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

- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;

Pertussis: guidance, data and analysis
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-27)

The symptoms, diagnosis, management, surveillance and epidemiology of pertussis (whooping cough).

Pertussis (whooping cough) is a respiratory disease that is vaccine preventable. It is caused by the Bordetella pertussis bacterium. Pertussis can cause serious and life-threatening complications. This includes pneumonia, difficulty in breathing (apnoea) and seizures. Severe complications and deaths occur mostly in infants under 6 months of age.

Pertussis is a notifiable disease in England and Wales. This means health professionals must inform local health protection teams of suspected cases. UK Health Security Agency collects data on notifiable diseases (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/notifications-of-infectious-diseases-noids). This data helps healthcare professionals track outbreaks and trends in disease occurrence over time.

Immunisation (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/pertussis-the-green-book-chapter-24) is the most effective way to protect against pertussis.

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.

EIM36500 - Deductions from earnings: capital allowances: introduction: arrangement of guidance: contents
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-05)


Section 36 CAA 2001

Introduction

Employees and office holders can, in certain circumstances, claim deductions for plant and machinery under the general rule for employees’ expenses in Section 336 ITEPA 2003 if they incur insubstantial expenditure on items such as tools and office equipment described at EIM36510 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim36510).

For more substantial expenditure on plant or machinery, capital allowances my be available instead. The capital allowance legislation in Part 2, CAA01 applies in the same way to offices and employments as it does to trades (see CA20006 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-allowances-manual/ca20006)). However, in addition to the ordinary rules, an employee or office holder can only claim allowances if the asset is 'necessarily provided' for use in the performance of the duties or office. Furthermore, an employee or office holder cannot claim capital allowances for a cycle or motor vehicle.

The detailed guidance on capital allowances for employees and office holders is arranged as shown in the following tables.

UK and France pledge joint funding for international biodiversity
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-11)

The UK and France reaffirm their leadership in nature finance with matched contributions to support the International Advisory Panel on Biodiversity Credits

Following the UK-France Summit and the State Visit of President Macron, the UK and France have committed joint financial support for the International Advisory Panel on Biodiversity Credits (IAPB) to support its transition to an independent not-for-profit entity.

The new funding will support the initiative as it works globally to unlock finance, and support IAPB’s ambitious programme through to COP30 in Belém, including a Policy Lab to help governments develop enabling regulatory frameworks for biodiversity credit markets. It will also advance guidance and standards for robust market infrastructure and grow IAPB’s Community of Practice as a key forum for project developers and practitioners.

IAPB was co-launched by the UK and France in 2023 at the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact in Paris and brought together over 25 senior representatives from finance, business, science, NGOs, Indigenous Peoples, and local communities from more than a dozen countries. The Panel’s Framework for High Integrity Biodiversity Credit Markets, launched at CBD COP16 in Cali, Colombia, was well received globally, and featured 31 pilot projects showcasing how biodiversity credit markets are emerging worldwide. In June 2025, IAPB became fully operational as an independent not-for-profit entity.

His Majesty King Charles III and President Emmanuel Macron have both expressed strong support for IAPB’s mission since its inception, underscoring the importance of international collaboration in protecting and restoring nature.

The UK has committed £500,000 to support IAPB’s transition to an independent not-for-profit entity. The French Ministry of Environment, together with the French Treasury, has confirmed a matching contribution of €580,000.

This joint commitment highlights the UK and France’s leadership in shaping nature markets and aligning finance with global biodiversity goals to deliver real outcomes for people and planet.
