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 Bradley Demolition Ltd 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 Bradley Demolition Ltd 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 Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- 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.

AAIB investigation to Mini Nimbus C, G-CFHG
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-19)

Loss of control in-flight, Barlavington, Sussex, 5 June 2024

The pilot took off with the intention to conduct an endurance flight lasting five hours. In the early stages of the flight the pilot successfully gained height in two separate thermals. After approximately 30 minutes of flying, the pilot turned 180° to track back towards the airfield. Without any further significant height gains, the glider eventually descended through the height at which BGA guidance suggests a field landing should be initiated. The glider’s flightpath suggests the pilot did not intend to commit to a landing and at low level an apparent attempt was made to gain height in a thermal. The glider gained a small amount of additional height, but during this manoeuvre two loss of control events occurred, both consistent with a stall and wing drop. The pilot appeared to recover controlled flight during both incidents but lost height and following the second recovery, the glider came into contact with the tops of trees. This resulted in significant damage to the glider, and it struck the ground causing fatal injuries to the pilot. The pilot was appropriately trained, experienced and qualified to conduct the flight and the weather was suitable, although described as challenging by other pilots who flew that day. Whilst not considered to be causal, a contributory medical factor could not be excluded. It was not possible to determine why the pilot elected not to follow the relevant training to conduct a field landing at the appropriate opportunity.

Liver disease profile
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-02)

The liver disease profile provides an invaluable resource relating to one of the main causes of premature mortality nationally.

From 2 December 2025, the liver disease profile ceased as a standalone profile.

This follows a review and streamlining of profiles to avoid duplication within Fingertips.

Where possible, indicators or equivalent data will continue to be published in other publications. These will be updated following those profile timetables and will also update in the liver disease profile. Details of the update status of its profile indicators can be found on Fingertips (https://fingertips.phe.org.uk/profile/liver-disease).

The profile pages will continue to be available - however, the remaining indicators within the liver disease profile that are not captured in other publications will not be updated in the future.

Liver disease is almost entirely preventable with the major risk factors - alcohol, obesity, and hepatitis B and C - accounting for up to 90% of cases.

The liver disease profile (https://fingertips.phe.org.uk/profile/liver-disease) presents data for key indicators around liver disease for England, the regions, and where possible, counties, unitary authorities (UAs) and districts.

Some of the indicators are also presented by sex and level of deprivation to highlight inequalities in liver disease outcomes and care between these groups.

Further indicators for alcohol and obesity are available in the alcohol profile (https://fingertips.phe.org.uk/profile/local-alcohol-profiles) and obesity, physical activity and nutrition profile (https://fingertips.phe.org.uk/profile/obesity-physical-activity-nutrition).

Further data and evidence related to liver disease is available in the second Atlas of Variation in risk factors and healthcare for liver disease in England (https://fingertips.phe.org.uk/profile/atlas-of-variation).

Cabin crew member slipped on fluid during initial climb out from Edinburgh Airport, 10 December 2024

After departure from Edinburgh, the cabin crew member was released to commence duties but hurt an ankle after slipping on what is believed to be de-icing fluid on the floor near the front of the aircraft.

Following a discussion with the commander, the cabin crew member was relieved from performing the in-flight drinks service but was still able to perform safety duties, albeit with some discomfort. Upon later examination at hospital, the ankle was found to be fractured.

IDG40620 - Sharing information outside of HMRC: disclosure in insolvency cases: enquiries from the Official Receiver
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-24)


The Official Receiver is part of The Insolvency Service, which is an executive agency within the Department for Business and Trade (DBT).

Where the Official Receiver is acting in relation to a company he will be the liquidator of that company and so entitled to information as described for liquidators above.

Where the Official Receiver is acting in relation to an individual he will generally be acting as a trustee in bankruptcy and so entitled to information as described for trustees in bankruptcy (IDG40650 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/information-disclosure-guide/idg40650)).

It is important to note that the Official Receiver, or other Insolvency Service staff, can act in a wide variety of capacities. Before any information is provided to the Insolvency Service it will be important to establish what capacity the individual is acting in and whether they are entitled to the information. See also IDG50840 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/information-disclosure-guide/idg50840).

CIRD48200 - Intangible assets: avoidance: measures in FA03/S184: background
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-08)


Changes in June 2003 to anti-avoidance and related parties rules

As first enacted, FA02/SCH29/PARA111 (the predecessor to CTA09/S864) only applied to amortisation and write-downs under FA02/SCH29/PARA9, and to realisation gains under PART4 (now CTA09/CHAPTER 4). It did not apply to the 4% election (see CIRD12905 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird12905)). This was because HMRC did not wish to overburden the new schedule with avoidance provisions, and it was not thought that there would be sufficient amounts at stake to motivate tax avoiders.

But it became apparent that tax avoidance schemes were being created which aimed to get existing assets into the new regime by avoidance transactions designed to overcome the protections we had against related party transactions. These were clearly avoidance schemes, but, because, after completion, the company would only elect for a 4% allowance, it was thought by scheme vendors that the schemes could not be subject to an avoidance challenge under PARA111.

Because of the very large value of existing intangible assets, we could not afford to wait to see if these schemes worked. So counter measures were introduced in FA03. These strengthened the related party definition in FA02/SCH29/PARA95 (now CTA09/s835) and the anti avoidance rule in PARA111 (now CTA09/S864). The position following these counter measures for accounting periods starting on or after 20 June 2003 is as described at CIRD45150 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird45150) (related parties) and CIRD48150 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird48150) (avoidance). But the counter measures may involve re-examining transactions that have taken place in accounting periods ending before 20 June 2003, because for accounting periods commencing on or after 20 June 2003, the new measures are deemed to have always been in force. See CIRD48230 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird48230).

Boiler Upgrade Scheme statistics: December 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-30)

Statistical release on Boiler Upgrade Scheme statistics for the estimation of capital grant uptake to support the installations of low carbon technologies in domestic and non-domestic buildings.

These figures are published as ‘official statistics in development’ because they are a new statistics series and are still in development. They are published to inform users about the uptake of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and to enable user feedback, as well as further methodological development. The status of these statistics will be under regular review and may be subject to change in the future.

From the publication of Thursday 27 February onwards, the ‘in development’ label will be removed and the statistics published as ‘official statistics’. This is because:
- There is a better understanding of the underlying data that is an input into these statistics and it is considered to be of good quality.
- Historical revisions to the statistics are infrequent and at a scale that is immaterial to the overall narrative.
- The methodological processes used to produce these statistics have gone through substantial improvement and development, including thorough quality assurance and testing.
- The content of the statistics has evolved based on user feedback, including the introduction of new breakdowns.
- The statistics have undergone an internal review and are considered to comply with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.
Feedback or any objections to this proposal is welcomed by Friday 14 February.

Enquiries about these statistics should be directed to: xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

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 Ideagen 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 Ideagen 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:

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.
