UK nuclear safeguards support programme: reports on activities and progress
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-21)

Activities and progress in the UK contribution to the maintenance of the international nuclear safeguards regime.

Nuclear safeguards are technical measures used to verify that states comply with their international treaty obligations not to misuse nuclear materials for the manufacture of nuclear explosives. They are an essential part of the nuclear non-proliferation regime.

Established in 1981, the UK Safeguards Support Programme is part of the UK contribution to the maintenance of international safeguards. It provides technical support to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in verifying the peaceful use of nuclear technology. The programme is managed by the National Nuclear Laboratory on behalf of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).

The UK Safeguards Support Programme contributes:
- expertise and advice for the further development of safeguards strategies in new and existing activities and plants in the nuclear fuel cycle
- services to support the IAEA in analysing nuclear material arising from samples taken in the course of safeguards inspections
- access to facilities and experts for the training of Agency personnel in advanced techniques applied in safeguards inspections and on fuel cycle plants
- development of techniques, methods and procedures for safeguarding facilities in the nuclear fuel cycle
- development and assessment of equipment, instruments and methods for application in safeguarding the nuclear fuel cycle
- assistance through the provision of expert staff to complete specialised programmes of work that cannot be resourced through a permanent position with the IAEA
The activities and progress of the UK Safeguards Support Programme are published on an annual basis.

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 Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers 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 Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers 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.

The role of the DCMS

The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport is responsible for making the decision about whether to grant approval and issue certificates, on the recommendation of the BFI Certification Unit. In practice, this duty is delegated to the DCMS Senior Film Policy Advisor, who ensures that the BFI’s recommendations are consistent with Cultural Test guidance.

Refusal and withdrawal of certification

On the advice of the BFI, DCMS can refuse or withdraw a certificate even where the Cultural Test is met but false or misleading information is supplied. In such cases DCMS will co-operate with HMRC, the Crown Prosecution Service and the police on prosecutions, as appropriate.

Criminal Justice System statistics quarterly: December 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-28)

Overview of trends in the use of out of court disposals, defendants prosecuted, offenders convicted, remand and sentencing decisions in England and Wales.

Details

This report presents key statistics on activity in the criminal justice system for England and Wales. It provides information up to the year ending December 2024 with accompanying commentary, analysis and presentation of longer-term trends.

Statistician’s comment

Continuing the recent trend, 2024 saw increases in the volumes of prosecutions and convictions at criminal courts. Prosecutions for theft presented the largest annual increase, followed by violence against the person and drugs offences. Prosecutions for sexual offences rose for the 6th consecutive year and represents a series high.

In the case of the more serious indictable offences, conviction levels are now at their highest since 2017.

The proportion of defendants dealt with for serious indictable offences who were remanded in custody continued to rise, with levels reaching a series peak in the magistrates’ courts.

Average custodial sentence length fell slightly for both indictable offences and all offences, driven in part by an increased proportion of conviction and custodial sentences being for theft offences which attract shorter sentence lengths but also a reduction in average sentences for some offence groups.

Crown Court data development (“One Crown”)

Recently MoJ and HMCTS worked together on the “One Crown” data project (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/67e298ced4a1b0665b8ee1fe/Consultation_on__One_Crown__changes_to_the_Crown_Court_data_processing_in_CCSQ.docx) to create a single, consistent and flexible dataset that meets both MoJ and HMCTS needs. This is intended to bring greater transparency, clarity and coherence for all users of the Criminal Court Statistics series (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/criminal-court-statistics).

In the coming months we plan to move the Criminal Justice System statistics to the One Crown data model. Historically the two MoJ published series have been produced independently from distinct pipelines which is inefficient and risks undermining the transparency between the two publications. Moving to the same data model will improve the coherence and provide a clearer read across for users of the two CJS statistical series and our understanding of the underlying administrative systems.

Moving to the One Crown model will require a large amount of work in a short period of time. For this reason, we will be cancelling the planned publication of the CJS statistics to Q1 2025 in August 2025. We expect to bring forward the publication of CJS statistics by a month and publish Q2 2025 in October 2025 rather than November 2025. This change will be made to all subsequent releases and will ensure more timely release of CJS data.

This manual will be archived on 15 December 2025. If there is content within this manual you use regularly, email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know.

Where a licence is presented after the goods have been exported, it will not usually be possible to authenticate the attribution because there will be no means of verifying that the goods exported were those shown on the licence. There is therefore no alternative but to exhaust the licence, even if there seems to be still a balance left on it.

Licences are only held electronically on LITE and SPIRE, you should contact the Department for Business and Trade at xxx@xxx.xx and advise them of the details of the breach. You should also consider taking offence action as set out in SGSAROA.

MTT25210 - Calculating the effective tax rate: Covered tax balance: Amounts to be included
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


The following amounts are to be reflected in the covered tax balance, in accordance with section 176 of Finance (No.2) Act 2023:
- any amount of covered taxes reflected in a member’s underlying profits but is not reflected in the member’s qualified current tax expense.
- the total deferred tax adjustment amount (see MTT27000+ (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt27000)).
- any amount of covered tax paid or refunded in the current accounting period that relates to an uncertain tax position, where that amount was excluded from the covered tax balance in a previous period.
- any amount of credit or refund in respect of a tax credit:
- that has not been included in the qualifying current tax expense in the current period or a previous accounting period.
- that is not a qualifying refundable tax credit or marketable transferable tax credit (see MTT21410 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt21410) and MTT21420 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt21420)).
- any amount of covered taxes credited or refunded to the member, other than a qualifying refundable tax credit (see MTT21410 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt21410)).
- the amount of special loss deferred tax assets used by a member in the current accounting period, where applicable (see MTT27010 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt27010)).
- any amount of covered taxes:
- that relates to an amount reflected in the adjusted profits of a member, where the amount reflected in the adjusted profits is subject to covered taxes under the law of the member’s territory, and
- that is recorded in other comprehensive income by that member.
- any amount of covered taxes relating to an amount that is reflected in the adjusted profits as a result of an adjustment for prior period errors (see MTT21200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt21200)) or changes in accounting policies (see MTT21210 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt21210)).
- any amount allocated to a member from another group member.
Where these amounts are not already reflected in the qualifying current tax expense of a member, an adjustment is required to ensure that they are reflected when determining the covered tax balance for the territory.

Domestic Top-up Tax

For DTT purposes, in regard to amounts that are allocated to a member from another group member, only amounts allocated under section 178(1) are to be reflected in the covered tax balance. These are amounts of tax reallocated in relation to section 167 or 168 (profits of hybrids and transparent entities, see MTT41470 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt41470)).

Upper Tribunal Administrative Appeals Chamber decision by Judge Church on 10 December 2024

Read the full decision in UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-HM (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/67a24265ad556423b636ca43/UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-HM_amended.pdf).

Judicial Summary

The right of a detained psychiatric patient to have their detention reviewed timeously is a very important right, as is the right to a fair hearing. The Mental Health Act 1983 and the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Health, Education and Social Care Chamber) Rules 2008 contain important safeguards to protect those rights. This case demonstrates how tensions can arise between them.

This decision concerns a tribunal’s decision making around whether to adjourn or to proceed with a hearing from which both the patient and the patient’s appointed representative are absent, as well as what the tribunal must say in its reasons to clear the required hurdle of ‘adequacy’.

I give guidance to the First-tier Tribunal, and to parties and representatives in the First-tier Tribunal, about what to do when a patient with a representative appointed under Rule 11(7)(a) of the first-tier tribunal rules makes a capacious decision not to engage with their representative to provide instructions. I say that the patient should not be left unrepresented and the representative should conduct the hearing on the basis that their implicit instructions are to test the legal test for the patient’s continued detention.

I decide that where a patient’s liberty is at stake, and where the patient will be neither present nor represented at the hearing, there is a significant risk that the disposal of the proceedings will involve an unlawful interference with the patient’s Article 5(4) rights. In such circumstances, if a tribunal is to proceed to dispose of the appeal, it must explain specifically how and why it concluded that doing so was in the interests of justice. It is not enough to simply state that it decided that it was so.

The UK's response to global tariffs on steel and aluminium
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-12)

The Business Secretary responds to the US imposing global tariffs on steel and aluminium from today (Wednesday 12 March).

Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said:

“It’s disappointing the US has today imposed global tariffs on steel and aluminium.

“We are focused on a pragmatic approach and are rapidly negotiating a wider economic agreement with the US to eliminate additional tariffs and to benefit UK businesses and our economy.

“Meanwhile we remain resolute in our support for UK industry. This Government is working with affected companies today, and I back industry’s application to the Trade Remedies Authority to investigate what further steps might be necessary to protect UK producers.

“I will continue to engage closely and productively with the US to press the case for UK business interests. We will keep all options on the table and won’t hesitate to respond in the national interest.”

Climate Change Levy: electrolytic hydrogen and energy context
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-26)

Consultation on the treatment of electrolytic hydrogen in Climate Change Levy and the changing energy context

At Spring Statement 2025, the government committed to removing Climate Change Levy (CCL) costs from electricity used in electrolysis to produce hydrogen. This will support the growth of low carbon electrolytic hydrogen production, which will play an important role in decarbonising the power system and hard to electrify industrial and transport sectors.

This consultation seeks views to determine the best legislative route to remove these CCL costs and ensure the commitment is delivered in a way that achieves government’s objectives whilst avoiding unintended consequences.

The government is also looking to the future and it is important for the UK’s tax system to remain agile and up to date with changing contexts. The wider energy landscape has changed significantly since CCL was introduced, and will continue to develop, therefore, the government also announced that it will conduct a wider review of CCL. To inform the scope of this review, this consultation seeks views on other areas where CCL may need to be reviewed to ensure it is aligned with developments in the changing energy landscape and the government’s clean power and net zero missions.

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.
