Thanckes tank farm project
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-10)

Information about the project to redevelop Thanckes Oil Fuel Depot, how it will affect the local area and who to contact to make an enquiry.

Oil fuel depots

The Oil and Pipelines Agency (OPA) is responsible for 6 Naval Oil Fuel Depots in the UK. It works on behalf of the Secretary of State for Defence. It is a statutory public corporation sponsored by the Ministry of Defence (MOD).

Thanckes Oil Fuel Depot

The site comprises, a site office, the main site area that holds 8 in use storage tanks and the jetty area, which allows delivery to and from ships.

The site is adjacent to the A374, Torpoint, Cornwall, PL11 2PG.

Jetty replacement and site upgrade

The old Fuel Jetty, which was over 60 years old, has been replaced with a modern refuelling facility for Royal Navy shipping. In addition, the old sitewide fire system has been fully replaced.

We are in the final stages of designing an upgrade for the site tank farm. Finalisation and construction is anticipated in autumn 2026.

Work to be carried out

Demolition of old storage tank assets is being conducted in phases to make way for the new tank farm. New primary, and secondary containment will be installed with modifications to the fire system for a deluge system.

The site will look similar on the skyline to how it is now. Also, the road tanker wagon loading bay, filtrate and returns systems will be upgraded.

Project timescales

Storage tank demolition works commenced in 2024 and will be completed in 2026.

Noise and disruption management

Site noise assessment has been completed and ongoing monitoring will occur, as there will unavoidably be noise created during both demolition and construction between the normal site working hours of 8am and 6pm Monday to Friday.

Appropriate noise mitigation measures will be put in place to limit impact on the local community.

Traffic management

Construction design and management (CDM) traffic management plan will consider local communities, contractors and suppliers, to minimise road congestion where possible particularly during peak times.

Site security

As an operational COMAH site, naval asset, and construction site, we have a legal and moral obligation to ensure safety and security is maintained at all times.

Community Relations team

We have a dedicated project team who are happy to answer any questions you might have. We will also be issuing project updates to our neighbours and any other interested parties.

IMPS06200 - Valuation for import VAT: exceptions to the normal rules: re-imports: goods re-imported in the same state
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-11)


Regulation 121D provides modifications and exceptions to Returned Goods Relief (RGR) available under sections 37-39 of the UK reliefs document, for goods re-imported into Great Britain in an unaltered state, other than any necessary running repairs that did not increase their value. Further to customs rules in the reliefs document and relief from import duty, for VAT relief Reg 121D requires the same person re-import goods that had previously exported them, and that any VAT that had been due on an item, has been paid. Regulation 121D(7) excludes from the relief good that had been subject to a supply outside the UK, and 121D(8) likewise excludes from VAT RGR, vehicles that had been subject to zero-rated supplies under the Personal Export Scheme.

Regulation 125 to SI 2020/1545 sets out the transitional provisions for items removed to the EU, prior to the end of the transitional period.

The usual time limit for items to return free from import taxes including VAT is three years, for RGR to be allowable. Pay less import duty and VAT (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pay-less-import-duty-and-vat-when-re-importing-goods-to-the-uk-and-eu) refers to time limits including circumstances where they may be waived.

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.

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

- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;

AAIB investigation to Boeing 777-236, G-VIIT
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-08)

Inadvertent thrust reduction during the takeoff roll, London Gatwick Airport, 28 June 2024

During takeoff, the co-pilot began retarding the thrust levers at airspeed V1, instead of removing his hand from them. After momentarily advancing them again, he initiated the rejected takeoff (RTO) procedure around 2 KIAS later. The RTO was performed effectively and the aircraft stopped some distance before the end of the runway surface.

The report considers the complex nature of the takeoff roll and why mental rehearsal of motor actions may benefit pilots, particularly after time off from flying. It discusses the industry-wide challenge of preventing action slips. This operator had already published a methodical approach to control selections, which it has promoted in pre-flight briefing material. It has included the wider issue of ‘focus’ in its recurrent simulator training.

NHS injury costs recovery scheme: tariff and charges from 1 October 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-07)

Amendment in the tariff and ceiling of charges payable by compensators for the recovery of NHS charges under the NHS injury costs recovery scheme.

The tariff and ceiling on charges payable by compensators for the recovery of NHS charges under the NHS injury costs recovery (ICR) scheme increased on 1 October 2025. The increases apply only to injuries sustained on or after that date.

This uplift in the level of charges reflects Hospital and Community Health Services (HCHS) inflation. The latest available figure for HCHS inflation is 4.2% from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2026.

The increased charges are:
- where the injured person is provided with NHS ambulance services, the charge is increased from £256 to £267 for each occasion
- where the injured person receives NHS treatment, but is not admitted to hospital, the charge is increased from £848 to £886
- the daily charge for NHS in-patient treatment is increased from £1,042 to £1,085
- the maximum charge in respect of an injury is increased from £62,272 to £64,856
The Compensation Recovery Unit will also be issuing a letter to compensators and representatives of the injured person.

The UK continues to call on North Korea to end grave human rights violations: UK statement at the UN General Assembly
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-20)

Statement by Archie Young, UK Ambassador to the UN
General Assembly, at the UN General Assembly meeting on Human Rights Abuses and Violations in North Korea.

I thank the briefers for their brave testimonies and tireless advocacy. It is essential that we continue to shine a light on the grave human rights situation in the DPRK, about which the UK remains deeply concerned.

Human rights abuses against North Koreans remain widespread and systematic. Those who perpetrate these abuses remain unaccountable.

The regime refuses to acknowledge or act on the 2014 Commission of Inquiry report, which illustrates the multiple human rights violations committed in DPRK.

And the DPRK has repeatedly rejected UN resolutions which set out the many concerns shared by the international community, including the operation of prison camps and forced labour, violations of freedom of religion or belief and women’s rights.

North Koreans are denied freedom of movement, and many workers are sent overseas, often into modern slavery.

We urge the DPRK to cease these practices without delay.

Those wishing to leave do so clandestinely, at huge personal risk. We call on all Members to respect the principle of non-refoulement and not return escapees to DPRK.

On 7 November last year, the UK issued several recommendations to the DPRK as part of the Universal Periodic Review process, including ratifying the UN Convention against Torture and to reform the judicial system to ensure respect for the right to a fair trial.

We are pleased that the DPRK engaged with the Universal Periodic Review in November and encourage them to implement recommendations.

We need DPRK to make real and lasting change for the people of the DPRK.

We have repeatedly made it clear that the primary cause of the DPRK’s humanitarian and food crisis is their continued development of their illegal weapons programme, representing multiple breaches of Security Council resolutions.

Indeed, we have heard clearly today also the links between the human rights situation in DPRK and their support for Russia in its brutal war of aggression against Ukraine in brazen disregard towards UN sanctions.

We condemn these and call on the DPRK to prioritise the well-being of the people in North Korea.

We strongly encourage the DPRK to grant access to the Special Rapporteur on the situation on human rights in the DPRK and accept technical cooperation from UN human rights mechanisms, and to enable the return of UN agencies, to ensure help reaches those who are most vulnerable.

The UK continues to call on DPRK to engage in meaningful diplomacy and accept offers of dialogue.

We believe diplomacy and negotiations are the best way to secure peace and stability and improve the lives of all North Koreans.

This page includes 2023 to 2024 annual review summaries of Conflict, Stability and Security Fund programmes in Cyber.

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
New Chair of The Pensions Ombudsman appointed
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-18)

Deborah Evans is today [19 June] confirmed as the new Chair of The Pensions Ombudsman.

Ms Evans currently serves as a non-executive Director and chair of the compliance Committee at the Property Ombudsman. She will take over from Anthony Arter who has been interim Chair since January 2024. She will take up the post on 1 July.

The Pensions Ombudsman provides a vital service, by independently investigating and resolving complaints concerning occupational and personal pension schemes. It also plays an important role in ensuring savers receive their entitled benefits and helping pension providers understand their obligations.

Ms Evans’s appointment comes as the Government’s Pension Schemes Bill continues its passage through Parliament. Measures include strengthening the legal standing of the Pensions Ombudsman so that pension overpayment cases can be resolved and pension overpayments refunded quicker, reducing waiting times for customers.

Minister for Pensions, Torsten Bell said:

I am pleased to announce Deborah Evans as the new Chair of The Pensions Ombudsman.

I look forward to working with her as she brings her leadership and expertise to this vital role, helping to uphold high standards of fairness and accountability across the pensions sector.

I am confident she will make a positive impact for savers and pensioners across the country.

Deborah Evans said:

Pensions are vital in providing adequate income in retirement and have a huge impact on people’s lives.

The role of the Pensions Ombudsman plays a crucial role in ensuring that complaints are dealt appropriately and independently, keeping the system fair.

I look forward to leading the board to help the organisation succeed and drive improvements throughout the pensions sector.

Alongside her role at the Property Ombudsman, Deborah Evans is also Director and Chief Executive of Lawyers in Local Government, and Chair of Governors at Trent College. She will bring extensive experience in leadership and governance, from both the public and regulatory sectors.

Additional Information
- The Chair of The Pensions Ombudsman is appointed by the Secretary of State for the Department for Work and Pensions. The appointment was made following an open competition regulated by The Office for the Commissioner of Public Appointments.
- As Chair, Deborah Evans will receive £24,000 per year for a minimum time commitment of 36 days annually.
The UK welcomes the ceasefire in southern Syria and urges all sides to stick to it: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-27)

Statement by Rt Hon Hamish Falconer MP, Minister for the Middle East, at the UN Security Council meeting on Syria.

Thank you to Special Envoy Pedersen and Ms. Wosornu for the brief.

Your update today underlines just how fragile the situation remains in Syria.

Together, we must stay focused on protecting civilians, supporting peace, and getting aid to those who need it.

I want to make three points today.

First, the UK welcomes the ceasefire in southern Syria. It is fragile, but it is holding.

Thank you to the United States, for all the hard work of them and regional partners for their efforts to broker the ceasefire.

We urge all sides to stick to it.

We also welcome the resumption of dialogue between Syria and Israel.

Further Israeli military action is in no one’s interests and risks tipping Syria into deeper instability. We must avoid that, and now is the time to rebuild trust.

The UK is worried about the spread of dis-and-misinformation, which is fuelling division and fear.

Communities need space to talk honestly with each other.

And there must be accountability for those sowing division.

The violence on the coast in March cannot be brushed aside.

We welcome the recent presentation of findings from the Committee established to investigate the violence.

Showing how the perpetrators of the violence will be held accountable is crucial to prevent those events repeating.

Second, the humanitarian situation is dire, as we have heard.

Over 145,000 people have been displaced.

Many are cut off from food, water, fuel, and medical care.

That is unacceptable.

We call for immediate, consistent, and unimpeded humanitarian access so that all aid actors, including international organisations, can get help to those who need it most.

The UK is doing its part.

We have provided over $295,000 in emergency support to southern Syria, getting urgent healthcare and trauma care to those affected.

UK-funded Grain from Ukraine is also reaching people in Dara’a and Suwayda through the World Food Programme.

And earlier this month, our Foreign Secretary announced over $124 million in new support for Syria.

That includes urgent humanitarian aid, long-term recovery support through education and livelihoods and help for countries hosting Syrian refugees.

Finally, this is another pivotal moment.

The violence in Suwayda is a stark reminder that Syria’s future must include all of its communities.

We know that peace and security will not come without inclusion.

That is why we are calling on the Syrian government to prioritise this in the political transition.

And the UK will keep working with the Syrian government and regional partners to help build a Syria that is peaceful, inclusive, and stable.

International fisheries management
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-11)

What the government is doing to manage shared fisheries and fisheries beyond our national waters.

We work closely with our partners in the North East Atlantic and beyond to promote the sustainable management of international fisheries. We engage other coastal States both one-to-one (bilaterally) or in multilateral formats. This includes having a full and proactive role in:
- coastal State negotiations on widely distributed stocks such as mackerel or blue whiting
- Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMO)
- supranational organisations such as the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation
In all our international fisheries management work, our approach is guided by the legal framework set out in the Fisheries Act 2020 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/29/contents). We work closely with the devolved administrations and our stakeholders across the UK in formulating our negotiating positions.

The governance framework

In establishing how we will operate as an independent coastal State in respect of shared fisheries interests, the UK has negotiated Fisheries Framework Agreements and Memoranda of Understanding with other North Atlantic coastal States.

Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs)

A further key part of the governance framework we operate within is our membership of Regional Fisheries Management Organisations. These are regional organisations responsible for the management of fish stocks distributed in high seas areas (outside of national waters) and for highly migratory fish stocks. The UK is a currently a contracting party to 5 RFMOs:
- ICCAT – International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (https://www.iccat.int/en/)
- IOTC – Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (https://iotc.org/)
- NAFO – Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (https://www.nafo.int/)
- NASCO – North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organisation (https://nasco.int/)
- NEAFC – North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (https://www.neafc.org/)

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 A Better Tomorrow 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 A Better Tomorrow 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
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- 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.
