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 (YGAM) Young Gamers & Gamblers Education Trust 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 (YGAM) Young Gamers & Gamblers Education Trust 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
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.

STI Prioritisation Framework
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-28)

An evidence-based framework to inform local prioritisation decisions for sexually transmitted infection (STI) control.

The STI Prioritisation Framework provides an evidence-based and structured approach to local prioritisation for organisations with responsibility for planning and delivery of sexual health services.

STIs impact different groups in society unequally. Some STIs cause more health problems in certain groups compared to others, whilst some groups face greater barriers to accessing sexual health services. The framework shifts the focus of STI control efforts towards preventing adverse health outcomes and reducing health inequalities.

To inform prioritisation, the documents set out available evidence and outline a three-pronged approach that can be applied locally, considering S (situation), T (target groups) and I (interventions):
- Situation: assess the needs of the local population and the demand and supply of services
- Target groups: consider local population groups and infections for prioritisation
- Intervention: identify, tailor, implement and evaluate the most appropriate intervention for each target group
Three accompanying videos have been produced with different levels of detail to support the implementation of the framework:
- bitesize overview of the STI Prioritisation Framework (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVTf_9qQ62E)
- high-level walk through of the STI Prioritisation Framework (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcMa7KcbVWs)

How duty is charged on goods exported for process
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-30)

Information on how duty is charged on goods exported for process.

If the process is anything other than repair by any person free of charge the re-imported goods are to be regarded as chargeable goods. The value of the goods for duty is to be reduced to take account of so much of the value as can be attributed to the goods as they stood before being exported.

To apply this method, exporters must:
- calculate the customs value of the imported products using one of the valuation methods. (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/working-out-the-customs-value-of-your-imported-goods#methods-1-to-6)
- deduct from this the value of the exported goods used in the manufacture of the processed products, applying the agreed rate of yield as appropriate
- account for duty on the difference between the 2 values, at the rate which applies to the imported processed products
Under Union Customs Code (in Northern Ireland), for a processed product duty is calculated on the added value. Duty is charged on the costs of processing the exported goods and transporting the processed products back to the UK. The duty rate applicable is the rate which applies to the processed products. Import VAT is due on the price charged for the process plus freight to and from the processor’s premises plus duty, providing ownership of the goods was not transferred to any other person during the time the goods were outside the UK.

Joint statement by the Foreign Ministers of France, Germany, the UK and the High Representative of the EU on escalation of tensions in the Middle East

The Ministers of Foreign Affairs of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, together with the High Representative of the European Union, met with their Iranian counterpart in Geneva on Friday, 20 June 2025.

They shared their grave concerns with regard to the escalation of tensions in the Middle East and reiterated their firm commitment to Israel’s security. They expressed their view that all sides should refrain from taking steps which lead to further escalation in the region, and urgently find a negotiated solution to ensure that Iran never obtains or acquires a nuclear weapon.

E3 Ministers and the High Representative of the European Union reiterated their longstanding concerns about Iran’s expansion of its nuclear programme, which has no credible civilian purpose, in violation of almost all JCPoA provisions. They discussed avenues towards a negotiated solution to Iran’s nuclear programme, while emphasising the urgency of the matter.

They expressed their willingness to continue discussing all questions relevant to Iran’s nuclear programme and broader issues.

They expressed full support for the Director General of the IAEA and encouraged Iran to fully cooperate with the Agency in line with its legally binding commitments, and in light of the IAEA’s last report on the implementation of safeguards obligations in Iran.

They shared their support for discussions to continue and welcomed ongoing US efforts to seek a negotiated solution. They expressed their willingness to meet again in the future.

Conflict, Stability and Security Fund: annual review summaries for the Western Balkans 2023 to 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-30)

This page provides 2023 to 2024 annual review summaries for the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programmes in the Western Balkans.

All Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programmes are reviewed carefully each year. These reviews assess:
- technical and programme management standards including financial and risk management, value for money, conflict and gender sensitivity
- contextual factors such as changes to the political environment
- the outputs and outcomes during the year
Lessons learned are also identified.

An expert team conducts these reviews and include at least one team member who is independent from the programme. The team assesses at 2 levels: output (the direct result of programme activities) and outcome (the changes that these outputs deliver). Assessment scores are on a scale of 4, where outputs or outcomes meet or exceed expectations, to 1, where most targets were not met.

The CSSF team aims to publish information for all programmes. However, because some of the CSSF’s work is very sensitive, we cannot publish details of all programmes. The 2 main reasons for this are:
- to protect national security
- for the safety and security of beneficiaries, partners and partner governments

Smart Secure Electricity Systems (SSES) Programme: first phase energy smart appliances regulations
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-01)

We're seeking feedback on the SSES Programme’s draft Phase 1 energy smart appliances regulations and impact assessment.

The Smart Secure Electricity Systems (SSES) Programme is designed to create the technical and regulatory frameworks to enable the untapped flexibility from small scale devices, such as domestic electric vehicle charge points and heat pumps.

It should contribute to electricity system decarbonisation in a way that protects consumers and the electricity system, and as such is a key enabler for consumer-led flexibility that will help consumers make energy bill savings.

To provide a regulatory foundation for the growth of the energy smart appliance (ESA) market and protect the interests of consumers, we plan to introduce regulations on ESAs. These regulations will:
- establish a smart mandate for electric heating products in scope
- incorporate, with some planned amendments, The Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021
- implement a set of minimum requirements in relation to smart functionality, cybersecurity and grid stability for ESAs in scope
We are consulting on draft first phase ESA regulations and the accompanying Initial Impact Assessment.

The consultation is open to anyone to respond, but it will primarily be of interest to:
- energy and technology companies
- energy smart appliance manufacturers and importers, and trade bodies
- flexibility service providers and load controllers
- consumer and environmental groups
- innovators, and third-party intermediaries in energy
Read our consultation privacy notice (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/desnz-consultations-privacy-notice/privacy-notice-relating-to-consultation-responses-received-by-desnz).

This consultation is part of a series from the SSES Programme including:
- a consultation on proposals for Tariff Interoperability (https://recportal.co.uk/en/b/tariff-interoperability-consultation) that will introduce an obligation on electricity suppliers to make pricing data available in a standardised format - closes to responses on 20 January 2026
- forthcoming consultations from government on proposals for draft load control licence regulations and licence conditions, and from Ofgem on licence implementation - with responses due in February
- a government response to a consultation (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/smart-secure-electricity-systems-programme-sses-enduring-governance) on the proposals for industry-led SSES enduring governance

Upper Tribunal Administrative Appeals Chamber decision by Judge Church on 18 August 2025.

Read the full decision in UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-USTA UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-USTA UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-ULCW (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/68baece8cc8356c3c882ab64/UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-USTA_UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-USTA_UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-ULCW.pdf).

Judicial Summary

The Upper Tribunal allowed the claimant’s appeals because the First-tier Tribunal erred in law in treating the claimant’s withdrawals from his self-invested personal pension as “income” for the purposes of Regulation 46(3) of the Universal Credit Regulations 2013.

The withdrawals were not characterised by the operation of any definite principle. They were not “steady” or “uniform”, and they were not repeated at “fixed times” or at “uniform intervals”. It was not, therefore, open to the First-tier Tribunal to conclude that the payments were “regular” and “by reference to a period”, falling to be treated as “income” under Regulation 46(3).

The Upper Tribunal set aside and remade the decisions.

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 R5 Executive Travel 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 R5 Executive Travel 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
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
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.

Ancillary Activities Exemption – Draft Legislation
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-03)

The government is publishing a draft of the statutory instrument amending the UK’s Ancillary Activities Exemption.

The Ancillary Activities Exemption (AAE) allows firms to trade in commodity derivatives and emissions allowances without having to be authorised as an investment firm by the FCA. To assess whether they are eligible for the AAE, firms need to perform the Ancillary Activities Test. As part of the Wholesale Markets Review, the Treasury committed to revoking the existing ancillary activities test and replacing it with a new, simplified version. This instrument will provide the FCA with the necessary powers to put in place a replacement test, tailored to the UK’s markets.

This near-final draft statutory instrument, along with an accompanying explanatory policy note, sets out how the government plans to deliver on this commitment. The government invites any technical comments by 28 August 2025 and can be contacted at xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).
