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 CHC Global Insurance Services Limited 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 CHC Global Insurance Services Limited 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.
EIM36710 - Deductions from earnings: capital allowances: particular items of plant or machinery: books
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-23)


Where the conditions of Section 336 ITEPA 2003 are satisfied you may admit a deduction for the full cost of books which are likely to be of only temporary use or value. For example, text books a teacher may have to provide for use in class. For detailed guidance on dealing with teachers' claims see EIM70725 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim70725).

If, exceptionally, an employee has to purchase a substantial work of reference likely to have a long useful life, any deduction will have to be considered under the capital allowances code (see EIM36500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim36500) onwards). Only spend time in establishing whether an allowance is due as an expenses deduction or as a capital allowance in worthwhile cases.

UK Representation in the Commonwealth
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-24)

The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of 56 independent and equal countries, representing over 2.7 billion people across 5 continents.

While many members share historical ties with the UK, the modern Commonwealth is a diverse and dynamic global network – spanning large economies and small island states, united by shared values of democracy, good governance, and the rule of law.

The UK plays a leading role in shaping the Commonwealth’s future. We work closely with the Commonwealth Secretariat and member states to ensure the organisation remains relevant, impactful, and focused on delivering for its citizens. This includes supporting inclusive economic growth, strengthening democratic institutions, and amplifying the Commonwealth’s global voice.

The UK is officially represented on the Commonwealth Secretariat’s Board of Governors by the Commonwealth Envoy, supported by the Commonwealth Unit at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). The Unit leads the UK’s strategic engagement across the Commonwealth, including preparations for the biennial Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), and coordination of cross-government initiatives.

His Majesty King Charles III serves as Head of the Commonwealth – a symbolic and unifying role that reflects the enduring bonds between Commonwealth nations and their shared commitment to a better, more connected future.

The Commonwealth Envoy is John Virgoe (https://www.gov.uk/government/people/john-virgoe).

CTM40315 - Particular bodies: friendly societies: general scheme of taxation
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-17)


All friendly societies are treated as companies for Corporation Tax purposes. An incorporated friendly society is a company as usually understood in its own right. Registered and unregistered friendly societies are unincorporated associations (and so taxed as companies - see CTM00510 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm00510)). FA12/S151 provides that The Corporation Tax Acts apply in a similar way to friendly sovieties as they apply to mutual insurance companies.

Although friendly societies are chargeable to CT, they may claim two specific exemptions, described in the following paragraphs. Any society which has income or profits not covered by the exemptions should be reviewed by LB (Financial Advisory Services). Other offices should hold files only for societies with profits that are wholly exempt, and the involvement of such offices will be limited to dealing with claims to repayment as a result of the exemptions.

If a society which has previously only carried on tax exempt business starts to engage in taxable activities, this should be notified to BAI (Technical).

Unregistered friendly societies: limited exemption from CT

An unregistered friendly society with income not exceeding £160 is exempt from CT (FA12/S171). This exemption covers both income and chargeable gains. When a society first claims exemption under this section, this and the rules of the society should be referred to BAI (Technical).

Disability, loneliness and relationships: a thematic report
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-16)

A qualitative literature review that explores the lived experiences of disabled people in the UK regarding relationships, loneliness, and connectedness.

This research was commissioned under the previous government and therefore does not necessarily reflect the policies of the current government. The views expressed are the authors’ and do not necessarily reflect those of the government.

This report explores the lived experiences of disabled people regarding relationships, loneliness, and connectedness in the UK.

It builds on the findings from the systematic literature review (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-lived-experience-of-disabled-people-in-the-uk-a-review-of-evidence) conducted by the Centre for Disability Studies at the University of Leeds, and Disability Rights UK.

The aim of this qualitative literature review was to:
- identify disabled people’s preferences in forming social networks and relationships
- understand any barriers they may face and the impact of them
- review any improvements to schemes, designs, adaptations and services
The findings highlight that disabled people:
- often have smaller networks than non-disabled people and are more dependent on these networks, which can lead to alternate definitions of friendship
- face an increasing dependency on their network – outside of family and service workers, these networks often include relationships with people similar to themselves
- are regularly made to feel as an ‘other’ by social perceptions and therefore do not feel they fit in – as a result, disabled people can internalise negative societal perceptions and self-isolate
- experience disparities in perceptions, such as for people who acquired their impairment compared with other disabled people
- navigate additional barriers in relationships regarding roles, often balancing ‘traditional’ non-disabled roles with aspects of caregiving and increased dependency, especially for partner and parent/child relationships
- value sexual identity as much as their non-disabled peers, but face stigma about their sexual expression – they can face heightened stigma if they identify as LGBTQ+ and therefore, due to their dependency on their smaller networks, are not able to explore their sexuality or gender identity in the same ways as non-disabled people
- seek greater independence and autonomy within their lives, and significantly face the assumption of incompetence by non-disabled people, to the detriment of all relationships
- are not afforded the same access to education and information on sexual health, sexual wellbeing, family planning and relationships

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.

Assurance of sustainability reporting
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-25)

This consultation seeks views on the government's proposal for greater regulatory oversight of third-party assurance services for sustainability-related financial disclosures.

As part of the Mansion House package (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/mansion-house-2024) in November 2024, the government set out the steps it is taking to establish a world-leading sustainable finance framework that delivers credible and decision-useful sustainability-related financial information to the financial markets. A high-quality and competitive sustainability assurance market is critical to this mission.

In February 2025, the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) published findings from its market study into the assurance of sustainability reporting, which highlighted demand for stronger regulatory oversight of assurance providers.

This consultation seeks views on a proposal for the planned Audit, Reporting and Governance Authority (ARGA) to be given responsibility for creating a voluntary registration regime for entities that offer third-party assurance services for sustainability-related disclosures. The proposed regime aims to drive trust in the UK sustainability assurance market and support companies to easily identify appropriately qualified sustainability assurance providers.

This consultation forms part of the first phase of consultations to modernise the UK’s framework for corporate reporting, published alongside consultations on exposure draft UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS) and the government’s transition plan manifesto commitment. It also forms part of the government’s work to strengthen audit and corporate governance, as announced in the King’s Speech 2024.

PM meeting with President Erdoğan of Türkiye: 27 October 2025

The Prime Minister visited the President of Türkiye, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in Ankara today.

The Prime Minister visited the President of Türkiye, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in Ankara today.

The leaders began their discussions by reflecting on the strength of the relationship between the two countries.

The deal signed today to support Türkiye’s air force with UK Typhoons further underlined that strength, they agreed.

It would boost NATO’s collective defences on the south eastern flank, support highly skilled jobs in the UK, and knit the UK and Türkiye’s air force together for years to come, allowing for greater interoperability, the Prime Minister added.

The Prime Minister then turned to the wider bilateral relationship between the two countries. Both leaders underlined the untapped opportunity to grow the trading relationship between the two countries.

In that spirit, the leaders agreed to relaunch Tatli Dil, the flagship UK-Turkey bilateral forum to bring together government, business and scientists to forge new relationships between the two countries.

Discussing shared challenges, including combatting terrorism and stability in the Middle East, the leaders reiterated the need to ensure the ceasefire in Gaza held and there was an acceleration of aid. They also underlined the importance of securing a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.

The leaders looked forward to speaking again soon, and the Prime Minister said he looked forward to visiting again for the NATO Summit in Türkiye next year.
