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 Keyline Care 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 Keyline Care 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
- 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.

TTM02240 - Tonnage tax elections: When election takes effect
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-03)


Group companies with different accounting periods and ‘initial period’ election

Where companies in a group have different accounting dates the rules on when a tonnage tax election takes effect are applied separately to each company by reference to the date of the group election and the accounting period of that company.

However, a group election must be applied consistently. The group cannot seek to backdate the date of entry for some companies at the same time that it is seeking to defer entry for others. Whatever rule applies must be applied consistently to the particular circumstances of each company in the group.

See the example in TTM02303 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm02303).
£15 million refurbishment on Boston's Grand Sluice begins
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-08)

Environment Agency begins refurbishing the Grand Sluice, which protects properties from flooding, supports navigation and helps with water supply.

The Environment Agency has started work on a £15m project to refurbish Boston’s Grand Sluice, helping to protect 9,000 homes and over 25,000 hectares of farmland from the devastating effects of flooding.

For 250 years the Grand Sluice has kept the tide out of the River Witham and managed water levels in the river from Boston to Bardney. To ensure the sluice can continue this vital job the Environment Agency is undertaking a refurbishment over the next four years.

The Grand Sluice has 2 main components, the pointing doors and the guillotine gates, which will be replaced. The pointing doors stop the tide coming in from the sea and keep the Witham upstream as freshwater. The guillotine gates control the river level upstream, keeping it safe for navigation and for water supply. The Grand Sluice takes care of the regular tides, protecting homes and businesses from flooding, allowing navigation for boaters, and supporting water supply for homes and 126 water abstractions for farms. Downstream is the Boston Barrier which protects against extreme tidal surges.

The pointing doors.

The refurbishment will include changes to the sluice so aquatic weed can be flushed more effectively without losing as much water. Aquatic weed can block the channel and cause problems for boaters and wildlife.

This summer, stop logs will be installed to allow the safe isolation of one channel at a time for the main gate works. In 2026, one channel’s gates and doors will be replaced, with work on the second channel the following year, and the third channel after that.

Work is carried out in the summer when river flows are lower, which reduces flood risk, and the sluice can continue operating if it is needed during heavy rain.

Morgan Wray, Area Flood Risk Manager for Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire, said:

The Grand Sluice has been at the heart of Boston for generations. This project will make sure it’s ready to continue its vital job well into the future.

The Grand Sluice has been in place for over 2 and a half centuries. Although it’s been refurbished before, some of the components have now been in use since the early 1980s and are therefore showing signs of deterioration and need replacing.

Background:

The Environment Agency prioritises maintenance work on assets to provide the greatest flood risk reduction for people, homes, and businesses.

PAYE changes for the umbrella company market
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-26)

This measure introduces legislation to tackle non-compliance in labour supply chains which includes an umbrella company, or any third person supplying labour.

An umbrella company employs workers on behalf of agencies and the businesses the workers do the work for (the end client). This measure makes recruitment agencies or end clients accountable for Pay as You Earn (PAYE) on payments to workers supplied through umbrella companies.

If the labour supply chain has:
- more than one agency, the rules apply to the agency that has the direct contract with the end client to supply the worker
- no agency, the rules apply to the end client
This measure will have effect from 6 April 2026.

SMR COI Matrix
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-26)

GBE-N’s SMR COI Matrix sets out scenarios where conflict cannot be managed via corporate separation. Matrix attached for reference.

Following the announcement that GBE-N will deliver one SMR Project it has considered its strategy for managing Conflicts of Interest across the Project.

In light of this, GBE-N has developed a SMR COI Matrix which clearly sets out those COI scenarios which could not be satisfactorily managed through the implementation of corporate separation measures and so GBE-N will not permit organisations to hold contracts in those scenarios.

This COI Matrix is attached for reference.

Organisations interested in tendering for future contacting opportunities with GBE-N should note :

Any Organisation(s) acting as the GBE-N Owners Engineer, cannot also be awarded a contract with GBE-N for any other contract in respect of this Project. Any Tier 1 Contractor to the GBE-N Owners Engineer can act as a Tier 1 Contractor to RRSMR subject to demonstration of suitable conflict of mitigation measures, including how COI will be managed at corporate level. Further detail of the conflict mitigation protocol will be provided in the Invitation to Tender.
- Any Organisation(s) acting as Tier 1 Contractor to RRSMR, including any organisation that has any financial interest in RRSMR cannot act as the GBE-N Delivery Partner.
- As things currently stand, it is GBE-N’s position that it will not permit the GBE-N Delivery Partner or any Tier 1 Contractor to the GBE-N Delivery Partner, to also hold a contract with GBE-N for Balance of Plant / Mechanical Electrical and HVAC, Associated Developments, Engineering Partner or Site Groundworks and Civils. This position will be subject to continual review as it develops its maturity of thinking on its delivery approach for these contract opportunities. Further information will be provided on these procurements in due course.
This SMR Conflict of Interest Matrix will be applied by GBE-N in designing and delivering all procurement activity for its SMR Project. It will be regularly reviewed and updated by GBE-N, particularly as it develops further maturity over its Alliancing Structure.

UK advocates clean energy development in Guatemala
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-14)

An official from the UK’s Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) engaged with stakeholders in Guatemala to advance energy transition.

Mitchell Lloyd, Senior Policy Advisor on International Energy Transition at DENZ visited Guatemala 12-14 May. He met with the General Directorate of Energy at the Ministry of Energy and Mines, other government departments, private sector and international financing institutions developing clean energy initiatives in Guatemala.

The discussions included a series of topics ranging from the need to galvanize global and local leadership and foster international cooperation on a clean energy transition, to unlocking clean growth, job opportunities and build robust clean energy supply chains.

Guatemala has significant potential to develop clean energy projects, with a renewable capacity potential of 3,700 MW that could be integrated into the country’s electricity grid between 2024 and 2040. This includes various sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy.

The visit supports the UK’s government mission to become a clean energy superpower, protecting households from unstable fossil fuel markets, including coal, while at the same time unlocking job opportunities at home and abroad for the clean energy sector.

Fish, Trace, Ship – help shape the Fish Export Service
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-16)

Marine Management Organisation (MMO) is inviting fishers, merchants, exporters and processors to help shape changes to the Fish Export Service (FES) to keep seafood exports flowing to Europe from next January.

MMO is especially keen to gather insights and ideas right now from businesses involved in processing seafood in the UK to assist with designing changes to the documentation for that key link in the supply chain.

The EU is set to update its requirements for Illegal Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing regulations, and so everyone involved in the UK’s seafood supply now has a role to play in ensuring our exports can continue to flow smoothly once the changes come in to effect on 10 January next year.

The UK’s Fisheries Administrations have launched the Fish Trace Ship campaign (https://fishtraceship.campaign.gov.uk) to support the UK’s seafood supply chain to prepare for the additional data and information the FES will need to generate catch certificates.

As part of the work to make the FES ready, MMO has set up a research panel to engage with fishers, merchants and exporters so they can help design and implement the changes. You can sign up here (https://defragroup.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9TUZ2yQALxrJmya).

MMO has set up a dedicated campaign site www.FishTraceShip.campaign.gov.uk (https://fishtraceship.campaign.gov.uk) to provide an easy-to-access information resource as well as a source of latest news and educational guides.

The online content will be continually updated over the coming weeks and months so businesses are urged to sign up for updates to ensure they are always up to speed with developments.

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 Skipton Building Society 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 Skipton Building Society 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
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
We also pledge the following:

Enhanced Support: offering flexibility with services and policies, that adapt to the changing needs of serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families.

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.

Benefit-Risk Submission Report (BRSR) and Pharmacovigilance Sales Submission (PSS) templates and guidance for completion of BRSRs, PSSs and signal notifications.

Following the placing of a VMP on the market in the UK, an MAH must record and submit the results of their signal management process, alongside sales and worldwide authorisation status data.

Signal notifications for signals that suggest a new risk or change to the benefit-risk balance should be submitted using the Benefit-Risk Submission Report (BRSR) within the timelines specified in Guideline IV Signal management, including benefit-risk reports (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/pharmacovigilance-of-veterinary-medicines-in-great-britain/periodic-safety-update-reports).

The annual benefit-risk statement, worldwide authorisation status data and signal/regulatory action data for valid signals that do not meet the criteria for signal notifications must be submitted once annually using the BRSR.

Sales data should be submitted via the Pharmacovigilance Sales Submission (PSS) either once annually or on a rolling basis across the year.

BRSRs, PSSs and Signal notifications should be submitted using the Veterinary Medicines Digital Service (VMDS) (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/veterinary-medicines-digital-service), a secure messaging service.

Any MAH not signed up to VMDS should register at Veterinary Medicines Digital Service (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/veterinary-medicines-digital-service).

For full details of submission of the BRSR, PSS and Signal notifications refer to the guidance in Guideline IV Signal management, including benefit-risk reports (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/pharmacovigilance-of-veterinary-medicines-in-great-britain/periodic-safety-update-reports).
