedule 1A Taxes Management Act (TMA), your manual closure notice:
- informs the claimant that the enquiry has come to an end
- sets out your conclusions as to whether the claim should be refused or allowed in whole or part
- makes any amendment to the amount of the claim
Top of page (#Top)

Processing the claim in COTAX

When you have issued the manual Schedule 1A enquiry closure notice, you need to update COTAX with the result, subject to step 3 above.

5. Use function RAMA (Record/Amend Assessment) and select ‘process a claim’ to amend the recorded claim, or record the amended claim on COTAX, suppressing the assessing output as the wording of the output issued by COTAX is not appropriate to settling a Schedule 1A enquiry.

UN peace operations are a critical and unique tool for advancing international peace and security: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-09)

Statement by Ambassador James Kariuki, UK Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on the future of Peace Operations.

For over three quarters of a century, UN peace operations have played a critical role supporting international peace and security.

However, as our briefers have set out, the nature of conflicts is evolving and so must our approach to addressing them.

So I will make three points.

First, the effectiveness of UN peace operations depends on their having realistic mandates which are grounded in a clear political strategy.

Without which, missions will struggle to deliver and risk losing support from host communities.

UN peace operations should also focus on the areas where they have comparative advantage, enabling other parts of the UN system or other actors to lead activities where they are better placed.

Second, it is important to ensure UN peace operations are tailored to the contexts in which they operate.

Some contexts, such as the Central African Republic, may suit larger, multi-dimensional peacekeeping operations.

But in many situations, smaller, scalable and targeted peace operations may be more appropriate, for example the UN Verification Mission in Colombia, which has played an important role supporting implementation of the peace agreement.

Peace operations also need to adapt as situations change, including through the use of good contingency plans.

Third, we should continue pressing for improvements in the performance of peace operations.

For example, by providing appropriate training and equipment, but also by ensuring performance and conduct standards are upheld, including through a zero-tolerance approach to sexual exploitation and abuse.

We also encourage continued work to advance women’s participation in peacekeeping, as supported by the Elsie Initiative, which the UK is proud to co-chair.

President, UN peace operations are a critical and unique tool advancing international peace and security.

That is why the Security Council and other member states must continue giving peace operations the support they need, whether through condemning attacks on peacekeepers or ensuring assessed contributions are paid in full, on time and without conditions.

As USG DiCarlo said, it comes down to political will from host countries, regional actors and this Council.

The Secretary-General’s review on the future of all forms of UN peace operations, alongside the UN80 reform agenda, offer a real opportunity to ensure UN peace operations remain effective in the coming decades.

The United Kingdom stands ready to work with others to further strengthen this indispensable tool for peace.

AI cyber security
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-10)

A collection of policy documents and research papers support the government's work to  address cyber security risks to artificial intelligence (AI).

Artificial intelligence (AI) is having a transformative impact on organisations and public services, but it is vital efforts are taken to protect AI systems from growing cyber security threats. The government is therefore taking steps to address the cyber security risks to AI.

Following the National Cyber Security Centre’s (NCSC) Guidelines for secure AI system development (https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/guidelines-secure-ai-system-development), a Call for Views (https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/cyber-security-of-ai-a-call-for-views) and the publication of various research, the government is now publishing a world leading voluntary Code of Practice (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ai-cyber-security-code-of-practice) which will be used as the basis for a new global standard.

From securing AI systems against hacking and sabotage, to ensuring they are developed and deployed in a secure way, the Code and future standard will help developers and system operators to build secure, innovative AI products that drive growth and support the Plan for Change. This will help give confidence to organisations in adopting the technology which will enhance public services and productivity and increase growth across the economy.

An overarching theme that arose from responses to the Call for Views was that organisations would benefit from additional guidance that explained how to implement the Code of Practice. The Government has therefore published an implementation guide to support organisations.

DSIT, in close collaboration with NCSC, will be working within the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) to develop a global standard and accompanying guide. We will also be engaging with organisations across different sectors of the economy to support their adoption of the security requirements and to encourage participation in the standards development process. This work forms part of DSIT’s wider technology security programme and its secure by design approach across all digital technologies. Further information on how this work links with DSIT’s other cyber security codes can be found here (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/cyber-security-codes-of-practice).

KIRKLEES METROPOLITAN COUNCIL

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 KIRKLEES METROPOLITAN 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 KIRKLEES METROPOLITAN 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
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.
