They began by discussing the third anniversary of Russia’s barbaric full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which is a stark reminder that we must all work together to put Ukraine in the strongest possible position at this crucial moment for global security.

The Prime Minister repeated the UK’s steadfast commitment to support Ukraine for as long as needed and reiterated the importance of Ukraine being at the centre of any negotiations to end the conflict.

Tax Policy Making Principles
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-12)

These principles underpin the government’s approach to delivering tax policy changes through the single major fiscal event cycle, and how it will engage with stakeholders during tax policy development.

The following principles underpin the government’s approach to tax policy making:

Predictability and stability: The single major fiscal event cycle will provide a predictable and stable framework for the delivery of tax changes.

A smart and agile approach to consultation: The government will engage stakeholders fully and flexibly when developing tax policy, prioritising dynamic and frequent engagement with tax professionals at both ministerial and official levels. Where formal consultation is required, it will be targeted and precise, only seeking information that is genuinely needed, and will last a proportionate amount of time.

Transparency: The government is committed to transparency, and will make sure that its rationales for tax policy changes and assessments of policy impacts are clear.

These principles will enable the government to deliver change quickly, whilst making sure that the impacts of tax policy changes are fully understood.

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 Armatrex 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 Armatrex 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

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

NDG report on barriers to information sharing to support direct care
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-11)

This report details the findings of a survey commissioned by the National Data Guardian on the barriers to information sharing to support direct care.

Introduction

In late 2019, the National Data Guardian commissioned an online survey to help her better understand the perceived barriers to health and care professionals sharing information to support direct care, also called individual care. Its purpose was to learn what educational initiatives she might usefully encourage to support appropriate information sharing.

This report details the findings from that survey, including a set of four recommendations.

NDG Panel member, Dr Alan Hassey has published an accompanying blog post (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/exploring-the-barriers-to-information-sharing-for-direct-care), in which he discusses the survey’s findings, recommendations and next steps.
Local government reorganisation: letter to areas invited to submit final proposals
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-24)

A letter to all councils that were invited to submit proposals for unitary local government enclosing documents on the process for local government reorganisation, financial decision making before local government reorganisation and partnership working in social care.

On 23 July 2025, the Minister of State for Local Government and English Devolution wrote to all councils invited to submit proposals for local government reorganisation, reaffirming the government’s commitment to delivering a single tier of local government.

The letter included the document “Summary of the local government reorganisation process”, which provides further information on the reorganisation process and expected timelines. The letter also shared an explanatory note titled “Financial decisions before local government reorganisation”.

Additionally, councils had previously been asked through feedback on their interim plans to consider options for joint working for the delivery of social care. This letter provided further details on this by enclosing the document “Local government reorganisation: Considerations for partnership working in social care for new unitary authorities”, which outlines key considerations to support the development of partnership working options.
Move to Universal Credit  non-claimants (formerly tax credits customers) Research
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-02)

This report presents findings from research with former Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit customers who received a Migration Notice and did not make a claim for Universal Credit (UC).

Research background

In 2023, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) issued Migration Notices to tax credits customers at increasing scale, informing them to apply for Universal Credit to continue receiving financial assistance. Early learning around the managed migration of tax credits customers, published by DWP, set out the reasons why some individuals were not making a claim for UC by the deadline in their Migration Notice. DWP commissioned Ipsos UK to conduct research into why former tax credit customers were not claiming UC at a larger scale.

The research involved a quantitative survey and follow-up qualitative in-depth interviews. The quantitative strand of this research consisted of a mixed-mode push-to-web survey with CATI (computer-assisted telephone interviewing) interviews conducted between 17 April and 3 June 2024 with tax credits customers who had not made a claim to Universal Credit after their Migration Deadline had passed as of March 2024. In total, 1,029 survey interviews were conducted. 30 qualitative interviews were carried out between 8 July and 8 August 2024 with survey respondents who agreed to be recontacted.

The research focused on the following:
- levels of awareness, understanding and perceptions of UC amongst legacy tax credits customers. The reasons why this cohort are not claiming including whether they felt financially stable without it, and if not, whether there were any barriers to claiming or misconceptions
- the current and potential impact of not claiming UC, both financial and wider
- potential long-term consequences of not claiming UC and actions to top up their income since tax credits have stopped
- future intentions to claim UC, including any support needed to make a claim for UC.
Contribution to the evidence base

This research contributes to the body of evidence on Universal Credit that can be used to inform Policy and Programme decisions in the future.

Research value

This research will help Policy and Programme colleagues to better understand the reasons former tax credit customers decide not to move onto UC and identify areas for improvement in the Move to UC activity. Findings from this research will also help inform UC policy decisions by allowing the Department to understand non-claimant behaviour and any barriers that prevent them from claiming.
