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 Amiri Construction 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 Amiri Construction 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 Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed 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.

Insolvency

Where the approved legal person, such as a sole proprietor, partnership or limited company, is facing a serious financial situation such as bankruptcy, liquidation (winding up), administration or needs to enter voluntary arrangements, an Insolvency Practitioner (IP) will be appointed to either save the business or find the best solution for all involved, and will in doing so may:

• sell off the business’s assets.

• collect money due.

• agree creditors’ claims; and

• distribute money collected after paying costs.

Insolvency Practitioners are monitored by regulators such as the Insolvency Service and the Office for Professional Body Anti-Money Laundering Supervision (OPBAS).

Subject to HMRC permitting the insolvent person’s approvals and authorisations to continue, the IP may carry on the insolvent person’s approved activities using the insolvent person’s existing approvals, provided approval conditions and requirements are met. At this stage, the IP does not require separate approval, and their appointment should not be considered as a transfer of a going concern.

Once notified of the IP’s involvement with the approved business, our records should be updated to confirm the involvement. If the IP can save the approved business, then the approval will continue unaffected. If the business is sold as a going concern, then the transfer will need to follow normal transfer of a going concern policy as set in this guidance Registration and approval: transfer of a going concern (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/holding-and-movements-assurance-guidance/hmag30060). Where assets sold include excise goods under suspension arrangements the IP is responsible for ensuring that the goods are removed and transported in accordance with excise law.

Where approvals are no longer required they should be revoked please refer to: Registration and approval: revocation (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/holding-and-movements-assurance-guidance/hmag30130)

Respect for Sudan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity is vital for a sustainable end to this war: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-26)

Statement by Ambassador Barbara Woodward, UK Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on Sudan.

President, nearly two years since the start of this war, and once again I cannot fail to be struck by the reports of death and destruction.

More violence. More families ripped apart. More children starving.

Last month, my Foreign Secretary visited Adré and heard first-hand about the suffering faced by women. The suffering of sexual violence, of rape, of hunger, who had fled the conflict.

It does not need to be this way.

The parties to the conflict can take actions now to end the suffering.

And I’d like to highlight three priorities.

First, we urge the parties to end their military ambitions and focus on creating the conditions for peace, including through full co-operation with UN and African Union mediation efforts.

We share the Secretary-General’s deep concern at the announcement by the Rapid Support Forces and affiliated civilian actors and armed groups of a political charter that expresses an intention to establish a governing authority in areas of their control.

Deepened divisions risk even further destabilisation in Sudan and the region.

Respect for Sudan’s charter rights, its unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity is vital and will be necessary for a sustainable end to this war.

In April, my Foreign Secretary will invite Foreign Ministers from some 20 states and international organisations to London, for discussions focused on supporting a peaceful way forward for the Sudanese people.

Second, both parties must facilitate the rapid and unimpeded passage of humanitarian relief to people in need.

The decision by the Sudanese Armed Forces to keep the Adré border crossing open is welcome.

But with over 30 million people in humanitarian need, it is simply not enough.

We urge the SAF to open Adré permanently, and authorise the use of further regional border crossings.

We call on both sides to lift unnecessary bureaucratic impediments which are delaying aid deliveries by weeks, and to provide humanitarian actors with security guarantees to operate safely.

Third, we reiterate the Council’s calls for the Rapid Support Forces to end their siege on El Fasher and cease all attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure.

We call on both parties to protect civilians, in line with their obligations under the Jeddah Declaration.

Mr President, the parties to the conflict should act now to end this suffering.

Spring statement social security changes – updated impact on poverty levels in Great Britain
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-30)

This ad hoc analysis provides estimates of the impact of changes to PIP and UC on poverty levels following revisions to the previously announced policy.

An updated analysis (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/spring-statement-social-security-changes-updated-impact-on-poverty-levels-in-great-britain-july-2025) was published on 7 July 2025.

This publication updates previous analysis (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/pathways-to-work-reforming-benefits-and-support-to-get-britain-working-green-paper/spring-statement-2025-health-and-disability-benefit-reforms-impacts) to account for changes to apply the changed entitlement rules for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) to new claims only and changes to benefit rates to ensure existing Limited Capability for Work Related Activity (LCWRA) claimants (prior to April 2026) do not lose out in real terms.

It provides an estimate of the combined impact on poverty levels for individuals in the financial year ending (FYE) 2030. This estimate does not include any potential positive impact of the bolstered £1billion annual funding, by FYE 2030, or the additional £300m of support in this SR period that is being brought forward. These measures will support those with disabilities long-term health conditions into employment, which we expect to mitigate the poverty impact among people it supports into work.

Excluding the impact of the additional employment support, it is estimated that there will be an additional 150,000 working age adults in relative poverty after housing costs in FYE 2030 as a result of the modelled changes to social security, compared to baseline projections. The impact on the number of pensioners and children in poverty is expected to be negligible. These latest policy changes reduce the poverty impact because existing recipients are now protected. The poverty impacts occur from potential future recipients no longer receiving the money which was assumed in the baseline projections.

Deadline extended: Call for evidence - An inspection of the Home Office’s approach to overstayers
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-15)

The ICIBI invites anyone with knowledge and experience of the Home Office’s approach to overstayers to contribute to this inspection. Deadline extended to close of play 23 April 2025.

The ICIBI has begun an inspection of the Home Office’s approach to overstayers. The Home Office uses the term “overstayer” to describe “a person who was granted limited leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, but who neither left the country on the date indicated nor asked for the leave to be extended.”

I am inviting anyone with knowledge or first-hand experience of this subject to submit evidence to inform my inspection. I would be pleased to hear about both what is working well and what could be improved in the following areas:

the identification of potential overstayers during the visa application process

communications with people who are suspected of overstaying

the identification of overstayers in the UK

the Home Office’s management of overstayers

the quality and accessibility of information to deter people from overstaying

As I have not yet finalised the scope of this inspection, I would be happy to receive any other evidence that falls outside these areas that may be relevant to the Home Office’s approach to overstayers.

This call for evidence will remain open until close of play 23 April 2025.

Please also note that information submitted may be quoted in the final inspection report, but it is the ICIBI’s practice not to name sources and any examples or case studies will be anonymised.

Please click xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to email your submission to the Independent Chief Inspector.

Please note: The ICIBI’s statutory remit (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/30/crossheading/border-and-immigration-inspectorate) does not extend to investigating or making decisions about individual cases. This remains a Home Office responsibility. However, the Independent Chief Inspector can and does take an interest in individual cases to the extent that they illustrate or point to systemic problems.

Data Protection

Information on how we process personal data submitted in response to a call for evidence can be found in the ICIBI privacy information notice (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/icibi-privacy-information-notice/icibi-privacy-information-notice#calls-for-evidence) available on the ICIBI website.

If at any point you wish to object to the processing of your personal data, you should contact us by emailing xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

Grant determination for the Children’s Social Care Prevention Grant Determination 2025 to 2026.

This is the grant determination for the Children’s Social Care Prevention Grant for 2025 to 2026. This grant is for direct investment in additional prevention activity for children and families through the implementation of Family Help and Child Protection reforms. It will also fund local authorities to deliver against the planned new legislative duty to offer Family Group Decision Making (FGDM) meetings to all families at the pre-proceedings stage. This grant should be used alongside the Children and Families Grant, which will enable continuation of existing prevention services.
BIM34001 - Change of basis of computing taxable profits: introduction and flowchart
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-03)


The basis on which taxable profits of a trade, profession or vocation are computed may change from one period of account to the next. This may be as:
- a result of a change in the legislation,
- a change in our understanding of the legislation,
- a change of accounting policy, or
- to correct errors.
These different situations have been dealt with differently by case law and legislation.

For tax purposes a major distinction is whether the old basis was a valid or an invalid basis. A valid basis is one, which conforms to the law or practice applicable to the period of account concerned, an invalid basis conforms to neither.

Decision process

Is the old basis of computing the profits a valid basis?

Guidance on valid and invalid basis is at BIM34020 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim34020).
- No - A change from invalid to valid is governed by the Ahmedabad principle, see BIM34025 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim34025)
- Yes - See below
Has there been a change in basis or simply a refinement of the existing method?

See BIM34050 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim34050).
- No - No adjustment is necessary, see BIM34015 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim34015)
- Yes - See below
Is the change a change in accounting policy?

See BIM34045 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim34045).
- No - Changes in tax computation adjustments, see BIM34070 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim34070), BIM34095 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim34095)
- Yes - Changes in accounting policy, see BIM34045 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim34045), BIM34095 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim34095)
