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 The Rotherham NHS Foundation 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 The Rotherham NHS Foundation 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.

Survey on the state of UK cyber insurance market
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-10)

The government has commissioned research on cyber insurance to gain a better understanding of the state of the market and uptake of cyber insurance by SMEs.

This survey is now closed.

The government has commissioned Grant Thornton to undertake a research project to better inform our understanding of the cyber insurance market.

The research will focus on a survey of small and medium sized businesses from across the UK economy. The survey will run until Friday 14 February. We are inviting leaders of SMEs from organisations across the economy to complete the survey, whether you have cyber insurance or not.

Stakeholders from small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) which are companies that employ between 10 and 249 employees. Participants will be asked questions regarding:
- Their understanding and awareness of cyber insurance;
- Their own experience of the process of procuring cyber insurance, the types and costs of cyber insurance that they have procured;
- Their views on the benefits and limitations of cyber insurance for SMEs.
The government and Grant Thornton can give the following reassurances about the research:
- Taking part is totally confidential and voluntary for all individuals and organisations.
- The questionnaire is not technical, and participants do not need any specific IT knowledge.
Who can take part?

People responsible for making decisions about the procurement of cyber insurance for their company across the UK can participate in this survey. The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and Grant Thornton have an interest in engaging people who represent small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), which are companies that employ between 10 and 249 employees

Timelines

Respondents will be able to provide responses to the survey from mid-January until 14 February 2025. A report on the findings will be published on gov.uk. Organisations who have taken part in the pilot project will not be identifiable in the report.

Judicial Summary

This appeal is ALLOWED.

The Appellant’s operator’s licence was revoked upon a finding that whilst the Appellant had uploaded a compliant TM1 form nominating a new transport manager within the period of grace granted, it had failed to post a hard copy with a “wet signature” to the Office of the Traffic Commissioner within the period of grace. There is no evidence that the Appellant was either instructed or required by the rules to provide a hard copy with a “wet signature” to the Office of the Traffic Commissioner and in the circumstances, the Appeal is allowed.

The matter is remitted to the Traffic Commissioner for him to consider and if appropriate, approve, the nomination. The Appellant is put on notice that the Traffic Commissioner may wish to call a public inquiry to consider financial standing or a change in directors or any other regulatory concerns that may have arisen since the nomination was made.

CTM36900 - Transactions between dealing and non-dealing associated companies
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-19)


ICTA88/S774 was aimed at transactions which attempt to exploit mismatches in tax treatment between a ‘dealing company', that is a company carrying on a trade of dealing in securities, land or buildings, and an associated ‘non-dealing company', defined as any company which is not a ‘dealing company’.

The section was not rewritten into CTA10 on the grounds that it is obsolete. Repeal was recommended to the Law Commission and the section was repealed by entry into Group 1 of Part 10 of Schedule 1 to the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 2013.

The Law Commission explained the repeal of ICTA88/S774 as justified on the basis of four factors
- TCGA92/S161 and S173, which deal with appropriation of assets held as trading stock,
- TCGA09/PART5 to PART7, the loan relationships and derivative contracts provisions,
- CTA09/S695, transfers of value between connected companies, in particular as regards abandoned options, and
- CTA09/S354, exclusion of debits for impaired or released connected companies’ debits – this would deny to a dealing company relief for loss in value of its loan to an associated non-dealing company where the loan is written down due to lack of creditworthiness of the non-dealing company. CTA09/S464 gives priority to CTA09/PART5 which means ICTA88/S774 (1)(b) is superseded.

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.
