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 My Pilot Shop 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 My Pilot Shop 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
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
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.

BLM10011 - Lease accounting: accounting standards: commercial benefits of leasing
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-31)


This manual is being updated to reflect FRS 102 (2024 amendments). For guidance on the tax treatment of accounts prepared under IFRS 16 or the revised FRS 102, please refer to pages within the BLM50000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm50000) chapter.

Whether to lease or borrow

Potential lessees have various choices in addition to leasing an asset. They could borrow all or part of the money and buy the asset themselves, so getting the benefit of capital allowances (where eligible). The lessee’s tax position is one factor that may influence which method of finance is selected. A lessee who has no current tax liability, or who pays tax at less than the full rate of corporation tax, is more likely to benefit from leasing than one who is taxable at the full rate. This is because, where the lessor is eligible to claim, they may pass on the benefits of their capital allowances to the lessee by means of a corresponding reduction in rents. Where very expensive assets are leased (‘big ticket’ leasing), even small timing differences can be important.

Working out the pros and cons of leasing over buying is a complex and fact-dependent commercial decision for customers in each case, and one over which lessees often take professional advice. From a compliance perspective neither method is preferred over the other, but it is essential to correctly apply the legislation to the method chosen to provide plant or machinery.

There are many situations where leasing has been used to avoid tax. These are outlined at BLM01000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm01000) onwards and involve both timing advantages and absolute advantages.

Where tax avoidance is involved you should very carefully consider the facts and relevant law and follow the appropriate guidance.

Please contact a leasing technical adviser in CTI&G if you think there is avoidance but cannot find appropriate guidance.

Improving the appearance of balance sheets

The somewhat arbitrary distinction between operating and finance leases made it difficult for investors to compare companies. Under IAS 17 Leases and FRS 102 (pre 2024 amendments), operating leases do not feature on the lessee’s balance sheet. In contrast, if the lease is a finance lease, both the asset and the associated liability appear on the lessee’s balance sheet.

To address concerns, IFRS 16 Leases was introduced and became mandatory for IFRS reporters for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. It superseded IAS 17 and introduced significant changes to lessee accounting, recognising right-of-use assets and lease liabilities arising from all but exempt lease agreements on the balance sheet. FRS 102 (2024 amendments), effective from 1 January 2026, adopts the on-balance sheet model already used in IFRS 16, with some simplifications.

Further details on FRS 102 (2024 amendments) Section 20 and IFRS 16 can be found at BLM17000. (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm17000)
Unlicensed director of Leicester security company convicted
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-09)

Daniel Street, the owner of DCS Security Services, has been convicted for failing to hold the required SIA licence for the role.

On 3 September 2025, Daniel Street pleaded guilty to an offence under Section 3 of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 at a hearing in Leicester Magistrates’ Court.

Mr Street was given a six-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay a £26 victim surcharge and £150 in costs, totalling £176, within 28 days.

SIA investigators had found Mr Street working as a security operative at a venue in Leicester in November 2024. He denied that he was working there as security at the time, claiming he was only helping people park. Mr Street, on behalf of DCS Security Services, denied providing security services at this site.

However, the venue’s management later confirmed that DCS Security Services did in fact have a contract to supply security to the venue.

Mr Street had been the sole owner of DCS Security Services since July 2019, despite never having held an SIA licence as required by law. As a result, he was summonsed to attend Leicester Magistrates’ Court.

Nicola Bolton, SIA Criminal Investigations Manager, said:

The owners of security companies hold an important position of trust in the private security industry, just as front line officers do, and their licensing requirements are just as important. By operating as a director without a licence, Daniel Street undermined that trust and put the public at risk. I am glad to see that reflected in today’s conviction.

Background

By law, security operatives working under contract must hold and display a valid SIA licence. Information about SIA enforcement and penalties (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/learn-how-we-enforce-sia-regulation) can be found on GOV.UK/SIA (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/security-industry-authority).

The offence relating to the Private Security Industry Act 2001 mentioned above is:
- Section 3 – engaging in licensable conduct without a licence
The SIA is the organisation responsible for regulating the private security industry in the UK, reporting to the Home Secretary under the terms of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2001/12/contents). The SIA’s main duties are the compulsory licensing of individuals undertaking designated activities and managing the voluntary Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS).

Reserving competitions for below-threshold contracts
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-03)

This guidance explains how relevant authorities will be able to reserve competitions for below-threshold contracts to local and UK suppliers.

In preparation for the Local Government (Exclusion of Non-commercial Considerations) (England) Order 2026 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2026/9780348277104/contents) coming into force in early 2026, we are publishing guidance for relevant authorities to take into consideration when planning forthcoming below-threshold procurements.

When in force, the legislation will disapply the restriction in section 17(5)(e) of the Local Government Act 1988 that previously prevented authorities from reserving below-threshold contracts by reference to the location of contractors. The disapplication will apply only in specific circumstances and in relation to the award of below-threshold contracts.

The guidance explains:
- how authorities may reserve competitions to suppliers based within the local area or UK
- how to define local area and supplier location
- options for reserving competitions for SME and VCSEs, either with or without the area reservation
- requirements in notices that must be published
- safeguards to ensure compliance with section 17 of the Local Government Act 1988

DOSR Regulatory Notices may detail new or revised safety criteria or parameters for scenarios under the remit of the DOSR.

The Defence Safety Authority’s (DSA’s) regulators provide regulatory advice, normally through issuing Regulatory Notices or Regulatory Instructions. These are published by the individual DSA regulator as stand-alone documents. All regulatory advice is strongly recommended practice. The burden of proof that the regulation is satisfied rests entirely with the regulated community. Care is taken to ensure that regulatory advice details what is required and to what standard but is not prescriptive as to how it is to be achieved.

DOSR Regulatory Notices may detail new or revised safety criteria or parameters for scenarios under the remit of the DOSR.

These scenarios include: Defence Ordnance, Munitions and Explosives (OME) Acquisition, Defence In-service and Operational Safety Management, Defence Ranges, Major Accident Control, and Laser Safety, covered by the DOSR Publication suite DSA 02.OME (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dsa-02ome-defence-ordnance-munitions-and-explosives-ome-regulations) and DSA 03.OME

Regulatory Notices are usually issued to facilitate a change in procedure or require an action to be undertaken to improve the level of protection or instruction in a potentially dangerous situation. DOSR Regulatory Notices remain extant until either cancelled or incorporated into DSA 02.OME regulations (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dsa-02ome-defence-ordnance-munitions-and-explosives-ome-regulations) or DSA 03.OME guidance material and should be acted upon within a reasonable time if a time period is not stated.

Environment Agency regulatory position on using whole waste tyres in building construction, in escape ladders in water storage reservoirs, for fendering systems and planters, and as crash protection barriers.

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have an environmental permit for a waste operation when you store and use whole waste tyres:
- in building construction
- in escape ladders in water storage reservoirs
- for fendering systems at quaysides
- as fendering on boats and vessels
- as planters used for displaying flowers and plants
- as barriers for crash protection
However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in the RPS.

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 Planned Link 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 Planned Link 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 Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
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.

Seafarer cadets become first in UK to follow new ‘futureproofed’ maritime syllabus
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-04)

This year's cohort of seafarer trainees have become the first in the UK to learn under a new syllabus developed through an industry-wide initiative, led by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), to ensure skills keep pace with modern technology and practices.

Lessons began in September this year using the updated syllabus. Its revision was completed and presented to nautical colleges in 2023 for implementation into courses now being rolled out for the next generation of seafarers.

Highlights are the inclusion of required learning in:

Digital charts

Alternative fuels and propulsion

Cyber security and data skills

The new syllabus is the latest product of the Cadet Training and Modernisation (CT&M) Programme, led and coordinated by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) and involving industry, training providers and seafarers.

It is believed to be the first time a maritime regulator has joined forces with industry experts on such a skills project which is bearing fruit including the recently announced new app-based electronic Training Record Book (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/digital-training-record-books-set-to-transform-cadet-learning-at-sea).

Ajit Jacob, MCA Chief Examiner, said:

Developing the next generation of seafarers needs a strong foundation of skills for them to work effectively, safely and carry the maritime industry forward.

That’s exactly what we have in our new, futureproofed syllabus: an up-to-date, regularly reviewed set of required learning that has been welcomed by the maritime industry.

It is equipping trainees for new and developing technology and practices, but also modern skills to ensure welfare is a priority too. I wish the best of luck to all trainees beginning their studies – and careers – this year.

Background

The CT&M Programme is based on recommendations made by the Seafarer and Cadet Training Review, launched by the Maritime Skills Commission on the instruction of the Maritime Minister in 2021.

It brings together key stakeholders, including the UK Chamber of Shipping, Merchant Navy Training Board, seafarer unions, educators and more, focused on improving seafarer training. It is believed to be the first time a maritime regulator like the MCA has joined forces with industry experts to shape such training in this way.

The MCA does not deliver training but is responsible for overseeing that standards are maintained by providers through seafarer assessments and regular audits of the training providers.
