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 MSB Group Mechanical and Electrical 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 MSB Group Mechanical and Electrical 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:
- Promoting the Armed Forces: Advertising accommodation and infrastructure updates and ex-citing new projects we assist the MoD with
- Employment support to members of the Armed Forces Community: Where possible agree to interview ex service personnel
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.

16 to 19 funding: in-year growth for 2024 to 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-05)

Information about in-year growth funding for 16 to 19 education (including up to 24 for those with high needs) for academic year 2024 to 2025.

The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) closed on 31 March 2025. All activity has moved to the Department for Education (DfE). You should continue to follow this guidance.

March 2025

We’ve added a new attachment with updates to the in-year growth funding methodology for academic year 2024 to 2025. We’re changing our funding methodology for this year’s in-year growth to stay within our budget.

This change applies to the exceptional in-year growth for student numbers only.

We are not changing the methodology for:
- high needs in-year growth in special post-16 institutions (SPIs) or centrally funded exceptions (CFEs)
- bursary and free meals in-year growth
August 2024

Each year, we review the early data returns from institutions delivering 16 to 19 education (including up to 24 for those with high needs) and award in-year growth where necessary, subject to affordability. For academic year 2024 to 2025 only, we are publishing the rules for calculating in-year growth awards early. We will fund in-year growth in academic year 2024 to 2025 based on the rules in this guidance. In the unlikely event that the resulting in-year growth funding is exceptionally high, we may need to amend the rules to ensure that the payments are affordable. We will provide an update on this in February 2025 once we know the level of growth.

There are 3 strands to the in-year growth exercise:
- exceptional in-year growth for student numbers
- exceptional in-year growth for SPIs and CFEs
- free meals in further education (FE) and bursary
All references to R04 in this guidance mean the R04 student figure with a 1 November reference date applied.
Wild release and management of beavers in England
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-28)

Defra's approach to the wild release and management of beavers in England.

Eurasian beavers were once widespread across England, but became nationally extinct due to overhunting. In recent years, they have begun returning to our waterways through a combination of licensed releases, escapes, unlawful wild releases, and natural breeding.

Defra is setting out its approach to the wild release and management of beavers in England, including the support provided to farmers, landowners, and local communities.

This includes:
- licensing the wild release of beavers
- managing existing wild beaver populations
- developing a long-term management plan for beavers

Security Minister observes counter-terrorism exercise in Wales
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-26)

Meeting emergency responders at a counter-terrorism training exercise in Wales, the Security Minister praised their collaboration to keep the public safe.

The Security Minister re-emphasised the need for close working between national and devolved emergency services and responders to minimise the impact of a terrorist attack in Wales, during a visit to Swansea to observe a multi-agency counter-terrorism exercise on Wednesday (26 April).

At the exercise at Swansea.com Stadium, he was able to watch emergency responders in Wales, including the police, fire and rescue, ambulance and other responder organisations, test their preparedness for a large-scale attack and ensure they work effectively together to keep the public safe.

Thanking all those taking part in the exercise for their unwavering commitment to protecting the public, the Security Minister gave a speech to participants, to say that responding to an incident with mass fatalities successfully depends on trust, close working and collaboration between multiple agencies.

Security Minister Dan Jarvis said:

It was an immense privilege to witness the dedicated work of the emergency services and responder organisations and their unwavering commitment to keeping the people of Wales safe.

National security is the foundation of our Plan for Change. This essential training ensures we are prepared for every eventuality and in the best position to save lives and protect our communities.

It comes after the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill completed its final parliamentary stage this week ahead of royal assent. This new legislation will ensure venues across the UK – which will include premises such as sports stadiums – consider the security of the public and take steps to protect them from harm.

The new law is better known as Martyn’s Law in memory of Martyn Hett, who tragically lost his life alongside 21 others in the 2017 Manchester Arena terrorist attack.

Wednesday’s exercise also sought to test the stadium’s internal contingency response plans. Under the bill, qualifying premises like Swansea.com Stadium will be required to plan how best to respond to a terrorist attack.

The exercise was part of a routine training exercise between the police, including Counter Terrorism Policing Wales and South Wales Police, and other services, such as the South Wales Fire and Rescue service, health and social care, and the Welsh Government, which work together in partnership to respond to and mitigate the impacts of incidents of this nature.

The various agencies taking part were able to practice the application of the Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Principles (JESIP) which are widely acknowledged as critical to the success of a response to an incident and are the adopted principles for multi-agency working across the UK.

The Security Minister also visited the Senedd in Cardiff where he met with the First Minister of Wales to discuss strengthening national security in Wales and remaining prepared for terrorist attacks.

Report by the Coordinator of OSCE Economic and Environmental Activities: UK Statement November 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-27)

Ambassador Holland thanks the Coordinator of Economic and Environmental activities for his office's work on mitigating the environmental impacts of Russia's war on Ukraine, and for their vital work on migration issues.

Thank you Mr Chair, and thank you Ambassador Dzhusupov for your presentation and for being here once again.

Since your last address to the Permanent Council, we have continued to see the devastating effects of Russia’s brutal and illegal war of aggression. Each day there is yet more impact on Ukraine’s - and the OSCE region’s - economy and environment. We are pleased to see in your report how your office is working to mitigate the effects of the war, which stretch right across the OSCE’s comprehensive concept of security.

Your focus on Economic Good Governance is also particularly crucial. The OCEEA’s initiatives to combat corruption, money laundering, and the financing of terrorism are vital for promoting transparency and integrity within the region. The UK is proud to support the ExB project “Innovative Policy Solutions to Mitigate Money Laundering Risks of Virtual Assets” to build capacity in Central Asia, Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus, to deal with this fast-evolving area.

The UK is also pleased to be able to continue to support your office’s work on migration issues. My thanks again to you and your team for the excellent launch event last week of the report on “Climate Change, Human Mobility and Security Pathways for regional co-operation” as well as for the report on “Migration Trends across the OSCE, 2015–2025”. The OSCE’s comprehensive approach to security uniquely positions the Organization to treat migration as a critical security factor. I encourage you all to attend our side event at the Ministerial Council next week where we will also look at the unique role of the OSCE in addressing irregular migration and border security challenges.

Ambassador Dzhusupov, thank you once again for your report, and we look forward to supporting you and your able team in the months ahead.

Monitoring emissions from back-up generators: RPS 353
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-09)

Environment Agency regulatory position on when you do not need to monitor emissions from permitted medium combustion plant that are used for back-up generation.

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to comply with your environmental permit when you operate a diesel fired generator to provide power in an on-site emergency.

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.

The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.

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 getITright 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 getITright 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
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
We also pledge the following:

Armed forces supplier: compete for business within the defence market demonstrating the highest standards of integrity, openness and transparency to our customers at all times, in line with industry best practice

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.

Harnessing our data for a sustainable future

Tuesday 1 April at 11am

Hear from Gerry Wildman, assistant director for digital and information, about the unique and extensive collection of data and information we hold that details Britain’s mining legacy and its impacts on the environment.

We believe that others could and should use our data and information to make better, evidence-based decisions that will ultimately benefit the people and the environment in mining areas. This webinar will shine a light on that data and explain how you can access it.

Providing confidence to the housing market

Thursday 3 April at 11am

Each year, thousands of property transactions take place across the coalfield, all backed by our trusted data and insights.

We’ll also share real-world examples of how our data has facilitated successful property transactions, offering valuable context for conveyancers, estate agents, lenders, and legal professionals. Plus, you’ll have the chance to ask your questions.

Steel Industry (Special Measures) Bill: late submission of impact assessment
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-17)

RPC statement about the Department for Business and Trade’s late submission of an impact assessment relating to the Bill

The Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC) produces opinions of impact assessments (IAs) to help departments ensure that the evidence and analysis in them is sufficiently robust. We provide an independent opinion to assist ministerial decision making and parliamentary scrutiny of regulatory proposals. We publish these to assist parliamentarians and to ensure that they are available to external stakeholders. Government departments are expected to submit IAs to the RPC in time for the RPC to be able to issue an opinion before the relevant legislation is laid before Parliament.

The Steel Industry (Special Measures) Bill was introduced to Parliament, recalled from Easter recess to consider the Bill. As an emergency Bill, it completed all stages (both Houses), was given Royal Assent and came into force, in one day – Saturday, 12 April 2025. The Act makes provision to ensure continued operation of a critical national industry. The Government needed to act with urgency to ensure that the steelworks blast furnaces of British Steel were maintained and kept going. Given the emergency nature of the legislation, an IA was not produced at that time. Instead, the Department submitted an IA for RPC scrutiny on 3 November 2025. The RPC is currently reviewing the IA (which has not yet been published) and will produce an opinion when its scrutiny has been completed. This will be made available to the Government and Parliament and published on the RPC’s website, when this statement will be updated.
