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 Ormiston Children & Families Trust 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 Ormiston Children & Families Trust 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
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- 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.

Environment Agency regulatory position on when you can store and treat food waste from food preparation and consumption at the same premises the food was served and consumed.

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to get an environmental permit for a waste operation when you store and treat food waste at the same premises where the food was served and consumed.

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in the RPS.

MTT45150 - Particular entities and adjustments: Investment entities: Calculating the effective tax rate of a territory
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


When calculating the top-up amount of an investment entity (see MTT45120 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt45120)), it may be necessary to determine the investment entity effective tax rate (ETR) of the territory of that investment entity, to complete Step 6.

The investment entity ETR for a period is calculated under the following process, in accordance with section 222 of Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

Step 1 – Determine the adjusted profits of each of the investment entities in the territory, after any further adjustments have been made (see MTT45130 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt45130)).

See MTT21000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt21000)+ for general guidance on determining adjusted profits.

Step 2 – Find the net amount of those adjusted profits.

Step 3 – If the net adjusted profits is nil or less, the investment entity ETR is treated as being 15%.

Step 4 – Determine the covered tax balance of each investment entity (see MTT25000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt25000)+).

Step 5 – Make any further adjustments to the covered tax balance that are required (see MTT45130 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt45130)).

Step 6 – Find the net of the covered tax balances of all the investment entities in the territory (after any further adjustments have been made).

Step 7 – Divide the net covered tax balances (Step 6) by the net adjusted profits (Step 2).

Local Government Outcomes Framework: Call for feedback
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-23)

Feedback sought from councils on the Local Government Outcomes Framework.

The Deputy Prime Minister in her LGA conference speech (https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/local-government-association-conference-2025) on 3 July 2025 announced a further step in resetting how government works with local government, by launching the Local Government Outcomes Framework (LGOF) – a new approach to outcome-based accountability for councils in England designed to empower councils as place leaders.

The Framework sets 15 outcomes that Government expects to work with local authorities on to deliver key national priorities for local people and communities. These will be underpinned by outcome metrics drawing from existing data sources to show how progress will be measured. This approach forms part of the wider reform agenda for local government, to ensure councils are fit, legal and decent.

The priority outcomes and draft metrics for the Framework can be found in the table above. The feedback document provides broader context and specific questions on the draft metrics and framework use.

We are inviting local authorities and other interested parties to provide feedback in writing via our online form (https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=EGg0v32c3kOociSi7zmVqFYggKL0FJRKlLc3NARkbHNUQTAzWEZIQTgzT1ZZN01TMTlDMEE2RlBUNC4u&route=shorturl) by midnight 12 September 2025. If you would prefer to email, please address your email to xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

Local authorities are invited to a series of webinars in July, August and September 2025. Public bodies and other interested parties wishing to attend any webinars should email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to express an interest in attendance. We will accommodate as many requests as possible.

How to respond: Online form (https://forms.office.com/e/zcEizHU1CE) and via webinars held during the summer.

Deadline: 12 September 2025.

Next steps

The final framework will be published later in 2025.

Some trade agreements allow for proofs of origin to apply to multiple shipments of identical goods. Where applicable, the exporter may make out one proof of origin to cover multiple shipments during a time period. Other conditions also may apply, such as the goods must be of the same commodity code, come exclusively from the same exporter and destined for the same importer. The relevant trade agreement should be consulted for these requirements.

If the agent / importer attempts to enter different goods or products in excess of the quantity covered by the approval, the claim to preference is to be refused and the agent / importer invited to obtain a valid proof of origin and make a retrospective claim in respect of the goods concerned.

Unassembled or disassembled articles

Many preferential agreements allow presentation of a single preference document when it covers an unassembled or disassembled product in tariff chapters 84 or 85 or tariff headings 7308 or 9406, which for transport or production reasons will be imported in more than one instalment.

After serving an information notice, it is good practice to contact the person by phone. This will be after giving time for the notice to arrive. Normally this will be four working days. You should use this phone call to:
- check that the person has received and understands the information notice, and what they have to provide
- confirm that it is reasonable to require the person to provide the information
- check that the date specified is reasonable
It will be more cost-effective for you to address any disagreements or misunderstandings in advance, than through review or appeal procedures later.

This assessment draws conclusions about the performance of Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) at the midpoint of its expected pathway to impact and Theory of Change (ToC).

The assessment:
- uses an established standard for assessing research and innovation (R&I) for international development – Research Quality Plus (RQ+) – and adapts it by adding a GCRF-specific element (the RQ++ approach)
- is based on the qualitative analysis of a sample of 150 awards as well as bibliometric analysis of the full GCRF portfolio of approximately 3,000 awards.

Source: gov.uk (2025-01-30)

This page includes 2022 to 2023 annual review summaries of Conflict, Stability and Security Fund programmes in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

All Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programmes are reviewed carefully each year. These reviews assess:

technical and programme management standards including financial and risk management, value for money, conflict and gender sensitivity

contextual factors such as changes to the political environment

the outputs and outcomes during the year

Lessons learned are also identified.

An expert team conducts these reviews and include at least one team member who is independent from the programme. The team assesses at 2 levels: output (the direct result of programme activities) and outcome (the changes that these outputs deliver). Assessment scores are on a scale of 4, where outputs or outcomes meet or exceed expectations, to 1, where most targets were not met.

The CSSF team aims to publish information for all programmes. However, because some of the CSSF’s work is very sensitive, we cannot publish details of all programmes. The 2 main reasons for this are:

to protect national security

for the safety and security of beneficiaries, partners and partner governments

Provides an overview of the potential environmental impacts of different net zero technologies and how the Environment Agency may need to regulate such impacts.

The Net Zero research programme is a programme of work managed by the Environment Agency’s Chief Scientist’s Group and funded by Defra. The aim is to use science and evidence to ensure that the environment is part of a sustainable and equitable transition to a low-carbon economy. Our strategic objective is to understand at different scales what different pathways to net zero mean for the:
- environment
- sectors the Environment Agency regulates
- communities in which we work
The aim of these summaries is to provide an overview of the potential environmental impacts of different technologies and how the Environment Agency may need to regulate such impacts. They are intended to provide a broad overview, rather than specific detail, ideally aimed at those new to a subject or those wishing to gain additional knowledge in a quick and easy to use format.

These summaries were produced in 2024. This a fast-moving topic area and inevitably information is likely to go out of date, so these are a summary of information available at time of writing.

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

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.

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.

IHTM11061 - Settled property: exemption where the transferor creates an interest in possession for their spouse or civil partner
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


When a transferor gives their spouse or civil partner (IHTM11032 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm11032)) a qualifying interest in possession (IHTM16062 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm16062)) in settled property, the exemption on that transfer is not limited to the value of the interest in possession. The exemption is on the property in which the spouse or civil partner takes an interest in possession. This is because a person beneficially entitled to a qualifying interest in possession (IHTM16062 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm16062)) in settled property is treated as beneficially entitled to the property in which the interest subsists and so the settled property is part of the person’s estate for Inheritance Tax (IHTM04029 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm04029)).

Example

By Will Helen gives her whole estate to her surviving spouse, William, for life. On William's death it passes to their children. Helen and William are both long-term UK residents (IHTM47000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47000)) (death on or after 6 April 2025) or domiciled in the UK (IHTM13000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm13000)) (death before 6 April 2025).

On Helen’s death the whole estate is spouse exempt.

There are separate instructions for cases where:

the spouse or civil partner takes an annuity (IHTM11071 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm11071)), or

the spouse or civil partner of a person who died intestate (IHTM12001 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm12001)) takes a capital sum (IHTM11064 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm11064)) instead of a life interest.

Judicial Summary

This appeal is mainly about the requirement for the judge to make a record of proceedings and what that record must show. In this appeal the audio recording of the hearing failed so it recorded only part of the proceedings, and the judge contemplates that the record of proceedings might be comprised of multiple documents.
