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.

The Prime Minister hosted President Steinmeier of Germany for a bilateral in Downing Street this afternoon.

The Prime Minister welcomed President Steinmeier on the first State Visit from a German President to the United Kingdom in 27 years. He reflected on the progress made since the Kensington Treaty was signed earlier this year which would enable even stronger security, defence and economic cooperation between the UK and Germany.

The leaders agreed on the importance of continuing to work together to deliver a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.

They discussed the urgent need to tackle irregular migration, and the progress of new legislation to make facilitating illegal migration from Germany to the UK a crime. The Prime Minister outlined how, once approved by Germany’s parliament, this will bolster efforts to prosecute those involved in smuggling and support the dismantling of the criminal networks driving unacceptable and unlawful journeys through Europe.

The leaders committed to keep building on their economic relationship, which is already one of the biggest and most successful in Europe, before joining British and German business leaders at a roundtable event.

This consultation is on the draft code of practice which accompanies the newly introduced statutory duties under Chapter 3A of the Police, Crime, Sentencing, and Courts (PCSC) Act 2022.

These duties create a framework that ensures that requests for a victim’s third-party material from authorised persons, including the police, are only made when it is necessary, proportionate and sensitive to the privacy of the victim.

Third party material is material held about a person which can be requested from a ‘third party’ as part of an investigation. This can include medical records, local authority records or counselling notes.

This consultation also seeks views on a definition of counselling services.

Transport planning: Gatwick Airport

Government position on development at Gatwick Airport.

The examining authority’s report on the Gatwick Airport Development Consent Order application was received on 27 November 2024. Under section 107(1) of the Planning Act 2008, a decision must be made within 3 months of receipt of the examining authority’s report unless the power under section 107(3) to extend the deadline is exercised and a statement is made to Parliament announcing the new deadline. The current deadline for a decision is 27 February 2025.

This statement confirms that today (27 February 2025) I have issued a ‘minded to approve’ letter for the Gatwick Airport Northern Runway Development Consent Order (DCO) under the Planning Act 2008.

Given the examining authority’s report, for the first time, recommends an alternative DCO which includes a range of controls on the operation of the scheme and not all the provisions have been considered during the examination, I am issuing a minded to approve decision that provides some additional time to seek views from all parties on the provisions, prior to a final decision.

The deadline for the final decision is now extended to 27 October 2025 (an extension of 9 months). The decision to set a new deadline is without prejudice to the decision on whether to give development consent for the above application.

Tax treatment of predevelopment costs: update on consultation
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-11)

Following the Court of Appeal judgement on 17 March on matters with significant readout across to this issue, the government is updating on the publication of the consultation on the tax treatment of predevelopment costs.

At Autumn Budget 2024, the government committed to publishing a consultation on the tax treatment of predevelopment costs. On 17 March, the Court of Appeal handed down its judgement in the case of Orsted West of Duddon Sands (UK) Limited and others v HMRC.

Following the Court of Appeal judgement on 17 March on matters with significant readout across to this issue, the publication of the consultation on the tax treatment of predevelopment costs is being postponed. The government is considering the implications of the judgment for the consultation. To give stakeholders and government time to reflect on the judgement, the government will determine its next steps in respect to this consultation in due course.

In the interim, the government welcomes views on what this judgement means for you or the businesses you represent. Do let us know via xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx)
Statement on Foot and Mouth Disease

Minister Zeichner's opening statement on Food and Mouth Disease

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a severe, highly contagious viral disease of livestock that as we know can have a significant economic impact and a truly devastating effect on farming and rural communities when outbreaks occur, as we know from past history.

Now I can assure the House The UK is currently free of FMD and has been since 2007.

But following the confirmation on the 10 January of FMD in the German state of Brandenburg, Defra has taken rapid action to protect the UK including suspending the commercial import of susceptible animals from Germany and restricting personal imports of animal products from across the EU.

I can assure the House the Government will do whatever it takes to protect our nation’s farmers from the risk posed by foot and mouth. Risk levels to the UK we have increased to medium and last night the Chief Veterinary Officer and I spoke directly with the Federal Minister and his officials.

The Government has taken decisive and immediate action. The import of cattle, pigs and sheep from Germany has been stopped to protect farmers and protect their livelihoods. We will not hesitate to add additional countries to the list if the disease spreads and I can inform the house that the Chief Veterinary Officer has this morning confirmed that while Germany’s surveillance is ongoing, they have not detected any further cases.

FMD guidance is available on GOV.UK and livestock farmers are urged to be extra vigilant and report any suspect disease to APHA immediately​ and the UK Chief Veterinary Officer is also urging livestock keepers to remain vigilant to the clinical signs of FMD. I reiterate there are no cases in the UK currently.

I would also reassure the house that FMD poses no risk to human or food safety, but is a highly contagious viral disease of cattle, sheep, pigs and other cloven-hoofed animals, livestock keepers should therefore be absolutely rigorous about their biosecurity.

The Government is absolutely focused on responding to the animal disease threats we face and protecting animal health and welfare. Upholding high biosecurity standards is paramount to protecting and promoting food production and food safety, for both animal and human, and to support our economy and trade.

That is why we have invested a further £200 million investment in the UK’s main research and laboratory testing facilities at Weybridge to bolster protection against animal disease.

Whist we stand ready to protect our livestock from the threat of FMD and other exotic disease we also offer our support to our European neighbours as they face this threat to their livestock, farming and rural communities.

I can assure the house the Government will be decisive and take the necessary action to protect our farmers from FMD.

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 Car Hire (Day of Swansea) 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;
