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 Park Lane Centre 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;

Our new overview sets out the Open Innovation Team’s approach and offer

The Open Innovation Team (OIT) has published an updated introduction to its services “The Open Innovation Team: Who we are, what we do, and how we can help” showcasing how we support colleagues across government to generate analysis and ideas for policy.

The deck highlights our track record of delivering over 150 projects since our creation in 2016, engaging more than 2,500 experts and saving government more than £5 million in 2023–24 alone.

Operating like an in-house consultancy, the OIT is a government team that works on a cost-recovery basis to deliver bespoke support across all stages of policy development - from early scoping through to implementation planning. The deck sets out our core services - expert engagement, research synthesis and policy development - as well as our wider offer including training, events and our new Evaluation Services Unit.

We have five university partners – Brunel, Essex, Lancaster, Surrey and York – but we work with academics and industry experts worldwide.

If you have a complex policy challenge, get in touch to find out how we can support you. We’re also happy to present at team meetings or events – contact us to find out more.

Arrangements on how to manage flood risk in the River Arun internal drainage district (IDD).

Internal drainage boards (IDBs) are public bodies that manage water levels in some areas where there is a special need for drainage. We call these areas internal drainage districts (IDDs).

The Environment Agency inherited the administration of 6 IDDs in Sussex. Of these, 5 of the 6 IDDs have now been abolished. The remaining IDD is the River Arun. The Environment Agency will continue to act as the IDB until an alternative route forward can be determined with the stakeholders within the IDD.

Defence personnel NHS commissioning statistics: index
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-13)

Bi-annual statistics on the number of serving UK armed forces personnel and civilian personnel with a Defence Medical Services registration.

After consultation, publication of these statistics has ceased.

Consultation: Cessation of Defence personnel NHS commissioning statistics (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/cessation-of-defence-personnel-nhs-commissioning-statistics).

Under the Health and Care Act 2022, 42 Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) were established on 1 July 2022. These boards replaced Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs).

The December 2022 publication (covering data as at 1 October 2022) of this statistic will therefore present information at ICB and sub ICB level instead of Strategic Information Partnerships and Clinical Commissioning Group.

In addition, after seeking feedback from users on proposed changes to this publication, we will be making the below changes with effect from the December 2022 publication:

1. Due to very small changes seen between six-monthly publications the frequency will be reduced to an annual publication, presenting data as at 1 October each year.

2. To avoid duplication, combined tables presenting the total numbers of armed forces and civilians (presented as ‘all persons’) will be removed. Armed forces and civilian numbers will still be presented separately.

3. Single service splits will be removed from all tables. Armed forces totals will remain.

4. Tables will be made clearer by removing the +/- columns that indicate where top level numbers have changed by more than 5% since the last publication.

5. All tables with breakdowns at Local Area Authority level (England and Wales) and District Council level (Northern Ireland) will be removed.

6. Annex F - tables by Defence Primary Healthcare Region will be removed.

This notice sets out the approach and timeline for creating and publishing guidance for monitoring and reporting public sector emissions.

To support the public sector to deliver its emissions reduction ambitions, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero will:
- conduct research to systematically map the different reporting approaches available and identify what decarbonisation outcomes they can achieve
- consult on policy approaches to gain external input to shape policy outputs
- publish guidance to support public sector organisations
We will update this page with relevant public sector emissions monitoring and reporting outputs as this work progresses.

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 PFM Intelligence Group UK 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 PFM Intelligence Group UK 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
- 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.

Parents or intended parents must have or expect to have responsibility for the upbringing of the child.

If the employee was an adoptive parent

If they or their partner was an adoptive parent, an employee is eligible:
- after the adoption order was granted
- before the adoption order was made, if the child was placed with them for adoption unless the placement was disrupted (for example, being temporarily placed elsewhere) or stopped
If the employee had a baby with the help of a surrogate parent

If they or their partner were a parent of a child born to a surrogate, an employee is eligible:
- after a parental order was made

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.

The full pre-entry declaration procedure operates at the UK frontier or at a Designated Export Place (DEP). It is required for certain controlled goods, but may be used for any goods. Declarations must be made electronically under the UCC. Although in rare and exceptional cases - for example for merchandise carried in baggage - customs may manually input your declaration, which will be submitted to the National Clearance Hub (NCH) for processing to CHIEF. This is known as a Customs Input Entry (CIE). Clearance of CIE declarations will take longer to process than other export entries.

CIRD112310 - R&D Tax Reliefs: reformed reliefs: new RDEC: expenditure incurred before scheme began
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-28)


New RDEC applies to accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2024. Qualifying Chapter 1A expenditure will generally be eligible for relief in the accounting period in which it receives a tax deduction, even if it was incurred in a previous accounting period before the introduction of new RDEC. Please note that expenditure must be qualifying Chapter 1A expenditure under CTA09/Chapter 1A as it has effect for the accounting period in which the claim is made, regardless of when the expenditure was incurred.

The appropriate rate of the relief is given by CTA09/S1042G and applies to all expenditure which is an allowable deduction in the period and is qualifying expenditure under CTA09/Chapter 1A.

This is different from the treatment which applied to old RDEC and applies to ERIS. This is because new RDEC was introduced by an entirely new Chapter which included the applicable rate and applies to accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2024, see FA24/Sch1/Para 5 and Para16. The old RDEC scheme was abolished with effect for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2024 and claims under that scheme cannot be made in those periods, see FA24/Sch1/Para 2 and Para 16.
