Planning Inspectorate Chief Executive announces new role and interim leadership
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-25)

Paul Morrison, Chief Executive at the Planning Inspectorate, is moving to a new role within the Civil Service from January 2026.

Through his 3-year tenure, Paul has led the Inspectorate through a period of change – introducing a new structure to embed a service culture, growing the organisation to meet the demands of the planning system and accelerating performance to decide planning appeals faster whilst maintaining quality.

To continue this progress, Graham Stallwood has been appointed as Interim Chief Executive ahead of open recruitment in 2026. Graham has been the Chief Operating Officer at the Inspectorate since 2019 and brings a wealth of experience to the role.

Leading the Planning Inspectorate has been a great privilege. During my time here, I’m proud that we’ve significantly reduced appeal waiting times, modernised digital services and maintained high quality decision-making. None of this would have been possible without the commitment and skill of outstanding colleagues.

I’m confident that the organisation is in excellent hands with Graham Stallwood as Interim CEO. His experience and vision will serve the Planning Inspectorate exceptionally well. After 3 years in this role, now feels like the right moment for a new challenge and I’m excited to return to the Home Office as Director General for Visas, Passports, Citizenship and Resettlement Services.

Paul Morrison

I’m excited to step into this role at the Planning Inspectorate. As a Chartered Planner by profession and having been part of this organisation for 6 years, I know how vital our work is to shaping communities and supporting national priorities including housing delivery and infrastructure development.

I’ve worked alongside our excellent Inspectorate team and seen their commitment first-hand. I’m determined to ensure we maintain the high standards and certainty that the planning system depends on during this transition.

Graham Stallwood

New Chief Planning Inspector

In the New Year, the Planning Inspectorate will also appoint a new Chief Planning Inspector as Richard Schofield has decided to step back from his role to continue his focus on opportunities beyond PINS, including the extension of his secondment to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. Rebecca Phillips will continue as Interim Chief Planning Inspector during the recruitment process.

Paul Morrison said:

Rich has been a huge asset to the Inspectorate as Chief Planning Inspector. His deep knowledge, passion, and openness in the role have helped to inspire colleagues throughout the system. I am grateful to know he will continue to champion the Inspectorate in government and externally.

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 Romney Resource 2000 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

2.1 Romney Resource 2000 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

- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day

VATSC02210 - Basic principles and underlying law: VAT Act 1994 Schedule 4
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-09)


A supply is either of goods or services. There is no complete list of which supplies fall into each category, but logical steps can be taken to establish whether a supply is of goods or of services. It is important to make the distinction between the two because of differences in the law relating to the place and time of supply and differences in liability.

VAT act 1994, Section 5 and Schedule 4 (along with some statutory Instruments) sets out which transactions may be treated by as supplies of goods and those which may be treated as supplies of services. VAT Act 1994 Scheduel 4 is headed Matters to be treated as supplies of goods or services and explands on the basic provisions in VAT Act 1994, Section 5 which states that when a supply is not of goods but is done for a consideration, it is a supply of services.

VAT Act 1994 Schedule 4 is headed Matters to be treated as supplies of goods or services and expands on the basic provisions in VAT Act 1994, Section 5 which states that when a supply is not of goods but is done for a consideration, it is a supply of services.

The first step is to ascertain whether the supply in question can be identified as a supply covered by Schedule 4. The Schedule is not a comprehensive guide to every category of supply, but it covers every method by which goods can be supplied (except self-supply).

Further explanation of the paragraphs in Schedule 4 is given in the following sections of VATSC, other parts of the Guidance, or in VAT notices:

CG38460 - What is a qualifying settlement - protected settlements
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-22)


TCGA92/Sch5/para9(10A) to (10D)

A protected settlement is
- a settlement created before 19 March 1991
in which the only beneficiaries are:
- children of the settlor their spouse or civil partner who under 18 years at the beginning of tax year
- unborn children of the settlor their spouse or civil partner or future spouse or civil partner and any future spouse or civil partner of those children
- a future spouse or civil partner of the settlor
- persons who are not defined persons, see CG38470, in relation to the settlor.
A beneficiary is a person who receives or may receive a benefit from the settlement, paragraph 9(10C). It is the same definition that paragraph 2(1) uses to determine whether the settlor has an interest in the settlement, see CG38465.

In strictness the references to the settlor’s children would not include their grandchildren. So a settlement for the benefit of the settlor’s minor children and their grandchildren would not be a protected settlement. In practice HMRC do not treat the settlor’s, or their spouse’s, grandchildren of any age as causing the settlement to fall outside the definition of protected settlement. HMRC published this view in Tax Bulletin 38 (https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20101006154802mp_/http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/bulletins/tb38.htm) page 620.

Tainting

A protected settlement will lose its protection, and come within the scope of section 86, if it is subject to certain changes after 6 April 1999. This is commonly called tainting. It would be unusual for a protected settlement to allow itself to become tainted. See CG38520 for guidance on tainting.

Background

When FA 1998 extended the scope of section 86 so that it applied to all settlements there was a transitional period of a year before the change took effect. This was to allow beneficiaries of pre-19 March 1991 settlements to disclaim their interest so that section 86 would not apply.

If the beneficiaries were minors or unborn children this would require the permission of the court which would be impractical and expensive. Also the need to exclude spouses as potential beneficiaries could cause difficulty if the settlor was unmarried. To avoid these difficulties a separate class of ‘protected settlement’ was introduced to protect settlements for these beneficiaries from the FA 1998 changes. A protected settlement cannot be created after 6 April 1999 but if a protected settlement does become tainted it will lose its protection.

CAPI18000 - Control procedures on the importation of poultry meat, eggs and egg albumin
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-24)


This manual will be archived on 15 December 2025. If there is content within this manual you use regularly, email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know.

Regulation 1484/95 introduces a system of safeguard charges to protect EU producers from imports of cheap poultry meat from non-EU countries. The charges are to ensure that importers pay a price comparable to those of the EU internal market. They do not apply to imports under the quotas referred to in EC Regulations 1385/2007 and 593/2004.

Within certain Member States the system has been found to be the subject of manipulation in order to evade payment of these charges. These have included:
- incorrect declarations/carriage, insurance and freight (CIF), false invoices/ documents to artificially inflate values - the main risk area is where the trader inflates the CIF value and, for the purpose of this Regulation, the Commission have clarified CIF as equating to the FOB price in the Country of Origin, plus the transport and insurance costs up to the point of introduction to the EU
- misclassification under CN code 0210 (salted chicken) - in order to qualify for this CN code, the salt content must be 5% throughout the product. In reality such a high salt content would render the product as virtually inedible and any product declared under this heading should receive close attention, as misclassification is likely, and
- misclassification under CN code xx-xxxx-xxxx.
Detailed guidance on the examination and sampling of poultry meat may be found in the Poultry Meat Safeguard Charges and Examination and Sampling Good Practice Guides, accessed via the CAP UoE Intranet site.

EM6412 - Contract Settlement: Post Settlement Issues - Reopening a Settlement: Introduction
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-15)


The guidance about contract settlements at EM6000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/enquiry-manual/em6000)+ only relates to direct tax. You must never include VAT or VAT penalties in a contract settlement.

Both you and the taxpayer (or their agent) will have considered carefully
- the liabilities which made up the settlement, and
- the ability of the taxpayer to meet the obligations arising from it.
Once a contract settlement is formed, any subsequent problems should relate to recovery and you should not usually be involved.

Debt Management have limited discretion to deal with temporary problems, such as a customer who needs to defer a couple of instalments of an instalment settlement but will eventually revert fully to the terms of the agreement.

You may become involved if
- an adjustment becomes necessary to the figures included in the settlement, see EM6413 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/enquiry-manual/em6413)
- the customer wishes to clear all or part of the outstanding liability of an instalment arrangement, see EM6414 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/enquiry-manual/em6414)
- the customer is unable to meet their commitments and it is appropriate to re-negotiate the settlement, see EM6418 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/enquiry-manual/em6418).

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 Cleveland Fire Brigade 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 Cleveland Fire Brigade 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.
