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 Golden Hour Response 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 Golden Hour Response 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 Reservists
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 Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is developing a new poverty measure called ‘Below Average Resources’ (BAR). This measure is based on the approach proposed by the Social Metrics Commission (SMC) (https://socialmetricscommission.org.uk).

The SMC approach provides a more expansive view of available resources (both savings and inescapable costs) than the income measurement adopted under the existing Households Below Average Income (HBAI) publication (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/households-below-average-income-hbai--2), and also proposes some methodological changes.

TTM03520 - Qualifying companies and ships: Restricted certificates
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-03)


Seagoing: Certification of ships

In order to qualify for tonnage tax, a ship must be certified for navigation at sea without significant restrictions as to the mode, location or circumstances of navigation. Restrictions on the certificate that limit the ship to navigating only
- on an occasional basis
- for a few months in a year
- in particular weather conditions
- within a minimal distance from coast or port of refuge
- within sheltered waters as defined by the Maritime & Coastguard Agency
preclude the ship from qualifying for tonnage tax.

Examples of such certificates are the Class VI or Class VI(A) certificates (or EC Class C certificates) that may be issued by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency to passenger ships engaged on domestic voyages within the UK.

These certificates impose a number of restrictions on when the ships may operate at sea. These restrictions may cover:
- where the ship operates - a ship with a Class VI(A) certificate may operate no more than 3 miles from land
- when a ship operates - a ship with a Class VI certificate may not operate in winter or at night
- how many passengers may be carried – a ship with a Class VI(A) certificate may not carry more than 50 passengers.
Ships that have been issued with these certificates are only certificated for navigation at sea if they are operating in accordance with the restrictions set out in the certificate. It follows that a ship with a Class VI certificate is not certified as seagoing if it is operational in winter or at night.

Companies operating sea going ships must have a Safety Management Certificate and each vessel must have a Document of Compliance in accordance with the ISM code – see TTM03515 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm03515).

For further details on certification of ships- see TTM15030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm15030).

Universal Periodic Review 50: UK Statement on Liberia
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-04)

UK Statement for Liberia's Universal Periodic Review. Delivered at the 50th session of the UPR in Geneva.

Thank you, Madame Vice President,

The United Kingdom thanks the Liberian delegation for setting out its efforts to protect human rights. We welcome the steps taken to make progress on reconciliation and transitional justice, including early steps to establish a War and Economic Crimes Court.

However, we remain concerned about ongoing discrimination against marginalised groups and continued barriers faced by women and girls in accessing their fundamental human rights, including continued high levels of gender-based violence, female genital mutilation and limited access to sexual and reproductive health and rights.

We recommend that Liberia:

Abolishes the death penalty, in line with obligations under the Second Optional Protocol to the ICCPR.

Protects the human rights of individuals belonging to marginalised groups by preventing discrimination, guaranteeing equal treatment under the law and ensuring full access to justice.

Fully complies with the Maputo Protocol, criminalising all forms of female genital mutilation.

The UK looks forward to continuing our work with the government, civil society organisations and human rights defenders from across the region to advance human rights in Liberia.

Thank you.

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 KnowNow Information 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 KnowNow Information 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
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.
Cattle: TSE surveillance statistics
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-27)

Statistics on the surveillance of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in cattle in the United Kingdom.

These documents provide statistics on the number of cases of TSE disease found through the active and passive disease surveillance of cattle in the United Kingdom.

The UK has BSE Negligible Risk Status. We have updated how we present BSE data to reflect this.

There are now 2 datasets:
- current statistics - updated when new cases occur
- legacy statistics - historical data that’s no longer updated
BSE statistics were divided into current and historical statistics after May 2025, when the UK was awarded BSE negligible risk status. Historical statistics will focus on the peak of the epidemic, while current statistics incorporate relevant information.

Cases of TSE disease identified in cattle from passive surveillance in United Kingdom have been recorded since 1986. The UK carried out limited active surveillance in cattle from 1999 to 2001. The European Union active surveillance programme started in July 2001.

The UK carries out active disease surveillance for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle. The testing programme includes cattle over 48 months of age which:
- die or are killed other than for human consumption (fallen cattle)
- are emergency slaughtered or show certain abnormalities at ante-mortem inspection
These age thresholds apply to cattle born in the United Kingdom or in other EU member states except Bulgaria and Romania. For cattle born elsewhere the age thresholds are 24 months for fallen cattle or emergency slaughtered cattle, and 30 months for healthy fallen cattle.

Passive disease surveillance takes place when an animal with clinical signs suspicious of a TSE disease is reported to Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), and further investigation determines whether the animal was affected by BSE or scrapie.
