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 AJ Case Management 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 AJ Case Management 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 Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed 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.

UK local authority and regional greenhouse gas emissions statistics
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-19)

UK local authority and regional estimates of greenhouse gas emissions.

These statistics provide the most reliable and consistent breakdown of greenhouse gas emissions across the country, using nationally available data sets going back to 2005.

They cover territorial emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), although not fluorinated gases, which are included in the UK territorial greenhouse gas emissions statistics (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/uk-territorial-greenhouse-gas-emissions-national-statistics). Prior to the 2005 to 2020 publication the statistics covered emissions of carbon dioxide only.

These estimates are to help those working on local or regional indicators and inventories as part of their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. On their own, however, they cannot give all the information necessary to plan and monitor the progress of all local emissions reduction initiatives: this may require additional monitoring at the local level.

You can access past editions of the statistics via The National Archives (http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20130109092117/http:/www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/statistics/climate_stats/data/archive/archive.aspx).

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 Gray Fabrication 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 Gray Fabrication 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 Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
- Additional Leave for Reservists
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.

- the date the qualification was awarded
- the level of the qualification
- the awarding organisation
Before you start

You will find it helpful to have the following documents:
- qualification certificate

SPE15475 - Common storage: points to consider before authorisation
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-24)


This manual will be archived on 15 December 2025. For up-to-date guidance on special procedures, please refer to Pay less or no duty on goods you store, repair, process or temporarily use (GOV.UK) (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/pay-less-or-no-duty-on-goods-you-store-repair-process-or-temporarily-use) and Customs Technical Handbooks (GOV.UK) (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/customs-technical-handbooks). If you have feedback about this manual being archived, email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

Note: This manual is under review and is likely to be withdrawn. If there is anything within this manual you use regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx?subject=%node:field_page_reference feedback) to let us know. Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/services-information).

It should be recognised that there are instances where, although theoretically, the goods can be stored together, there are legislative barriers preventing such storage taking place. For example, third country and UK sourced dried milk powder, although identical, cannot be mixed because of health restrictions placed on such activities by Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). That these goods cannot be mixed or stored together should not be taken as an indication that the goods are not the same.

In such cases, provided that the other criteria at SPE15550 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/customs-special-procedures/spe15550) are met, common storage would only be denied if customers stipulated that they were only prepared to accept either third country or UK sourced goods, not both.

Note: Northern Ireland (NI) customs authorisations will continue to fall within the provisions of the Union Customs Code (UCC), as retained by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and CEMA 1979.

UK National North Sea Cod Avoidance Plan
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-21)

UK National North Sea Cod Avoidance Plan

This UK plan seeks to address two key issues:
- to support recovery of the North Sea cod stock and,
- to support the fishing industry to manage their quota in line with the reduced TAC that was set in 2020.
Real Time Closures (RTCs) and Real Time Reporting (RTR) in particular will help manage quota issues for the fleet. This plan mainly focuses on spatial measures to avoid catching an abundance of cod. Whilst spatial measures are difficult to quantify, our previous experience of using spatial measures such as RTCs (particularly during the Cod Recovery Plan) demonstrates that such measures can have an observable effect on cod mortality and biomass.

The UK National North Sea Cod Avoidance plan outlines the following;
- Spawning/Seasonal Closures
- Real Time Closures
- Real Time Reporting
- Selectivity – Fish and Mud areas (For English vessels this provision is only applicable in Scottish waters IV)

IHTM44055 - Pre-owned assets: exemptions: foreign element - excluded property prior to 6 April 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


Where a Pre-owned Asset (POA) charge arises before 6 April 2025, property situated abroad and comprised in a settlement was excluded property if the settlor was non-domiciled at the time the property became comprised in the settlement.

This meant that an individual who was non-domiciled when they created the settlement who later became domiciled or deemed domiciled is not subject to the POA charge on foreign assets in the settlement even if they continue to benefit from them, because they continued to be excluded property and this is disregarded for the purposes of the POA charge FA04/Sch15/Para12(3).

Additions to the settlement after the settlor became UK domiciled or deemed domiciled were not excluded property and so subject to the POA charge in the usual way.

Property which was excluded property comprised within a settlement immediately before 30 October 2024 but which would otherwise have been included in the individual’s estate under the gift with reservation provisions (GWR) will continue to be disregarded for the purposes of the POA charge (see IHTM047061 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47061))

In all other cases, on or after 6 April 2025, the settlor’s domicile is not relevant and the POA charge applies to UK resident individuals - with both UK and foreign property, including property comprised in a settlement, if the settlor is long-term UK resident (see IHTM047061 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47061)).

The definition for excluded property for inheritance purposes includes interests in UK unit trusts, Open-Ended Investment Companies (OEICs) and gilts, but this is not extended to the POA charge.

Holdings in UK Unit Trusts and OEICs may, however, be excluded from the POA charge if they were excluded property comprised within a settlement immediately before 30 October 2024 and would otherwise have been included in the individual’s estate under the gift with reservation (GWR) provisions.
