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 Zulu Joint Integrity & Training 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 Zulu Joint Integrity & Training 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
- 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.

TSEM4735 - Settlements Legislation: Rules affecting non-domiciled and deemed domiciled settlors of non-resident trusts from 6 April 2025 : Example -the benefits charge and choice of who is chargeable
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


Mr P has been resident in the UK since 2012/13 but has never been classed as UK domiciled or deemed domiciled in the UK under condition A. In 2018 he established the P family Trust for the benefit of him and his family at the trustees’ discretion. From 2018/2019 through to 2024/25 income arose to the trustees of £150,000 per year. No distributions were made and the income was all retained in the structure as PFSI amounting to a total of £1,050,000.

In 2025/2026 the trustees purchased a home in Spain for the equivalent of £500,000 for Mr & Mrs P equally, who were resident in the UK at the time. Following this, the total ‘untaxed benefit total’ is £500,000 after carrying out the steps at section 643B ITTOIA 2005, and there is sufficient ‘available protected income’ to match against this amount in full. The full amount of £500,000 is chargeable under section 643A ITTOIA 2005.

Because the benefit has been provided for both Mr P, who is the settlor, and Mrs P who is a close member of the settlor’s family, there is a choice about who the income should be treated as arising to. The rule at section 643A (3) ITTOIA 2005 allows for an officer of HMRC to apportion the treatment between Mr P and Mrs P in a way that is just and reasonable. In this instance it is likely that it would be just and reasonable for them to each have £250,000 treated as their income as this corresponds to the share of the £500,000 property that they each received the benefit of.

Reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) in hospitals: management information
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-10)

Data on confirmed evidence of RAAC in hospital sites in England that are part of NHS England's RAAC remediation programme.

This page gives information on hospital sites in England that are confirmed to contain reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC).

All hospital sites in England with confirmed RAAC are in NHS England’s ongoing national RAAC programme. This programme has been allocated over £1.3 billion since the 2021 to 2022 financial year so trusts can put in place the necessary remediation and failsafe measures alongside eradication.

The information on the spreadsheet includes:

site location

NHS trust

RAAC status

As of 10 September 2025, there are 41 hospital sites with confirmed RAAC in the rolling national programme, which has been in place since 2021. Since May 2023, 34 sites have been identified, following updated monitoring guidance from the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) (https://www.istructe.org/resources/guidance/reinforced-autoclaved-aerated-concrete-(raac)-inve/).

Twenty sites have entirely eradicated previously confirmed instances of RAAC. Seven hospitals that are most affected by RAAC are also part of the New Hospital Programme for full replacement by 2030. Where possible RAAC is identified, visual inspections and structural surveys take place to verify its presence and level of risk. Once the presence of RAAC is confirmed, trusts join the national RAAC programme. This programme supports mitigation, remediation and wider planning to maintain safety.

Keeping hospital capacity open while carefully monitoring and mitigating RAAC until it can be removed is fully in line with current evidence and recommendations from IStructE.

This Synthesis Report explores how the GCRF supported the application of research and innovation (R&I) in policy and practice from five cluster case studies across India, Kenya, Vietnam, Lebanon and the Southern Indian Ocean region. It sets out the practical outcomes achieved by GCRF projects working in these regions and the factors associated with success. This evidence supports learning for future funds, promoting best practice to achieve effective impact pathways.

This report was produced in 2025. The Global Challenges Research Fund (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/global-challenges-research-fund) has now closed. Since then, the government has taken the difficult decision to temporarily reduce ODA to the equivalent of 0.3% of gross national income (GNI) by 2027 to fund an increase in defence spending. The government remains committed to international development and to returning ODA to 0.7% of GNI when fiscal conditions allow.

The International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF) (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/international-science-partnerships-fund-ispf/international-science-partnerships-fund-ispf) is the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT’s) flagship funding vehicle for international science, research, technology, and innovation (SRTI) partnerships.

Complete list of proposed negative statutory instruments (SIs) laid to sift under the REUL (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023.

The Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act has ended the special status of retained EU law, which is now known as ‘assimilated law’ since 1 January 2024, in the UK statute book. This enables assimilated law to be amended, revoked and replaced more easily via legislation such as these statutory instruments.

How to comply with the reformed off-payroll working rules (IR35), and avoid common mistakes.

These Guidelines for Compliance (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/guidelines-for-compliance) (GfC) are for organisations who engage workers under the off-payroll working rules. The rules are sometimes known as ‘IR35’.

These guidelines are designed to demonstrate what good practice with the off-payroll working rules looks like.

You should read these guidelines alongside existing off-payroll working guidance (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/understanding-off-payroll-working-ir35). They are not designed to be used in isolation, or to create an end-to-end process for organisations to comply with the rules.

Your organisation should apply the guidelines to reflect the complexity and scale of your own off-payroll working engagements. Use these guidelines to help make informed decisions, based on individual circumstances.

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 Denbighshire County Council 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 Denbighshire County Council 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.
ECSH83585 - Sanctions for non-compliance: suspension and cancellation: when a business has failed to comply with any conditions in regulation 59(1)(a) to (e)
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-09)


We may cancel or suspend the registration of any business or individual (relevant person) registered where the decision maker (DM) is satisfied that any of the following applies:

Any requirement under regulation 57 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2017/692/regulation/57) The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017) has not been complied with. Specifically, where the business has failed to update a material change (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh47075) to information provided or there is an inaccuracy (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh47025) in the information provided, within the specified timeframe.

Any information provided under regulation 57 MLR 2017, during registration or subsequently, is found to be false or misleading (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh47125).

The applicant has failed to pay a penalty, or charge imposed under MLR 2017 or under MLR 2007.

When HMRC has reasonable grounds to suspect that the relevant obligations under MLR 2017, Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2002/29/contents) or Terrorism Act 2000 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2000/11/contents)will not be complied with by either the applicant or its officers or managers.

The reasonable grounds for suspicion must be held by the registering authority, that is HMRC, and the DM must be able to evidence the rationale for their suspicion.

- partially successful - where DVSA could only supply part of the information that was asked for
The logs do not show FOI requests where:
- DVSA did not hold any of the information that was asked for
- it would have cost too much or taken too much staff time to deal with the request
- the request was vexatious
- the request repeated a previous request from the same person
- the information that was asked for was exempt from the Freedom of Information Act
The Information Commissioner’s Office has information about what to expect after making an FOI request (https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/official-information/what-to-expect-after-making-an-information-request), including when a request can be refused.
