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.

1.1 We Marcus Donald People 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

Communicating with the regulator
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-07)

Our expectations about how people communicate with the regulator, including the actions we consider unreasonable or unacceptable.

The Regulator of Social Housing is committed to providing clear and prompt responses to people who make contact by telephone, email, or letter, and to dealing appropriately with information supplied to the regulator about registered providers.

In light of that commitment, RSH will consider the substance of any information supplied to it regardless of the behaviour of the person supplying it. However, the regulator also has a duty to protect its staff and ensure that it can continue to function within its available resources. The statement on this page therefore sets out the regulator’s approach to the few individuals whose actions or behaviour we consider unacceptable and do not expect our staff to endure.

CTM08750 - Corporation Tax: change of ownership: companies with investment business: significant increase in capital
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-06)


CTA10/S677 (2) and S688 to S691

For the purposes of CTA10/S677 whether there is a significant increase in the amount of the company's capital is determined in accordance with S688 to S691.

The test involves a comparison of:

Amount A (CTA10/S689 (1)), which is the lower of
- the amount of the company’s capital immediately before the change of ownership, and
- the highest amount over a 60 day minimum period for the year before the change,
with

Amount B (CTA10/S690), which is the highest amount for a 60-day minimum period in the five (formerly three) years beginning with the change in ownership. See F(2)A17/SCH4/PARA83.

For changes in company ownership occurring on or after 1 April 2014, there is a 'significant increase' in the amount of the company's share capital if
- Amount B exceeds Amount A by £1 million or more, and
- Amount B is at least 125 per cent of Amount A
For any changes happening before 1 April 2014, there is a significant increase in the amount of the company’s share capital if
- Amount B exceeds Amount A by £1 million or more, or
- Amount B is at least twice Amount A.
For these purposes a company's capital is the aggregate of:
- the amount of the paid-up share capital, including any share premium,
- the outstanding amount of any debts as defined in CTA10/S453 (meaning of 'loan creditor') including any interest on those debts, and
- the amount of any redeemable loan capital.
Capital is to be expressed in sterling and rounded up to the nearest pound.

Any conversion into sterling should be at the rate prevailing at the time the capital was introduced or, in the case of debt, when it was incurred. Capital is always to be included at its sterling historic cost. Changes in the value of sterling will not therefore affect the calculation of the increase in capital.

Pet smuggling crackdown with new law
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-02)

Puppy smuggling bill (Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Bill) receives Royal Assent.

Animals will be protected from cruel smugglers under new laws cracking down on the vile low-welfare pet trade.

Deceitful pet traders will no longer be able to cram vehicles with dozens of pets for sale. The new law will cut the limit to just five pets per vehicle and ensure that pets travelling separately from their owner do so within five days of their owner’s travel.

The Government will also be able to protect vulnerable animals from suffering through lengthy journeys in poor conditions by banning the import of dogs and cats under six months old, those that have been mutilated (such as those that have cropped ears or have been declawed), and those that are heavily pregnant. These measures will be subject to appropriate exemptions.

Animal Welfare Minister Baroness Hayman said:

This Government pledged in its manifesto to end puppy smuggling, and this Act does exactly that.

We’re strengthening the rules on pet travel to help ensure that animals imported into the country for sale are healthy, treated with care, and transported humanely.

This legislation is an important step forward in protecting both pets and prospective pet owners from unnecessary suffering at the hands of heartless traders.

By making the trade less profitable and easier to detect, we’ll disrupt those who profit from animal suffering and responsible breeders who prioritise welfare will be able to compete on a level playing field.

Pet owners will have greater confidence that pets available for purchase have not been sourced through illegal or low-welfare routes. This reduces the risk of families facing the emotional and financial burden of caring for pets that have been exposed to such cruelty.

Liberal Democrat MP Danny Chambers, who introduced the legislation via a Private Members’ Bill said:

As a vet, I’ve treated many dogs with cruelly cropped ears or docked tails, leaving them physically scarred and emotionally traumatised. Knowing this Bill will help us put a stop to this abuse and have a bigger impact on animal welfare than I could possibly have achieved in a lifetime treating individual animals demonstrates how important this legislation will prove to be.

Thanks to support from Defra, animal welfare organisations and pet lovers across the country, we got the Animal Welfare Bill through the Commons, through the Lords, and today passed into law.

The Department will now start work to implement these reforms and deliver the relevant secondary legislation.

This comes ahead of the Animal Welfare Strategy due to be published this year.

Man who sexually abused teenagers has sentence increased
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-14)

A man who sexually abused two teenagers has had his sentence increased following an intervention by the Solicitor General.

Jacob Corrie [31] from Carlisle has had his sentence increased by four years after it was referred to the Court of Appeal by the Solicitor General, Lucy Rigby KC MP, under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.

The court heard that Corrie met his first victim over social media when he was 19. Corrie sexually abused the vulnerable boy, who Corrie knew was 14 years old, over two years between 2013 and 2015. Corrie also sent sexual messages via social media.

Corrie sexually abused the second teenager in 2013, before threatening her not to tell anyone. After the incident, Corrie sent a series of sexual messages to the victim claiming he had compromising images of them.

The court also heard Corrie had a previous conviction from 2020 after he sent messages to the second victim threatening to send compromising photos to her friends and family unless she sent more pictures.

In a victim personal statement, one of the teenagers said they do not feel safe in their daily life and suffer from constant fear, anxiety and depression.

Corrie initially denied the offences before pleading guilty and accepting that he was aware the victims were both aged under 16.

He admitted to nine counts of sexual activity with a child, eight counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and two counts of sexual communication with a child.

The Solicitor General Lucy Rigby KC MP said:

Jacob Corrie’s crimes were appalling. I commend Cumbria police for their comprehensive investigation, and I welcome the court’s decision to increase his sentence.

On 16 April 2025, Corrie was sentenced to six years and four months’ imprisonment Carlisle Crown Court.

On 11 July, his sentence was revised to 10 years and four months after it was referred to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.

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 Penham Excel 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 Penham Excel 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
- UK Cadets
- 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.
