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 Tewkesbury Borough Council 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 Tewkesbury Borough Council 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:

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.

IHTM13011 - Investigation of form IHT401: General
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


From 6 April 2025, for inheritance tax purposes, domicile is replaced by long-term UK residence and you can find details of these rules at IHTM47000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47000) and IHTM4 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47010)7010 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47010).

When a taxpayer or agent considers that a deceased person was domiciled outside the UK they must submit a form IHT400 together with a form IHT401. We will consider the question of domicile after the grant has been issued.

Pre-Grant will flag up the fact that a foreign domicile has been claimed before they issue form IHT421. The file will then be passed to Risk who will decide whether a domicile outside the UK can be accepted or should be referred to Compliance to take the matter up with the taxpayer or agent.

If a Double Taxation Convention (IHTM27161 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm27161)) applies and foreign tax has not been paid the initial calculation should be made without taking the convention into account. The caseworker should investigate the tax implications of the convention further at a later stage.
Evidence gaps for fisheries management plans (FMPs)

Details of the evidence gaps identified during the development of FMPs, which need to be addressed to support implementation of the plans.

Through the development of fisheries management plans (FMPs) (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/fisheries-management-plans), Defra has worked with industry and interested stakeholders across the fisheries sector to identify evidence gaps. These are areas where further information is needed on a range of relevant topics.

These evidence gaps need to be addressed to successfully implement the measures and goals set out in each FMP.

A collaborative approach is being taken across fisheries sectors to address the full range of FMP evidence gaps.

This spreadsheet collates all the evidence gaps identified across the FMPs published by Defra. It is an iterative document that will evolve as more FMPs are developed.

The FMPs covered by this document are:
- bass FMP
- Channel demersal non-quota species FMP
- cockle FMP
- crab and lobster FMP for English waters
- king scallop FMP
- North Sea and Channel sprat FMP
- queen scallop FMP
- Southern North Sea and English Channel flatfish FMP
- Southern North Sea and Channel skates and rays FMP
- Southern North Sea demersal non-quota species FMP

Heat mortality monitoring report, England: 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-02)

Annual reports on the surveillance of mortality during heat episodes.

Previous heat mortality monitoring reports from 2020 to 2023 are available (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/heat-mortality-monitoring-reports), and from 2019 to 2016 (published by Public Health England) (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/phe-heatwave-mortality-monitoring).

The UK Health Security Agency’s (UKHSA) heat mortality monitoring helps to provide information on deaths observed during heat episodes each year to inform public health actions.

We estimate heat-associated mortality in England using death registration data, comparing daily deaths during heat episodes with baseline daily deaths. For 2022 onwards, we also compare these observed mortality estimates with modelled estimates, which are based on the temperature-mortality relationship in previous summers.

Adverse heat events are increasing in frequency and intensity as a result of climate change. The health impacts of these events can be significant particularly for vulnerable populations.

The Adverse Weather and Health Plan (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/adverse-weather-and-health-plan) is intended to protect the population from heat-related harm to health.

Our statistical practice is regulated by the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR). The OSR sets the standards of trustworthiness, quality and value in the Code of Practice for Statistics (https://code.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/) that all producers of Official Statistics should adhere to.

Source: gov.uk (2025-11-18)

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is investigating suspected infringements of consumer law in relation to the use of time limited offers by Wayfair Stores Limited (‘Wayfair’) in the UK.

Case timetable

Case opening

17 November 2025: The CMA has opened an investigation into Wayfair’s compliance with consumer protection law.

The CMA is investigating whether time-limited sales ended when they said they would.

The CMA will now engage with Wayfair and gather evidence to consider whether the CMA thinks Wayfair has infringed consumer protection law.

At this initial stage, it should not be assumed that Wayfair has infringed consumer protection law and no finding has been made.
