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 Leeds Rugby 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 Leeds Rugby 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
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed 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.

Review of technical guidance for crematoriums
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-04)

Seeking views on updated guidance for the limiting of emissions from crematoriums.

A review of guidance was carried out to identify the most effective technologies and processes for limiting and monitoring emissions to air from crematoriums. The information collected was used to update the related guidance.

We want to know what you think about the technical details and requirements in the proposed new guidance.

The main change in the guidance is to extend mercury abatement technology to all crematoriums. This technology will help reduce the emission of substances that can have a harmful impact on the human body and natural environment.

These substances include:
- mercury
- particulate matter (PM)
- acid gases (HCI)
- dioxins and furans
- nitrogen oxides (NOx)
- particulate matter
The new guidance will also incorporate other elements to help reduce emissions, including mandatory monitoring of NOx and carbon emissions and future emissions limit values (ELV).

The review and update process was carried out in collaboration with:
- the UK government
- the Scottish Government
- the Welsh Government
- the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland
- representatives from the cremation industry and regulators

If a repairer decides that repair of faulty goods is not practical, or replacements are provided under a warranty agreement, the Standard Exchange System (SES) may be used to import the replacement goods. Authorisation can be granted for:
- Standard Exchange System (SES) without prior importation.
- SES with prior importation.
Replacement goods must fall within the same tariff sub heading (the 8 digit code), and must be equivalent to the exported goods. That is, they must be of the same commercial quality, and have the same technical characteristics as the exported goods would have had if they had been repaired.

If the goods have been used before exportation, then the replacements must also be used goods and may not be new products. However, this condition does not apply if the replacement has been supplied free of charge under a warranty or guarantee.

SES may not be used for UKAP goods as, by their nature, agricultural goods are not capable of being repaired.

Millions of pensioners to receive Winter Fuel Payments from today
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-12)

Nine million pensioners are to benefit from vital support for energy costs during the colder months as Winter Fuel Payments start hitting bank accounts from today.

Nine million pensioners will benefit from Winter Fuel Payments from today

Payments will be made automatically from now until the end of December

DWP warns of surge in Winter Fuel Payment scams

Pensioners across England and Wales will receive between £100 and £300, with payments being made automatically throughout November and December. The amount pensioners are paid will be dependent on whether they live as a couple, if they are entitled to other benefits and whether or not they live in a care home.

It comes as the Department warns of a 150 percent surge in Winter Fuel Payment scam activity. These scams see fraudsters pose as Government officials or payment providers in an attempt to trick people into sharing their personal information.

As payments begin, pensioners are being urged to continue to look out for these scam messages and remember that they will never be asked to provide bank details to receive the payment. Anyone who receives a text message inviting them to apply for a payment should not engage with it, including clicking on links, and instead forward it to 7726.

Minister for Pensions Torsten Bell said:

From today, nine million pensioners across England and Wales will benefit from the Winter Fuel Payment hitting their bank account.

Payments are being made automatically throughout November and December, so don’t worry if yours hasn’t arrived yet. But do remember to stay alert to scam texts, the Government will never ask you to share personal information or click on links to claim your payment.

The vast majority of pensioners should see this payment in their bank account by mid-December. If any pensioner has questions on whether they are eligible or has not received a payment by 28 January 2026, they are encouraged to contact the Winter Fuel Payment Centre on xx-xxxx-xxxx.

We’re committed to supporting pensioners with the cost of living, ensuring they can retire with the dignity and financial security they deserve. The payments sit alongside the Government’s commitment to the Triple Lock, which means millions of pensioners are set to see their State Pension rise by up to £1,900 over the course of this Parliament.

Pensioners on low incomes can also apply for further support this winter through Pension Credit – worth around £4,300 on average a year – while those with care needs can apply for Attendance Allowance, worth up to £5,740 a year in some cases, and we will continue to urge anyone who thinks they are eligible to apply.

Additional information:

The payment reference pensioners receive will begin with the recipient’s National Insurance number followed by ‘DWP WFP’, helping people to identify it safely.

If pensioners with an income of over £35,000 received the Winter Fuel Payment, they may need to repay it later – either automatically through their tax code from April 2026 or their tax return for 2025/26. They do not need to do anything - HMRC will be in touch.

SAM110040 - Repayments: issue repayment: cancellation of a repayment
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-13)


Cancelling a repayment on the SA record does not necessarily stop the repayment from being issued. Before cancelling a repayment on the record you must first confirm at what stage the repayment is at within the repayment process.Where the status of the repayment is shown as 'Draft', 'Selected' or 'Authorised', the repayment can be cancelled because it has not yet been transmitted to the SA Repayment System (Repayment Clump) for issue.Where the status of a repayment is shown as 'Transmitted' or 'Issued', you must not cancel the repayment on the SA record because at this stage it is too late to recall the repayment.Payable OrdersWhere a repayment has been made by payable order and the status of the repayment is shown as 'Issued', follow guidance at Cancelling a Payable Order/Repayment.If the payable order has been cashed, you must not cancel the repayment on the SA record. Any over-repayment must be recovered from the taxpayer by amending the return or by using the DRIER procedures, whichever is appropriate.Cancelling the repaymentOnly certain user roles have access to the relevant function to cancel a repayment depending on the status of the repayment and these are as follows

This collection brings together documents relating to monthly workforce management information.

The monthly workforce management information covers payroll and non-payroll staffing numbers and payroll costs for the Department for Education. The staffing numbers are as at the end of the month while the payroll costs are for the entire month, so they may not correlate.
- These figures are not official statistics. They are internal workforce management information published in the interests of transparency.
- These figures have not been reconciled centrally with any national statistics. Where differences appear between the monthly information and national statistics, clarifying comments are provided.
- The Office for National Statistics’ quarterly public sector employment survey continues to provide an official headline measure for comparing the overall size of employment in central government organisations with other sectors of the economy at the relevant quarterly reference point.
- Given the wide range of organisations covered, caution should be exercised when drawing inferences from the figures, and care should be taken when making comparisons between organisations. Users of this management information should refer to any additional commentary and notes, where these are provided.

EM6007 - Contract Settlements: Interest: Basis of Calculation
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-25)


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.

Interest should be calculated as though the correct liabilities had been assessed and finalised.

Unless all the tax and NIC have been paid on account, you will have to estimate the likely date of payment when calculating the interest, for example within 30 days of the date of the letter of acceptance. Any delay in settlement will normally necessitate a revision of the interest figure.

You should calculate interest using the calculator in SEES. To access the calculator, go to Full Tax Calcs + Settlements / Enquiry Settlements Tax and Interest Calculator.

Payments on Account

Interest is chargeable on a specific amount of tax or NIC from the due and payable date to the date of payment. However, it is usually convenient to calculate the interest as if nothing had been paid on account and then deduct a ‘credit’ by reference to the amount paid.

This method produces the correct answer where
- the payment does not exceed the interest-bearing tax and NIC, and
- where none of the tax or NIC which it covers has a relevant date after the payment was made.
If either of these factors is really significant you should make a more precise calculation, assessment by assessment, allocating the payment(s) on account against the interest-bearing liabilities in chronological order.

During a compliance check, the customer may make a payment on account against a discovery assessment which exceeds the ultimate liability on that assessment. Sometimes, also, a general payment on account is mistakenly credited to an assessment or SA statement with the result that, strictly, repayment becomes due. In such cases, the ‘excess’ payment is to be treated for interest purposes as having been paid on account against other interest-bearing liabilities, thus giving the customer a greater measure of relief than would a repayment supplement calculation. SAM/COM explains how to reallocate a payment.

SPE14400 - Specific rules and processes relating to Outward Processing: rate of yield – introduction

Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/services-information).

The rate of yield is the quantity of compensating product produced from a given quantity of exported goods. It is used to calculate the amount of duty relief you can claim when you import your compensating products.

The expected rate of yield (or the method by which it is to be calculated) must be specified in the application for OP. It must be expressed clearly, for example 1 for 1, or 1 dress per 3 metres. The rate of yield must not be expressed as a percentage, as wastage in production is included in the calculation of the quantity of exported goods used.

If the import involves several different types of product or the products imported are made up from several different types of goods, it will help to clear the goods quickly, and possibly more cheaply, if a costed list or 'bill of materials' is provided for each product. The bill of materials should show the quantity of each type of exported goods used to produce one unit of each type of compensating product. This will make it simpler for the agent and customs to calculate the amount of duty relief available, and will also allow customs audit staff to check the OP records more quickly and accurately.

In cases where the rate of yield is not known at the time of application or the rate may vary, the application should be noted to say that the trader intends to use production records as the basis for establishing it. If the rate of yield on the application/authorisation form changes or is incorrect, the supervising office must be informed immediately.

Management information to understand how far rough sleeping is prevented wherever possible, and where it does occur, if it is rare, brief, and non-recurring.

In May 2023, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government launched a new framework with a new set of metrics to better understand how far rough sleeping is prevented wherever possible, and where it does occur, if it is rare, brief, and non-recurring.

This was developed with Centre for Homelessness Impact (https://www.homelessnessimpact.org/) and 5 pilot areas (London, Greater Manchester, Newcastle, West Midlands and Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole).

This is the seventh quarterly publication and covers monthly information up to June 2025. The information in the release is management information not official statistics.
