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 Aegis Projects 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 Aegis Projects 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
- 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.

Licences to cage-trap and mark badgers for bovine TB vaccination
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-09)

Register for licences to cage-trap and mark badgers (Meles meles) for vaccinating them against bovine tuberculosis (TB) to help prevent the spread of disease.

Badgers can be given an injection of the badger Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccine to help prevent the spread of disease.

Badgers are a protected species, so you need a licence to capture them before they are vaccinated.

You also need a licence to temporarily mark a badger to show it has been vaccinated or assessed as unfit for vaccination.

This page gives details on how to register for the 2 licences:
- CL48 is issued by Defra and allows you to use cage traps to capture badgers
- CL49 is issued by Natural England and allows you to temporarily mark badgers
You need to register and b approved as an authorised person to use these licences.

If your registration is successful, you will receive the relevant licence for the activity you plan to do (either cage trapping only or cage trapping and marking). For example, if you’re approved to cage trap and mark badgers, you will receive both licences.

You should refer to the guidance ‘How to cage-trap and mark badgers to enable vaccination to prevent the spread of bovine TB (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cage-trap-and-mark-badgers-to-enable-vaccination-to-prevent-the-spread-of-bovine-tb/how-to-cage-trap-vaccinate-and-mark-badgers-to-control-bovine-tb)’ for further advice.

How to register

Register by completing the form linked on this page.

You cannot act under either of these licences until you’ve received written confirmation that you are an authorised person.

Before you register you must:
- complete the Bovine TB: Badger vaccination training (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/bovine-tb-badger-vaccination-training)
- be satisfied you can meet all conditions in the licences you plan to use
- be satisfied you can meet all conditions in the Additional conditions for CL48 and CL49: to protect land, species and habitats when cage-trapping or marking badgers (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/licences-to-cage-trap-and-mark-badgers-for-bovine-tb-vaccination/additional-conditions-for-cl48-and-cl49-to-protect-land-species-and-habitats-when-cage-trapping-or-marking-badgers) relevant to your planned activities
If your registration is unsuccessful, or you’re not eligible to use CL48 or CL49, you can apply to Natural England for an individual licence to take and mark badgers to enable vaccination (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/bovine-tb-control-licence-to-take-and-mark-badgers-to-enable-vaccination). Contact Natural England at xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

You can only register between 1 April and 30 November every year.

Defra is responsible for the authorised person registration process.

This report presents the findings from a qualitative research project exploring tax evasion among small businesses.

The project was conducted by the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) with support from Walnut on behalf of HMRC. The project consisted of 18 in-depth interviews with small, micro and nano businesses who had recently had a tax enquiry with HMRC.

The research sought to understand the types of tax behaviours that lead to enquiries, the drivers of these behaviours and the attitudes of small businesses towards tax evasion.
Research into construction product standards and testing
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-21)

Publication of research into construction product standards and testing.

The Grenfell Public Inquiry criticised the past failure to release building safety research. The government is acting by publishing this report.

The initial research was completed in November 2020, to inform whether there was merit in establishing a work programme to look at construction product standards.

This was superseded by the establishment of the National Regulator for Construction Products (within the Office for Product Safety and Standards) and the Building Safety Regulator.

These two new regulators oversee standards mentioned in statutory advice. This research report was shared with both bodies to inform their future work programme.

The government has published a consultation on proposals for system wide reform of the construction products regime. Proposals include greater oversight of the standards setting process by the regulator, increased transparency of the standards setting process, and measures to drive the quality of standards.

CISR83040 - Compliance: Regulation 9(5) directions: co-ordination with Regulation 13(2) determinations
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-29)


Where the contractor does not dispute the obligation to make a deduction and the failure to do so, any representations for a direction under Regulation 9(5) can still be considered until a Regulation 13(2) determination is finalised. Once a Regulation 13(2) determination has been finalised it will not be possible to consider a direction under Regulation 9(5). A Regulation 13(2) determination will be considered finalised when it is not appealed or is no longer within the time limit for an appeal, or an appeal has been concluded.

Where a Regulation 13(2) determination is issued and a Regulation 9 is not raised as a ground for appeal, there is no requirement for a Regulation 9 to be considered.

Where the contractor disputes the obligation to make a deduction, a Regulation 13(2) determination should be issued.

Example

A contractor may initially contend that no deduction was due because the payment was for an operation outside the scope of the Scheme.In this case the first step is to determine whether there was a legal duty to apply the Scheme to the payment in question. This may be achieved either by direct agreement between the contractor and HMRC without recourse to issuing a determination under Regulation 13(2), in which case a direction under Regulation 9(5) may then be considered as to whether the failure can be viewed as an ‘error made in good faith’.It may be necessary to issue a determination under Regulation 13(2) to settle a ‘scope’ issue as the matter may go forward either for an internal review, or be heard before the Tribunal.

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.
