CH228280 - How to do a compliance check: information powers: excise information notice: persons on whom a notice can be served
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-05)


This page and chapter are under review as the relevant content is also published in the guidance chapters of the Compliance Handbook (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook), within Compliance checks factsheets (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hm-revenue-and-customs-compliance-checks-factsheets) and in Compliance checks guidance (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hmrc-compliance-checks-help-and-support). If you use particular pages regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know the specific content you find useful.

Section 118BA, CEMA79 gives you the power to serve a notice on any person requiring them to provide documents that you reasonably require for the purpose of protecting, securing, collecting or managing excise duties.

‘Person’ has a wide meaning, see CH21580 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch21580) for a full list.

In practice, you should not use s118BA to get information and documents from a revenue trader whose identity you know, instead you should use s118B powers.

Example 1

You can issue an excise information notice under s118BA to Cemantic Transport Ltd, a company that leases vehicles, for information about who is renting certain vehicles, where the lessees are suspected of being involved in the movement of excise goods.

However, if Cemantic itself carries excise goods then it is a revenue trader and you would use powers under s118B to get the information you require. You would not issue an excise information notice under s118BA.

Example 2

You want information from The Bank of Freedonia about finance provided to a revenue trader.

The Bank is itself a revenue trader because it provides funds to someone involved in the trade of revenue goods.

You may consider that in this case the power under s118B is open to challenge and that a tribunal-approved notice, where the Bank has an opportunity to make representations, is required. You should consult the specialist technical team (This content has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000) before you take any action to issue a notice under s118BA in these circumstances.
Introducing new medicines in the NHS in the UK
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-23)

A pathway summarising the processes pharmaceutical companies should follow when preparing to launch new products in the UK.

The pathway covers the regulatory and access route for companies wishing to introduce new medicines to the NHS. The process includes:
- companies notifying the health and care system of their products through UK Pharmascan
- the advisory services that are available to companies
- marketing authorisation and health technology evaluation processes
The pathway does not include clinical trial stages or the NHS use of medicines after health technology evaluation.

The primary audience for the pathway is expected to be pharmaceutical companies preparing to launch their products in the UK, but it will also be of value to other stakeholders, such as patient organisations and clinicians.

The pathway will be kept under review on an ongoing basis to reflect changes to the regulatory and access pathways.

Environment Agency regulatory position on installing small-scale equipment for monitoring in a river and for associated equipment such as instrument cabinets located alongside.

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to obtain and comply with an environmental permit for the flood risk activity of physically installing small-scale monitoring equipment in or near a statutory main river.

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in the RPS.

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 SAS Rope and Rail 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 SAS Rope and Rail 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:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- Armed Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
We also pledge the following:

Commercial: SAS Rope and Rail will ensure that the Armed Forces Community has access to our services and is not disadvantaged by their service

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.

Legal Metrology: standards calibration
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-14)

Information on mass, length and volume calibration for local authorities.

Our service

The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) provides a statutory calibration service under the Weights and Measures Act 1985 on behalf of the Secretary of State, checking the accuracy of the mass, length and volume standards held by local authorities.

Mass calibration

We can perform mass calibration to OIML R111. The accuracy of our comprehensive service is specified in the following table. We calibrate mass standards of up to 1 tonne – in stainless steel or other materials such as cast iron – to your own specification if required. OPSS holds UKAS accreditation for 1 mg to 50 kg.

Length calibration

We can perform length calibration on benches equipped with laser interferometers and custom-built track and carriage systems. Flexible line standards of up to 50 metres can be calibrated with uncertainties of (10 + 0.6 L) micrometres, a level of accuracy amongst the best in the world. (Longer lengths can be measured using multiples of 50 metres.) Rigid line standards of up to 2.3 metres can be calibrated with uncertainties of (1 + 1 L) micrometres. We can supply a wide range of length standards from a variety of manufacturers.

Volume calibration

We can perform gravimetric volume calibration (inferring volume from the weight of liquid discharged or contained) over a range of 1 ml to 20 litres for glassware and 1 litre to 500 litres for metal measures, with a best measurement capability of 0.008% of volume. For larger vessels we offer an on-site service. We can also calibrate volumetrically (using the transfer of liquid from a delivery vessel).

Trade union statistics
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-22)

This series brings together all documents relating to trade union statistics.

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is responsible, with the Office for National Statistics (ONS), for publishing the annual statistics on trade union membership.

These statistics are primarily produced from the Labour Force Survey (LFS). Therefore, they have been re-accredited as Official Statistics in Development (https://osr.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/policies/official-statistics-policies/official-statistics-in-development/).

This is in line with the ONS headline labour market statistics from the LFS. This is because reduced achieved sample sizes for the LFS, particularly in the second half of 2023, have led to more volatile estimates.

The statistics present estimates for:
- the proportion of employees, and people in employment, who are trade union members in both the UK and Great Britain
- employee jobs where pay is set with reference to a collective agreement
We also provide trade union densities by:
- age
- sex
- ethnicity
- income
- full and part-time employment
- sector
- nation
- region
Statistical release timetable

This is an annual publication. Its timing is predetermined and pre-announced in accordance with the arrangements for releasing Official Statistics and National Statistics.

Information on National Statistics, the labour market, and relevant data can be obtained from the ONS website (http://www.ons.gov.uk/).

Publications from before 2010

Earlier trade union membership publications are available from The National Archives (https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20110120022101/http://bis.gov.uk/policies/employment-matters/research/trade-union-stats).

AAIB Report: Mini Nimbus C, G-CFHG
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-19)

Fatal accident involving a Mini Nimbus C (G-CFHG), Barlavington, Sussex, 5 June 2024

The pilot took off with the intention to conduct an endurance flight lasting five hours. In the early stages of the flight the pilot successfully gained height in two separate thermals. After approximately 30 minutes of flying, the pilot turned 180° to track back towards the airfield. Without any further significant height gains, the glider eventually descended through the height at which BGA guidance suggests a field landing should be initiated. The glider’s flightpath suggests the pilot did not intend to commit to a landing and at low level an apparent attempt was made to gain height in a thermal. The glider gained a small amount of additional height, but during this manoeuvre two loss of control events occurred, both consistent with a stall and wing drop. The pilot appeared to recover controlled flight during both incidents but lost height and following the second recovery, the glider came into contact with the tops of trees. This resulted in significant damage to the glider, and it struck the ground causing fatal injuries to the pilot. The pilot was appropriately trained, experienced and qualified to conduct the flight and the weather was suitable, although described as challenging by other pilots who flew that day. Whilst not considered to be causal, a contributory medical factor could not be excluded. It was not possible to determine why the pilot elected not to follow the relevant training to conduct a field landing at the appropriate opportunity.

Support for Ukraine is unwavering as UK announces new sanctions on Russian oil giants
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-10)

The UK strikes a fresh blow against Putin's ability to finance the war in Ukraine by sanctioning 2 major Russian oil companies.

For the first time, the UK and the US are directly sanctioning Gazprom Neft and PJSC Surgutneftegas, 2 Russian oil giants. These energy companies produce over 1 million barrels of oil per day between them – worth roughly $23 billion a year at current prices, more than the GDP of Jamaica. The profits from these 2 companies are lining Putin’s war chest and facilitating the war.

Keeping the country safe is this government’s first priority and is an integral part of the Prime Minister’s Plan for Change (https://www.gov.uk/missions). Every blow we strike against Russia’s oil revenues is another step towards a just and sustainable peace in Ukraine, and a step towards security and prosperity in the UK and beyond.

Today’s action will clamp down on Putin’s flow of revenues. Revenues from oil are vital to Russia’s war economy, making up roughly a quarter of Russia’s entire budget in 2023. By sanctioning these companies, Russia’s ability to generate revenues from energy sales is expected to be significantly curtailed.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy said:

Oil revenues are the lifeblood of Putin’s war economy. We will not stand by and let oil profits endanger the lives of Ukrainians – nor will we let Russia keep filling its coffers as it continues to threaten our collective security.

Taking on Russian oil companies will drain Russia’s war chest – and every ruble we take from Putin’s hands helps save Ukrainian lives.

That’s why I have made it my personal mission to constrain the Kremlin and those companies propping it up, for the good of our democracy and shared security.

With the Russian economy on the back foot, facing high and accelerating interest rates and haemorrhaging billions into an unsustainable and illegal invasion, we will continue to work with our allies in the United States to turn the screw on Putin and his barbaric war.

Today’s announcement comes as the UK continues to exert relentless pressure on the shadow fleet Russia uses to transport Russian oil. Just last month the Prime Minister announced sanctions on 20 more ships (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/prime-minister-announces-new-sanctions-and-35-million-of-emergency-support-for-ukraine-as-russia-continues-to-attack-critical-national-infrastructure) responsible for transporting more than 4 million barrels of Russian oil in 2024, taking the total number shadow fleet vessels sanctioned by the UK to 93.

Background

The companies sanctioned today under the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/russia-sanctions-guidance) are:
- PJSC SURGUTNEFTEGAS
- GAZPROM NEFT

UK and Guatemala Strengthen Climate Collaboration Ahead of COP30
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-24)

The British Embassy in Guatemala and the Ministry of Environment hosted a strategic workshop to prepare the Guatemalan delegation for COP30 in Belém, Brazil.

Key participants included Vice Minister Edwin Castellanos, head of the delegation; Igor De la Roca, Secretary of CONAP; Ambassador Rita Mishaan, Guatemala’s Climate Change Special Envoy; and representatives from the British Embassy.

Discussions focused on enhancing Guatemala’s climate ambition, particularly through the update of its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), which emphasize both mitigation and adaptation. Priority adaptation sectors include forests, water resources, agriculture, coastal areas, health, and infrastructure. Vice Minister Castellanos underscored the urgency of building resilience across these vulnerable areas.

Ambassador Mishaan reaffirmed Guatemala’s commitment to constructive engagement at COP30, citing recent collaboration with the UK through the Cartagena Dialogue—a coalition of around 40 countries advocating for ambitious, low-carbon climate action. She also emphasized Guatemala’s active role within AILAC, a regional alliance of eight Latin American and Caribbean nations with shared climate priorities.

The workshop also addressed shared goals such as advancing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), tracking progress on the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA), scaling adaptation finance, and operationalizing the loss and damage fund. The UK reiterated its support for a high-ambition outcome at COP30 through close cooperation with Brazil and regional partners.

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 Uppingham Surgery 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 Uppingham Surgery 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
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
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.

NDA group holds 10th Supply Chain Event
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-17)

Expertise, innovation and collaboration within the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) group supply chain has been showcased at its 10th industry event.

The NDA group’s Supply Chain Event saw 2,000 people and 300 exhibitors assemble at Telford International Centre yesterday (Thursday) for the decommissioning-focused networking event.

The day was launched by David Peattie, Chief Executive of the NDA group. He said:

I am proud to welcome everyone to our milestone 10th Supply Chain Event, which again provides a crucial opportunity for our sector to share expertise and build collaboration with one another.

The supply chain is a vital component of our operations, working collaboratively with our dedicated staff to drive our success.

The expertise, dedication and innovation within the supply chain are crucial to progressing our mission, and the contribution of supply chain colleagues enables us to tackle some of the most complex challenges in nuclear decommissioning and in the wider industry.

I look forward to our continued collaboration across the NDA group.

The NDA group has more than 5,000 companies in its supply chain, which make a vast economic contribution across the country and create significant employment opportunities.

Of the group’s suppliers, 95% are based in the UK and more than a third of the supply chain spend is with small and medium enterprises.

Since the Supply Chain Event was launched in 2011 to help foster relationships and identify opportunities, over 20,000 visitors have attended from more than 20 countries; a number of whom have gone on to develop successful collaborations.

Morgan Sindall Infrastructure has attended every Supply Chain Event since its inception. Lyndsey Campbell, the company’s Supply Chain Director for Nuclear, said:

We are focused on investing in relationships, therefore the key thing for us about the Supply Chain Event is the opportunity to be visible, to network and to connect – or reconnect – with colleagues across the industry under one roof.

It’s also important to hear from the NDA so we can plan and be proactive about what is coming in the future. It’s a very worthwhile event to support.

The event was also an opportunity to publicly congratulate the winners of the NDA group’s Supply Chain Awards that were announced in November.
