Warehouse control procedure

Warehouse keepers making regular deliveries of oil of Tariff headings 2707and 2901 for use other than as power or heating fuels, should be aware that, as from 1 July 2001, the use of C88s for supplementary declarations has ceased and traders should now be authorised for CFSP where such supplementary declarations will be provided electronically.

Refinery control procedure

A refiner may use the oils under Tariff headings 2707 and 2901 without payment of the uncollected duty, provided that the use to which the oils are to be put is specified. The oils must not be used for power or heating purposes.

Note: ASTM reference fuels n-heptane and iso-octane, used for calibrating gasoline’s, are not regarded as power or heating fuels and can therefore qualify for Authorised Use relief under sub-heading 290110 90.

Completion of Authorised Use

In general, Authorised Use should be considered complete when oil has either been: put to a qualifying use; or processed in such a way that it is no longer possible to use it for power or heating.

However, Oil of Tariff heading 2707 put to a 'specific process' listed in Additional Note 4 to Chapter 27 of the tariff is considered to have completed Authorised Use, even if by products which could be used for power or heating may have been produced.

When oil has been packed in closed containers, each containing not more than 25 litres and there is no reason to believe that the oil is to be used for power or heating purposes, Authorised Use is to be considered complete and no further control is necessary. These oils may be used as lubricants within the terms of Authorised Use relief.

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.

Meningococcal disease: guidance, data and analysis
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-31)

The characteristics, diagnosis, management, surveillance and epidemiology of meningococcal disease.

Humans are the only known reservoir for Neisseria meningitidis (also known as the meningococcus). Around 10% of the population carries the meningococcus in the back of their throat or nose without causing any illness. It is transmitted from person to person by inhaling respiratory secretions from the mouth and throat or by direct contact (kissing). Close and prolonged contact is usually needed for transmission.

Occasionally, the meningococcus can cause invasive disease, including meningitis (inflammation of the meninges), septicaemia (blood poisoning) and pneumonia. Young children and teenagers are at highest risk of meningococcal disease. It is not known why some individuals carry the bacteria without them causing harm while others go on to develop invasive disease.

Early signs and symptoms of meningococcal disease may be non-specific and, therefore, difficult to distinguish from common and self-limiting viral illnesses. More detailed information on the symptoms of meningococcal disease is available on the Meningitis Research Foundation (https://www.meningitis.org/) and Meningitis Now (https://www.meningitisnow.org/) websites.

INTM601070 - Transfer of assets abroad: The income charge: Capital sum – right to recovery of tax paid
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-14)


Finance Act 2025 introduced a general right to recovery for individuals who are liable to a charge to tax under ITA07/S727. The right to recovery legislation can be found at ITA07/S729B

The right to recovery came into effect from 6 April 2025 and gives an individual who is assessable on the income of a person abroad as a result of ITA07/S727 the right to recover the tax paid from the person abroad.

For the purposes of recovering the tax the individual can request a certificate from an officer of HMRC specifying the amount of income tax paid. Any tax recovered from the person abroad will not be treated as a benefit for the purpose of the benefits charge under ITA07/S731 or ITTOIA05/S643A should either be in point. Likewise, any tax recovered will not be treated as a capital payment for the purpose of TCGA92/S87.

Example

Mr B is the settlor of a Guernsey Trust which holds shares in a Cayman Islands company, BLtd. Mr B is excluded from benefiting from the trust, but he has made a loan on which interest is charged. In 2025 - 2026 B Ltd receives income of £500,000 and Mr B is charged to income tax on this income under ITA07/S727. Mr B pays tax on this income of £225,000. Mr B can ask B Ltd to reimburse him for the tax paid of £225,000. In support of his claim for re-imbursement Mr B can ask HMRC to provide him with a certificate that specifies how much tax Mr B has paid in respect of the income of the person abroad that is treated as his.

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 Lenovo Technology 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 Lenovo Technology 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 Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses

- Tick species profiles (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/tick-species-profiles)
About the survey

Every year in spring, a survey is carried out in known endemic regions of England to confirm continued activity of red sheep ticks. Vets from the local areas are also contacted and encouraged to submit records of unusual ticks to our Tick Surveillance Scheme as part of our enhanced monitoring.

How we collect the data

Ticks are collected from the vegetation every May, mainly in the South East of England. We collect ticks by using a cotton cloth, brushing it over vegetation and collecting any ticks that latch on. We repeat our survey over several transects, to produce estimates of the density of ticks. Ticks are then screened for pathogens using molecular methods, to estimate the prevalence of pathogens.

What the data currently shows

This species continues to be found active in known endemic locations and several new potential sites of activity have recently been detected.

How to take part

Upper Tribunal Administrative Appeals Chamber decision by Judge Stout on 14 July 2025.

Read the full decision in UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-HS (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/68a897e53a052c9c504c8dc5/UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-HS_PTA.pdf)

Judicial Summary

The appellants’ child (D) attended X School (a special school). Following a breakdown in relations between the appellants and X School, the appellants appealed to the First-tier Tribunal seeking to have Y School named. D continued attending X School in the meantime. The First-tier Tribunal found Y School to be unsuitable. Neither party invited the Tribunal at the hearing to consider another school, although they were in the process of identifying alternatives. The Tribunal accordingly named ‘special school’ as a type in Section I. The local authority subsequently consented to D being removed from the roll of X School, without consulting with the appellants. The local authority acted on the understanding that removing D from the roll of X School was a consequence of the Tribunal’s decision.

The appellants sought permission to appeal on the basis that the Tribunal had failed sufficiently to safeguard D’s rights to prevent him being ‘off-rolled’ without the appellants’ consent. The Upper Tribunal refused permission to appeal.

The Tribunal’s decision to name a type of school was not arguably erroneous given the circumstances as they were at the time of the Tribunal hearing. The removal of X School’s name from Section I of D’s Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan did not of itself arguably cause, require or even permit the local authority to remove D from X School without consultation with the parents either by way of considering, in accordance with the statutory framework: (i) parental preferences for alternative schools; or (ii) making provision of education otherwise than at school. Further, although X School ceased to be under a duty to admit D as a result of the Tribunal’s decision, D was already a pupil at the school and could not be excluded from school otherwise than in accordance with normal procedures. Neither the First-tier Tribunal or the Upper Tribunal on appeal have any powers of enforcement. The First-tier Tribunal was entitled to proceed on the basis that the local authority would comply with its statutory duties. There was no arguable error of law in its decision.

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 VCCP Group LLP 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

2.1 VCCP Group LLP 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.

Kinship Care Fun Day at the Centre of Excellence
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-19)

Sellafield Ltd's engineering centre of excellence in Cleator Moor has opened its doors for a unique community fun day to support people involved in Kinship Care.

Kinship care is when family or friends step up – often during an unexpected crisis – to care for a child when their parents aren’t able to.

Our engineering centre of excellence holds several of these events each year, reaching families in the community with children who might not have the same access to opportunities as their friends or classmates.

It was buzzing with fun activities for children and adults including the world’s largest Pacman game, a magic mirror and a magnet marble run.

Visitors could also explore the centre, learn more about the engineering breakthroughs being made there and meet the people, machines and robots that make it all possible.

But the star of the show was the rodeo sheep ride, with children and adults queuing to test their skills.

Morgan, aged 9, said:

I found the day exciting. It was awesome because there were so many activities. The best was the ninja fruit chopping VR and the sheep you had to hold on to!

Phoenix, aged 6 said:

It was cool because I got a dinosaur tattoo. My favourite bit was the duck hunt. I found a big one by looking really hard and I won a drone! I found the duck first time; I can’t believe it.

Kinship Carer Mike James said:

The team at the centre have once again made a great difference to local families, happy children of all ages running around trying out different activities. Even a few of the carers having fun and trying something.

The team provided a fantastic time for the children, their enthusiasm, support and the activities make such a difference to all of us. This sort of support to local people cannot be underestimated.

An old Scout leader once said to me ‘if one child goes away happy because you provide an activity for them, you make a difference.’ Today you made dozens of us happy’.

Aid should never be used as a political tool: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-18)

Statement by Ambassador James Kariuki, UK Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on Gaza.

Thank you President and thank you to USG Fletcher for his sobering briefing.

I also want to thank Algeria and Somalia for calling this meeting – an initiative which the UK fully supports considering the alarming humanitarian situation.

President, this meeting comes at a critical moment.

As my Foreign Secretary has said, the civilian casualties from Israeli strikes overnight are appalling.

I want to be clear, a return to fighting will only result in the deaths of further Palestinian civilians, Israeli hostages and IDF soldiers.

This conflict cannot be resolved through military means.

We want to see the ceasefire re-established as soon as possible.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza was already catastrophic.

After 17 days, Israel continues to block all aid entering Gaza. Crossing points have been shut off. Bakeries are closing. Hospitals and desalination plants are running on generators that could stop at any moment.

This is horrifying and unacceptable.

Humanitarian aid should never be used as a political tool.

We are calling for the following urgent steps to bring this terrifying situation back from the brink.

First, we call for the protection of civilians, and for safe, rapid, unimpeded humanitarian access.

We call on Israel to fulfil its international obligations and allow for a rapid and unhindered resurgence in the flow of aid.

This includes the supply of items such as medical equipment, shelter items, and water and sanitation equipment, essential to meet humanitarian and early recovery needs in Gaza, but which remain restricted.

Failure to deliver this not only risks undoing the vital humanitarian progress made during phase one of the ceasefire agreement; it also risks violating international humanitarian law.

Second, we urge all parties to return urgently to dialogue and to implement the ceasefire agreement in full, including scaling up aid and releasing the 59 hostages who have been cruelly held by Hamas for over 500 days and have endured unimaginable suffering.

For Israel to be secure, these terrorists can have no role in Gaza’s future. But cutting off aid and resuming the fighting is not a means to this end.

Finally, we reiterate that civilians of Gaza who have suffered so much must be allowed to return to their homes and rebuild their lives.

Colleagues, we urge all parties to return to the ceasefire deal and get back to the path of peace.

A negotiated two-state solution is the best way to ensure long-term security for both Israelis and Palestinians.
