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 Thorntons Law LLP 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 Thorntons Law LLP 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
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.

Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office consular data
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-27)

This series brings together all Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) consular data documents.

This dataset set contains monthly data on consular assistance provided by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). It also includes data from the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) until August 2020.

From 2019 onwards, the data is reported at country level as opposed to by embassy, high commission or consulate.

As part of a wider digital change programme, the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office introduced a new case management system on 16 October 2023. The new system captures information about services provided in a different way to legacy systems. As a result of this work, we have re-categorised the assistance service categories reported from October 2023.

The FCDO provides consular assistance globally to UK nationals through a network of diplomatic missions responsible for geographic areas. Our diplomatic missions record assistance cases for the region which they cover, rather than the incident location.

We also offer consular assistance to Commonwealth nationals in non-Commonwealth countries, where they do not have any diplomatic or consular representation. Some of this assistance may be included in the data that we publish. From 1 January 2021 unrepresented EU nationals are no longer entitled to seek consular assistance from UK missions overseas.

It is not mandatory for UK nationals to report incidents to the FCDO, or one of its diplomatic missions. The data we provide only cover incidents where we have offered consular assistance.

Where the figures are 5 or fewer, we do not publish a breakdown of the numbers, as this risks identifying the individuals involved. To release this data would contravene one of the data protection principles, and sections 40(2) and 40(3) of the Freedom of Information Act apply. The Act states that the processing of personal data should be fair and lawful. It is the fairness aspect which would be breached by disclosure, so there is no public interest test to apply.

Data is accurate and volumes of services are correct at time of reporting. Consular service volumes are dynamic and historic cases can change previously-published service volumes.

This consultation document sets out our intended inspection programme for policing between April 2025 and March 2029.

This consultation document from His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) sets out our intended inspection programme for policing between April 2025 and March 2029.

We want to make sure that we continue to focus our inspection work on what matters most to the public. We are asking for views on whether our programme covers the right themes and areas of policing activity.

In particular, we would be grateful to receive your responses to the following consultation questions:

1. Do the proposed thematic inspections cover the topics that are currently of most concern to you? Which do you believe are the most important or urgent?

2. Do you agree with the proposed changes to the PEEL assessment framework?

3. Are there any significant new or emerging problems in policing that we should consider when we inspect individual police forces?

These questions are repeated in the body of the consultation. At the end, we explain how you can give us your views.

Drought permits issued to Yorkshire Water
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-11)

Drought permits allow Yorkshire Water to conserve water in reservoirs and secure public drinking water supplies.

The Environment Agency has issued drought permits that will allow Yorkshire Water to conserve water in 19 reservoirs and secure public drinking water supplies.

The water company’s current licences require them to release a certain amount of water from the reservoirs to maintain the health of the river. The permits allow them to reduce the amount released to conserve water in the reservoirs and secure water supplies, while still maintaining necessary environmental protection for the river.

The 19 permits cover the South and the North West group of reservoirs and will last for 6 months.

Serious deficiency in water supplies

Claire Barrow, Environment Agency Yorkshire Drought Manager, said:

Although the recent rainfall in Yorkshire is welcome, more sustained rain is needed over several months to refill rivers and reservoirs, without which water supplies will continue to decline.

These permits will allow Yorkshire Water’s reservoir stocks to remain for longer, so protects that level of public supply.

We only issue a permit if we are content that there are clear plans in place to mitigate any impact on the environment, along with strong evidence from Yorkshire Water of their ongoing commitment to reduce leaks and improve water efficiency.

We will continue to work closely with Yorkshire Water as it develops the long-term solutions to protect water resources while drought conditions continue across Yorkshire.

Yorkshire moved to drought status in June

Yorkshire officially moved to drought status on 12 June 2025 following six months of below average rainfall combined with high temperatures, which affected most of the country.

Reservoir levels across Yorkshire are notably low. The exceptional shortage of rainfall this year, and the possibility of a shortage continuing over the winter, led to Yorkshire Water applying for these permits to help alleviate water supply concerns.

To reduce unnecessary use of water and protect customer supplies and the environment, Yorkshire Water’s customers have been subject to a Temporary Use Ban (TUB) since 11 July amid a prolonged spell of warm and dry weather in the UK.

Yorkshire Water will need to inform the Environment Agency in advance of using any of the permits. They will also need to carry out monitoring and mitigation to assess and manage potential environmental impacts.

Items prisoners can buy in prison: national product list
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-05)

Prisoners can buy non-essential items using their earnings or private cash. Prisons choose which items to stock from the national product list.

While in prison, prisoners can buy items like snacks, toiletries, and stationery.

They place orders on a form often called the ‘canteen form’. This can be in a paper or digital format.

Each prison selects what it will stock from a national product list, which includes up to 1,000 items. They choose products based on security guidelines and what works best for their establishment and environment.

The national product list is updated 4 times a year, based on:
- requests from prisoners and staff
- popular items/shopping trends
- selling prices
- compliance with prison rules
Prices are set centrally, so all prisons charge the same for an item.

Products are sold at the recommended retail price (RRP) or less where possible.

We regularly compare our prices with local convenience stores to make sure they are fair and consistent with the wider community.

In some circumstances an individual may receive Case 6 split year treatment if they were non-UK resident in the previous tax year; because they worked full-time overseas, and they cease to work full-time overseas in the tax year to which split year treatment applies.

They must:
- be UK resident for the tax year in question
- satisfied the third automatic overseas test for that year, or
- if the year was 2012-2013, worked full-time overseas for the whole of the tax year under the rules in force prior to the SRT
- have been UK resident for 1 or more of the 4 tax years before the year in which they are not UK resident under the previous bullet point. So may have to consider 5 years before the relevant year
- be UK resident in the tax year following the year in question (whether or not it is a split year)
- satisfy the overseas work criteria for a relevant period

The Global Gender Distortions Index (GGDI)
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-23)

The Global Gender Distortions Index (GGDI) measures the losses in aggregate productivity that gender-based misallocation imposes.

Abstract

The authors propose, the Global Gender Distortions Index (GGDI), which measures the losses in aggregate productivity that gender-based misallocation imposes. Their index allows them to separately identify labour demand distortions (e.g., discrimination in hiring for formal jobs) from labour supply distortions (e.g., frictions that discourage women’s labour force participation) and can be computed using data on labour income and job types.

Their methodology also highlights an important distinction between welfare-relevant misallocation and the consequences on aggregate GDP if misallocation arises between market work and non-market activities. To showcase the versatility of their index, they analyse gender misallocation within countries over time, across countries over the development spectrum, and across local labour markets within countries.

Kryus Limited

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 Kryus 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 Kryus 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
- 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.
