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 Nescot (North East Surrey College of Technology) College 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 Nescot (North East Surrey College of Technology) College 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
- Armed Forces Charities
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
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.

VATLP02930 - Supply: Overage payments: VAT treatment of overage payments
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-22)


The VAT liability of an overage payment will normally follow the VAT liability of the sale of the land.

However, in some situations the overage payment can have a different VAT liability from that of the original supply of the property. This is because of the interaction between the time of supply rules and the provisions of sections 96(10A) and 96(10B) VAT Act 1994.

In relation to freehold sales, the general effect of Regulation 84(2) of the VAT Regulations 1995 is that, to the extent the consideration is not determinable at the normal time of supply, the land shall be treated as separately and successively supplied at the time further consideration is received or a VAT invoice is issued (whichever is earlier).

In such cases, the time of supply in relation to the overage payment will be later than the time of supply of the original grant. When considering the VAT liability of an overage payment the general rule, set out in section 96(10A) VAT Act 1994, is that you consider the description of the land at the time of supply applicable to the overage payment, not the time of supply of the initial sale of the land. However, as set out in VATLP02950 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-land-and-property/vatlp02950#), that rule does not apply in relation to grants falling within paragraph (a) of Item 1, Group 1, Schedule 9, VAT Act 1994 – which includes freehold sales of ‘new’ commercial buildings; with ‘new’ in this context meaning less than three years from completion, and ‘commercial’ meaning any building that is not designed as a dwelling or number of dwellings nor intended for use solely for a relevant residential or relevant charitable purpose. For the meaning of these terms, see Buildings and construction (VATNotice 708). (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/buildings-and-construction-vat-notice-708)

Please see VATLP02800 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-land-and-property/vatlp02800) for a detailed explanation of section 96(10A) and section 96(10B) VAT Act 1994.

CIRD61530 - Land Remediation Relief: What is "land in a contaminated state"? Relevant Contaminated Land Remediation: Methods of remediation - different grades of cement
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-19)


This section applies to expenditure incurred on or after 1 April 2009

CTA09/S1146 (3)

Some contaminants, such as iron sulphates, present in the soil can corrode cement. As a result it may be necessary to use a different quality of cement to avoid corrosion

Land Remediation Relief is not available where the contamination comes from natural sources, such as the underlying rock strata. Such contamination is not included in the list of exceptions at CIRD61400 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird61400).

The purpose of the higher grade of cement is to prevent or mitigate the possibility of relevant harm. Where the contamination is the result of industrial activity, Land Remediation Relief is available for the additional cost (see CIRD63100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird63100)) arising from using a higher grade of cement or concrete.

HMRC accept that the “relevant harm” test is satisfied where a higher grade of concrete or cement is required to comply with the appropriate British Standard, which from 2004 is BS 8500: Standards for concrete.

Example:

X Ltd acquires a site for re-development. The desk study shows that the site had been previously used as a parking lot by a transport company. Further work shows that the site has high levels of sulphate. The underlying rock is not rich in sulphate and the contamination is traced to the rubble used to create a hard standing for the lorries, which includes sulphate rich blast furnace slag. X Ltd uses higher grade cement in line with the British Standard.

X Ltd can claim Land Remediation Relief on the additional cost of using the higher grade cement as the sulphate contamination is from industrial activity and X Ltd has acted in accordance with the British Standard applicable at the time.

Two track workers struck by a wagon at Port Glasgow
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-10)

Investigation into two track workers being struck by a wagon at Port Glasgow, 15 March 2025.

At around 20:55 on 15 March 2025 a wagon which was being propelled by a rail-mounted crane within an engineering possession struck two track workers near to Port Glasgow station. One track worker became trapped between the wagon and a track panel which had previously been set down on the railway by a second crane. Both cranes were being used as part of the renewal of a section of track within the possession.

The track worker who was trapped had to be freed by the emergency services and was subsequently treated in hospital for their injuries.

Our investigation will seek to identify the sequence of events that led to the accident. It will also consider:
- the actions of the staff involved in the accident and anything which may have influenced them
- how crane movements were being controlled
- the planning and co-ordination arrangements for the work activities being undertaken
- the management of the staff involved, including their training and competence
- the arrangements in place to manage and control the risks associated with movements of cranes, staff and rail vehicles.
Our investigation is independent of any investigation by the railway industry or by the industry’s regulator, the Office of Rail and Road (http://orr.gov.uk/).

We will publish our findings, including any recommendations to improve safety, at the conclusion of our investigation. This report will be available on our website.

The OSCE's role on irregular migration and border security: UK Statement to the Ministerial Council 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-05)

Minister for Europe, North America and UK Overseas Territories, Stephen Doughty, calls for the OSCE to do more to utilise its migration mandate.

Thank you, very much Neil, and thank you to Secretary General Sinirlioğlu for being here. I am delighted to join this discussion on behalf of the UK.

Tackling irregular migration and the illicit finance that fuels it is a shared challenge. As the Prime Minister said this summer: cross-border problems need joint solutions.

The OSCE brings convening power and expertise we need to tackle these problems together.

Vulnerable people are being exploited by cruel smuggling gangs and public services are under strain.

Migration brings benefits, and the UK will always support those fleeing persecution. But uncontrolled flows undermine trust in our ability to manage borders.

We must act – firmly and fairly – and stop the smuggling gangs exploiting people for profit.

Smuggling gangs run on money – so we know that breaking their business model is as important as physical enforcement.

That means stopping the money flows – from new forms of financing paid by migrants to the criminals laundering profits.

The UK has introduced a world-first sanctions regime targeting people smuggling and trafficking, disrupting gangs and providing deterrence to those who want to get into this and exploit vulnerable people.

We know the benefit of partnerships. The UK has worked closely with the Western Balkans to target gangs and smuggling groups, and most importantly support those people who are being trafficked and smuggled.

We very much support the OSCE’s work on migration and border security.

We funded the recent OSCE report on migration trends and welcome the Secretary General’s new report and ideas, including to set up an informal working group on migration.

We believe this would be a practical way to keep momentum on this discussion and share solutions.

As Chair of the Security Committee, the UK will keep pushing for real outcomes that have tangible impacts.

We want to deepen cooperation across the OSCE region: sharing intelligence, linking law enforcement, and strengthening border security.

Together, we can use everything the OSCE offers to tackle irregular migration and the organised crime behind it.

I want to close by thanking you for joining us and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

I also look forward to working with the incoming Chair from Switzerland and indeed all States to share best practice and deliver real results.

Together, we can strengthen cooperation, tackle irregular migration, and shut down the illicit finance networks that enable it. Thank you.

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 AMP Healthcare 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
We also pledge 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.

IEIM8000430 - The requirement to collect a self-certificate
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-04)


UK RCASPs are required to obtain self-certificates and carry out due diligence on all their cryptoasset users, both individuals and entities, to identify if they are reportable users or reportable persons.

A cryptoasset user is defined in the rules as:

· An individual or entity that is a customer of a RCASP Provider for purposes of carrying out relevant transactions.

· An individual or entity, other than a financial institution or a RCASP, acting as a cryptoasset asset user for the benefit or account of another individual or entity as agent, custodian, nominee, signatory, investment advisor, or intermediary, is not treated as a cryptoasset user, and such other individual or entity is treated as the cryptoasset user.

· Where a RCASP provides a service effectuating reportable retail payment transactions (RRPT) for or on behalf of a merchant, the RCASP must also treat the customer that is the counterparty to the merchant for such reportable retail payment transaction as the cryptoasset user with respect to such RRPT, provided that the RCASP is required to verify the identity of such customer by virtue of the RRPT pursuant to domestic anti-money laundering rules.

Controlling Persons

For certain entity cryptoasset users, RCASPs also need to apply an additional step to identify the controlling persons of the entity and establish if those controlling persons are reportable persons.
