Renewable Energy Planning Database: quarterly extract
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-19)

A quarterly extract of the results of the renewable energy projects monitoring work.

The Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD) tracks the progress of UK renewable electricity projects over 150kW through the planning system. It provides as accurate and comprehensive a snapshot as possible of projects, and of progress across the technology sectors, through the following stages:
- inception
- planning
- construction
- operation
- decommissioning
The database is updated during the month following the end of each quarter.

Please note: the minimum threshold for installed capacity was 1MW until 2021, at which point it was lowered to 150kW. This means that projects below 1MW that were going through planning system before 2021 may not be represented in the REPD.

CTM15210 - Distributions: general: preference share lending
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-24)


Distribution income received by a company is not liable to CT. Accordingly such income is more attractive to an investing company than assessable income. That company will therefore seek to receive its income as distribution income if it has a choice. A situation where this might arise is where a borrowing company has no taxable profits; it might have the same borrowing cost whether it paid loan interest as interest or in the form of a distribution. If the borrower were to co-operate with the investing company in order to provide non-taxable distribution income, it would expect to benefit by way of lower finance costs.

One way in which loan interest can effectively be converted to a distribution by way of a dividend is for the loan to take the form of a subscription for fixed- or variable-rate preference share capital in the borrowing company. That company then pays a dividend rather than interest.

A CT608 payment reminder and payslip is issued as a customer service to the Nominated Company one to two months before each anticipated instalment falls due. From June 2025 this form will no longer be issued. No payment reminders are sent to the other participating companies. The Nominated Company must determine how much and when to pay.

The Nominated Company can use the CT Online service to view its payments and details of each Group Payment Period (GPP) for which it is the Nominated Company.

No payment applications are issued to participating companies and no recovery action is taken before the GPP is cleared. Once the nominated company’s payments have been apportioned to the participating companies, recovery action commences against the individual participating companies where appropriate.

Companies whose tax is paid through a Group Payment Arrangement must indicate this by putting an X in box 635 on version 3 (box 96 on version 2) of the CT600 Company Tax Return form.

Once the GPP has been cleared or closed, adjustments made to the liability of an individual participating company, for example, in respect of interest or penalties or as a result of an enquiry into the company’s return, are the responsibility of the individual company, not the Nominated Company.

The HMRC office dealing with the general partner should normally also take responsibility for the investment partnership. That office should ensure issue of the partnership return.

Any enquiry into the partnership return should be undertaken with a view to confirming the partnership’s taxable profit or allowable loss for each relevant class of income and the allocation of those amounts among the partners in accordance with the partnership agreement. In making those calculations the rules set out at CTM36510 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm36510)to CTM36540 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm36540) will apply.

Any claim by a partner for a deduction of any kind from their share of the gross income of the partnership should be examined under the normal rules for that type of receipt. The deduction most commonly claimed will be management expenses. When the BVCA guidelines, see CTM36580 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm36580), were issued it was believed that only the general partner would be entitled to these. But it is now accepted that limited partners are entitled to relief for their share of the partnership’s management expenses provided the limited partner carries on an investment business within CTA09/S1218.

Russia has acted to obfuscate and embolden the DPRK’s unlawful pursuit of weapons of mass destruction: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-07)

Statement by Ambassador James Kariuki, UK Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on North Korea.

Analysis from organisations like the Open Source Centre has become even more vital in the wake of the expertise gap left by the 1718 Panel of Experts.

One year on, the UK deeply regrets Russia’s decision to veto the mandate renewal of the 1718 Panel of Experts.

This was a deliberate act used to obfuscate and embolden the DPRK’s unlawful pursuit of weapons of mass destruction, and to conceal Russia’s own erosion of the UN sanctions architecture, which it has a responsibility to uphold as a permanent member of this Council.

The Panel’s credible, objective and independent reporting enabled this Council and the international community to effectively monitor the implementation of UN sanctions on the DPRK.

Most importantly, the Panel helped prevent the DPRK’s unlawful and dangerous development of nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.

Since Russia’s veto last year, there have been over 40 missile tests, including one intercontinental ballistic missile test and one intermediate-range ballistic missile test.

This escalation represents multiple breaches of UN Security Council resolutions, for which we have been deprived of further analysis.

Colleagues, it is obvious that Russia’s objective was to clear the path for the expansion of their military relationship with the DPRK.

The DPRK is believed to have supplied 20,000 containers of munitions to Russia, and its artillery and mortar shells account for 60% of those used in Russia’s brutal war of aggression against Ukraine.

And as we’ve heard, in the past week, Russia and the DPRK publicly flaunted their agreement to use DPRK troops as mere cannon fodder in that war.

Let me be clear, we cannot allow this brazen disregard towards UN sanctions to become normalised.

The UK will continue to work closely with partners to monitor sanctions evasion, to hold both Russia and the DPRK to account, and to call out those complicit in the DPRK’s violations of UN Security Council resolutions.

As we have heard over the course of the NPT Prepcom, this Council should stand firm in its defence of the global non-proliferation regime.

The UK remains steadfast with partners in our shared goal for the DPRK to abandon all nuclear weapons, other weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner.

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 EODEX UK 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;

Failed Covid contracts cost British taxpayer £1.4 billion

New report commissioned by Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, reveals multibillion price British taxpayers paid for reckless handling of Covid contracts

- New report commissioned by Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, reveals £multibillion price British taxpayers paid for reckless handling of Covid contracts
- Previous government failure to test defective PPE leaves millions of taxpayer pounds unrecoverable
- It comes as Reeves drives work to recover £468 million for communities and public services, underlining commitment to investigate and account for every penny spent during the pandemic under the Plan for Change
Failed pandemic-era PPE contracts cost the British taxpayer £1.4 billion, as an interim report commissioned by Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, lays bare the scale of the scandal.

The Covid Counter Fraud Commissioner’s report reveals the price the British public has paid for undelivered contracts which saw taxpayer cash squandered on unusable PPE.

The last government’s over-ordering of PPE, and delays in checking it, mean that £762 million is unlikely to ever be recovered. These failures saw substandard PPE – gowns, masks and visors - not inspected for two years, meaning public money could no longer be recouped.

Now Reeves is going further and faster to recover the £468 million that could still be recovered from suppliers – money which the government will put back into communities and public services including the NHS, police and armed forces.

Recovery action has so far resulted in £182 million being returned to the public purse, and PPE suppliers referred to the National Crime Agency for suspected fraud.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves said:

The country is still paying the price for the reckless handling of Covid contracts which saw taxpayer pounds wasted and criminals profit from the pandemic.

This investigation and plan to recover public money underlines our commitment to ensure that every penny spent during the pandemic is fully accounted for.

We have always been clear that money poorly spent or fraudulently claimed belongs to the British people. This Government will bring criminals to justice and put taxpayer’s money back where it belongs – in the NHS, police and armed forces.

Most of the wasted money went on surgical gowns. Over half (52%) were non-compliant, but because much of the defective PPE was not quality tested until after warranties had expired, there is little chance of recovering the money.

This interim report marks the end of Phase one of Commissioner Tom Hayhoe’s investigation– scrutinising PPE contracts. The Commissioner has now begun work on Phase two, which will see him investigating fraud and error in other pandemic spending programmes such as furlough, bounce-back loans, Business Support Grants and Eat Out to Help Out.

The Commissioner will provide a full update in a final report to the Chancellor at the conclusion of his term in December 2025.

Belfast 2024’s Creative Citizens programme.

In 2020 Belfast City Council published a co-designed 10 year cultural strategy, A City Imagining, to develop “a people-focused approach to cultural development by facilitating citizen, community and creative, cultural and heritage sector participation”. In the strategy were plans for a culture event, Belfast 2024 - a year-long “accelerator” project designed to implement the values of the strategy, directly engage communities within the strategy, and galvanise momentum for creativity as a force for city and regional development.

Participatory budgeting

Central to Belfast 2024 was the Creative Citizens programme, an extensive and ongoing public engagement to not only co-design the year long programme, themes and activities, but to really empower citizens and communities. Through a participatory budgeting approach called The Bank of Ideas, citizens directly decided on the allocation of a budget, proposing and collectively choosing creative projects for the city. As well as handing over decision-making power, the aim of the scheme was to reduce barriers to accessing funding so that a greater range of citizens, community groups and other organisations could participate.

Projects supporting citizens

At the first iteration of the scheme in 2024, 93 ideas were presented to the public at a voting day in City Hall, with over 2000 voters deciding what to take forward. As a result, 28 projects organised by community groups, voluntary organisations and small creative practices took place in communities and neighbourhoods right across Belfast.

Projects included a diversity carnival, a touring library, a multi-sensory interactive theatre for children with disability, and biodiversity projects that used creativity as a tool for community education. These projects supported citizens and marginalised groups to become more connected to local communities.

Outcomes

The approach taken by the city, creating the conditions for active participation in society through listening, responding and empowering local communities, has been recognised locally and internationally; winning the NILocal Government Awards Engaging Community Award in 2025 and recognised by United Cities Local Governments international jury as best practice of the UN Agenda 21 for Culture.

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 CWM Aggregates 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 CWM Aggregates 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 Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
We also pledge the following:

Seeking to support the employment of veterans young and old and working the Career Transition Partnership (CTP), in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for Service Leavers

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.

Grave of missing World War One soldier identified in France
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-15)

More than a century after his death, the previously unmarked grave of Serjeant (Sjt) Robert Sutherland has finally been identified and marked.

The rededication service organised by the MOD’s Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre (JCCC), also known as the ‘War Detectives’, was held at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s (CWGC’s) Highland Cemetery, Roclincourt on 9 July 2025.

The military party and Sjt Sutherland's family at his graveside. Crown Copyright.

Born in Brora, Scotland, Robert joined the territorial army in December 1908 and was mobilised immediately when World War One began in August 1914. As part of the Seaforth Highlanders’ 152nd Brigade, he fought in several major battles including Festubert, Givenchy, High Wood and the Ancre.

He died on the first day of the Battle of Arras (9 April 1917) and was buried in Highland Cemetery at Roclincourt. Though unidentified at burial, recent research confirms he is the only missing Serjeant of the 6th Bn Seaforth Highlanders lost in this area at that time, identifying him as the unknown Serjeant buried there.

His Commanding Officer later praised him in the Northern Times as ‘an excellent soldier who died gallantly’, and ‘one of the best Non-Commissioned Officers in the Battalion’.

Alexia Clark, JCCC Caseworker, said:

I am grateful to the researcher who originally submitted evidence suggesting the location of the grave of Sjt Sutherland. In rededicating his grave we have reunited his mortal remains with his names, in the presence of his family, ensuring that his sacrifice will not be forgotten.

The headstone was replaced by CWGC and will be cared for in perpetuity.

Dr James Wallis, Head of Commemorations Casework at the CWGC, said:

The identification case for Serjeant Robert Sutherland, submitted by one of our regular researchers, was a privilege to investigate. With his name now engraved on a headstone that features a poignant tribute from his family, our gathering today allows for the rededication of his grave, and for us to remember the sacrifice he made alongside his comrades who lost their lives on the first day of the Battle of Arras.
UK trade in goods by business characteristics
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-27)

UK trade in goods by business characteristics data shows details of international trade in goods by industry group, age group, business size, and business location.

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has linked the UK overseas trade in goods statistics (OTS) with business statistics from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR). This provides statistics on the attributes of UK businesses with overseas trade in goods. Attributes are by industry group, age group, and business size (number of employees). Within each of these categories, the focus is on trade value, business counts, and employee counts. These data form the ‘UK trade in goods by business characteristics’ series.

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has also linked the OTS and IDBR data with the ONS National Statistics Postcode Lookup (NSPL) and International Territorial Level (ITL) lookup. This provides statistics on the specific locations of UK businesses with overseas trade in goods. Attributes are by ITL Level 3. The focus is on counts of physical premises at these locations and counts of employees that work in them. These data form the ‘Local sites and numbers of employees linked to businesses involved in international trade in goods, by subnational areas of the UK’ series.

This is a collection of all UK trade in goods statistics by business characteristics on GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/). These are official statistics. Releases prior to the 2023 release were ‘official statistics in development’, previously called ‘experimental statistics’. Information on types of official statistics is available on the UK Statistics Authority (https://uksa.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/about-the-authority/uk-statistical-system/types-of-official-statistics/) website.
