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 Business in Focus 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 Business in Focus 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
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- Armed 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.

BLM20405 - Defining long funding leases: exclusions from the definition of funding lease: CAA01/S70J (3) - (6)
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-15)


This manual is being updated to reflect FRS 102 (2024 amendments). For guidance on the tax treatment of accounts prepared under IFRS 16 or the revised FRS 102, please refer to pages within the BLM50000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm50000) chapter.

A lease is not a funding lease (and therefore cannot be a long funding lease) if
- it is a hire purchase or lease purchase contract to which CAA01/S67 applies (CAA01/S70J (3)), see BLM00330 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm00330) onwards, or
- the plant or machinery has previously been leased out by the current owner, where none of the previous leases was a funding lease and the aggregate of the terms of the previous leases was more than 65 per cent of the useful economic life of the asset when first leased out (CAA01/S70J (4) and (5)).
In addition, in the case of a lessor, a lease is not a funding lease if
- the plant or machinery was leased for at least 10 years before 1 April 2006, and
- the lessor under the plant and machinery lease was also the lessor of the plant or machinery on the last day before 1 April 2006 when the plant or machinery was leased (CAA01/S70J (6)).
See BLM20410 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm20410)for an example.Capital expenditure may be incurred on updating or improving an asset that has been subject to a lease for 10 years before 1 April 2006. In considering whether this capital expenditure is covered by s.70J (6) the item of plant or machinery should be looked at as a whole, rather than as a set of component parts. As long as the expenditure is not on, or does not create, a separate asset then s.70J (6) will apply if the plant or machinery as a whole has been leased out for 10 years before 1 April 2006. See BLM20415 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm20415) for an example.Exceptionally, if a separate asset is created by the ‘improvements’ CAA01/S70L will apply to create a derived lease – see BLM20300 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm20300)onwards.

Details of Sizewell C Variation 2 (Temporary Marine Bulk Import Facility (TMBIF))

On 20 December 2022 the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy granted consent for the Sizewell C (Nuclear Generating Station) Order 2022, which contains within Schedule 21 a deemed marine licence (DML) in accordance with Section 149 of the Planning Act 2008. The Sizewell C (Nuclear Generating Station) Order 2022 has since been amended in September 2023.

The pre-application, examination and development consent order (DCO) documents for this project can be found on the Planning Inspectorate’s website.

On 01 October 2024 the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) received a request from Sizewell C Limited to vary the DML contained within Schedule 21 of the Sizewell C (Nuclear Generating Station) Order 2022.

This variation request concerned changes to the design and associated construction methodology for the Temporary Marine Bulk Import Facility (TMBIF). These changes included the addition of a dredge pocket which would facilitate vessel berthing at the TMBIF. This variation request also included a minor change to the design of the Beach Landing Facility (BLF).

On 07 November Sizewell C Limited made an additional request to increase the internal tunnel diameter of the Temporary Desalination Plant Intake Tunnel.

On 18 December 2024 Sizewell C Limited requested further, additional changes to the construction of the Combined Drainage Outfall (CDO) dredge pocket and the design and construction of the Temporary Desalination Plant Intake and Outfall Tunnel and Headworks.

On 18 February 2025 Sizewell C Limited requested an additional administrative change to several DML Conditions to list East Suffolk Council (ESC) as a named, compulsory consultee. This change would ensure ESC’s obligations and agreement in line with DCO Requirement 13.

On 01 May 2025 Sizewell C Limited requested an additional, minor change to the design of the TMBIF.

On 12 August 2025 Sizewell C Limited requested further, additional changes to the design and construction of the CDO Outfall Head and the Temporary Desalination Plant Intake and Outfall Heads.

A review of the standards, methodologies, technical needs and available resources related to digital monitoring, reporting and verification for modern cooking devices in the context of carbon finance
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-06)

Provides and overview of the present ecosystem relating to modern cooking devices and highlights future trends.

Abstract

There is a large potential market for modern energy cooking systems, with over 1.5 billion people still cooking using biomass, despite having access to electricity. Many modern cooking solutions exist that are practical, time-saving, economic and have real benefits for the end user. Electric cooking systems also help drive demand for electricity and so provide an ideal opportunity for combination with rural electrification programmes. However, several challenges remain preventing wide scale adoption, an important one being the costs for modern cooking appliances and fuels, which are often higher than those for traditional cooking systems. Carbon finance can help to overcome this barrier by monetising the emission reductions associated with fuel switches and efficiency gains.

In order to get modern cooking activities certified under a carbon standard, project developers need to follow standardised impact quantification methodologies and undergo independent assessment from third-party validation and verification bodies. Recent developments in carbon markets and standards drive the need to directly measure the energy consumption of cooking devices with digital systems and hardware, in order to more accurately monitor, report, and verify emission reductions.

This technical review aims to provide project developers with an overview of the present ecosystem relating to digitisation for modern cooking devices, suggesting available resources, providing technical guidance, and highlighting future trends.

This report is part of the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) Programme.

The Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman has published guidance on fair and effective complaints handling for local authorities. Good complaints processing can quickly put things right for members of the public and can help improve public services.

In their Triennial Review, the Ombudsman proposed making this Complaint Handling Code mandatory. The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Housing and Local Government has written to council leaders encouraging councils to voluntarily adopt the Complaint Handling Code’s principles.

We welcome progress in Syria’s political transition since the fall of the Assad regime: UK Statement at the UN General Assembly
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-29)

Statement by Lord Collins of Highbury, Minister for Africa and the UN, at the UN General Assembly debate on the International Impartial and Independent Mechanism in Syria.

Thank you Assistant Secretary-General Robert Petit for the briefing and the debate today.

Let me also welcome Foreign Minister Al Shaibani to the Assembly. Your presence here today is a powerful signal of the opportunities that lie ahead for Syria to carve out a more secure, peaceful and prosperous future.

I will make three points today.

First, we welcome progress in Syria’s political transition since the fall of the Assad regime.

This includes the formation of a new Syrian Government and their commitment to hold free and fair elections in Syria.

We also welcome the important steps taken since December towards social cohesion amongst the Syrian people.

This includes the first-ever consensus on the Human Rights Council resolution supported by the Syrian Government, and commitments by the Syrian Government to establish national committees to address transitional justice, missing persons and chemical weapons.

However, as the horrific events in the coastal areas in March remind us, significant challenges remain to address the legacy of 14 years of war and brutality, and to begin the process to provide closure to all those affected.

Second, we commend the IIIM for the valuable progress it has made since December on the international pursuit for accountability.

The volume of documentation and witness interviews that the IIIM team have collated is a testament to your tireless dedication to provide a credible evidence base for future prosecutions.

The appointment of an IIIM Liaison Officer in Damascus is also a promising example of UN-Syria cooperation, and we urge all parties to work collaboratively to ensure that survivors receive the justice that they demand, and that they deserve.

Third, the UK had a leading role in supporting international and civil society accountability efforts during the Assad regime.

And we remain committed to pursuing accountability for victims, survivors and families in Syria, and for that reason, we continue to see the IIIM as a crucial component for the future Syrian-led Transitional Justice processes.

We were proud to have co-sponsored the UNGA resolution which established this mechanism in 2016 and remain committed to ensuring that it has the political backing and operational remit it requires to succeed.

And this year, the United Kingdom has allocated a further $940,000 in funding to our partners in support of this effective evidence collection and preservation.

We thank IIIM for your contribution to the fight against impunity and for amplifying the voices of survivors throughout your work.

The UK will continue to support the Syrian Government and its people in their efforts on reconciliation and accountability to ensure a stable and prosperous future for the people of Syria.

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.

Summary

The Snapshot expands mosquito surveillance in wetland habitats. It encourages the public to get involved in arbovirus surveillance across England. In 2024 this was a volunteer-supported project in collaboration with the RADAR project. All mosquito traps were run by volunteers from the RSPB, BTO, WWT, the Wildlife Trust and other organisations.

The 2024 project aimed to run a BG Pro mosquito trap at a wetland site in every 50km² grid-square in England during the late summer of 2024. Traps were run for 3 consecutive nights during two trapping sessions: once from the 12 and 25 of August, and again between the 2 and 20 of September.

A total of 72 volunteers were recruited in 2024 to run a trap. They represent most of the 50km² grid-squares. All mosquitoes caught in the project were tested for Usutu virus and West Nile virus. For more information about the snapshot survey see the mosquito map (https://www.vb-radar.com/mosquito-map).

AAIB investigation to Spitfire Mk 26B, G-ENAA
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-04)

Spitfire MK 26B (G-ENAA), yawed and rolled left during takeoff causing it to strike the ground, Enstone Airfield, Oxfordshire, 28 July 2024

The aircraft yawed left during the takeoff roll, pitched up rapidly and once airborne rolled rapidly to the left. The left wingtip struck the ground and the aircraft came to rest inverted and caught fire. The pilot was fatally injured. The investigation found that the aircraft most probably stalled during the rapid pitch up and that the ensuing left roll and yaw occurred as a result of a post-stall autorotation.

Examination of the aircraft, while limited to some extent by the disruption caused by the impact and fire, did not reveal any technical defects which may have adversely affected the controllability of the aircraft.

No definitive cause was established for the loss of control.

IEIM400970 - Non-Reporting Financial Institutions: Qualified Credit Card Issuers
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-06)


NRFI: Qualified Credit Card Issuers

Qualified Credit Card Issuers (QCCI) are Non-Reporting Financial Institutions (NRFI) for both regimes.

A QCCI is an entity that:

• is a Financial Institution solely because it is an issuer of credit cards that accepts deposits only when the customer makes a payment in excess of the outstanding balance on the card due and does not immediately return the overpayment to the customer; and

• implements policies and procedures either to prevent a customer deposit in excess of $50,000 or to ensure that any customer deposit in excess of $50,000 is refunded to the customer within 60 days.

To qualify as a NRFI the policies and procedures need to be in place before the date from which the due diligence procedures under each regime come into effect. This is 30 June 2014 for the FATCA and 31 December 2015 for CRS.

From 16 July 2025, a UK Financial Institution can meet the definition of QCCI for a reporting period provided that it meets the requirements set out in the CRS Section VIII(B)(8) and has implemented the required policies and procedures by the end of the calendar year before the start of that reporting period.

Example

A UK credit card issuer meets the requirements set out in the CRS Section VIII(B)(8)except that the required policies and procedures were not implemented until the calendar year 2025. For the reporting years before 2026, the Financial Institution does not meet the conditions to be a QCCI. However, since the policies and procedures were in place by the end of the calendar year 2025, the Financial Institution does meet the conditions to be a QCCI for the reporting year 2026.

Where a Financial Institution is not a QCCI within this definition but issues credit cards or electronic money as part of its business, the financial accounts that result may not be reportable if they meet the conditions to be an excluded account [see IEIM401720].
