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.

An employee is a salesman for a company with a major export trade to France. He knows that he will not be able to perform his duties properly unless he improves his command of the French language. He enrols in a night school course for one evening each week. He asks for a deduction for the cost of the course.

No deduction is due. The employee’s duties as a salesman do not extend to learning French at night school, see EIM31650 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim31650).

Independent commission into adult social care: terms of reference
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-11)

Terms of reference for Baroness Casey's independent commission into adult social care.

The government has published the terms of reference for Baroness Casey of Blackstock’s independent commission into adult social care. The commission will form part of the critical first steps towards delivering a national care service.

The terms of reference set out that the commission will report directly to the Prime Minister and will be split over 2 phases:

phase 1, reporting in 2026, will focus on how we can make the most of existing resources to improve people’s lives over the medium term

phase 2, reporting by 2028, will then consider the long-term transformation of adult social care, setting us on the road to fundamental reform that will build a social care system fit for the future

The commission should start a national conversation about what adult social care should deliver for citizens and build consensus with the public on how best to meet the current and future needs of the population.

An easy read (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/independent-commission-into-adult-social-care-terms-of-reference-easy-read) version of the terms of reference is also available.

Bartonella: diagnostic services
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-22)

Information on Bartonella and how to obtain diagnostic services.

Background

Bartonella bacteria cause several diseases in humans.

The most common human infections are:
- cat scratch disease, caused by Bartonella henselae, usually transmitted by cat fleas
- trench fever, caused by Bartonella quintana, transmitted by human body lice
- Carrion’s disease, caused by Bartonella bacilliformis, transmitted by sandflies
Other Bartonella species may also cause human disease and have been found in various animals including cats, dogs and rats.

Bartonella infections mostly occur worldwide except Bartonella bacilliformis, which only occurs in certain parts of South America.

Immunocompromised people are more at risk. Bartonella species, especially B. henselae and B. quintana, are causes of culture negative endocarditis.

Transmission of infection

Several insect vectors are or may be involved in transmission of infection, including:
- cat fleas (B. henselae)
- human body lice (B. quintana)
- sand flies (B. bacilliformis)
Testing for Bartonella

Testing for Bartonella should be considered if there is a compatible clinical syndrome (fever, fatigue, lymphadenopathy, skin lesions, culture negative endocarditis) in a patient with a potential exposure (cat exposure for B. henselae, travel to endemic area for other Bartonella species). Testing should be considered if there is a compatible clinical syndrome where other investigations are negative, even if there is no known exposure.

Bartonella spp. are fastidious organisms and rarely grow using conventional culture methods. Diagnosis of Bartonella infection can be made through histopathological examination of specimens (special staining is required), PCR, sequencing (including 16S rRNA)and serological methods.

Tests available at RIPL

The Rare and Imported Pathogens Laboratory (RIPL (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/rare-and-imported-pathogens-laboratory-ripl)) provides PCR testing for Bartonella spp., and serological testing for Bartonella henselae.

Antibodies may take some time to rise in acute infection. An initial negative result should therefore be interpreted with caution and a follow up sample sent 2 weeks after the initial sample if still indicated, to look for seroconversion.

We call on the Sudanese authorities to fully cooperate with humanitarian response: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-06)

Statement by Ambassador James Kariuki, UK Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on the protection of civilians in Sudan.

First, the United Kingdom expresses its alarm at the latest IPC report confirming that famine is rapidly spreading in Sudan.

As we’ve heard, children are acutely malnourished, preventable disease is spreading and basic services collapsing. On current projections, over 630,000 people face famine by May 2025.

Urgent action is needed now or more lives will be lost.

We are concerned that the Sudanese authorities have halted their participation in the IPC system in response to this report. Continuing to deny the food insecurity spreading across Sudan will only exacerbate suffering.

We call on the authorities to fully cooperate with the humanitarian response.

Second, we reiterate our support for bold international action, including by the UN, to tackle the humanitarian crisis.

In November, the UK doubled its aid commitment to Sudan and the region to almost $140m.

We call on the international community to step up support to both the UN and Sudanese local responders on the front line.

Third, President, we know that these devastating IPC figures are driven by the ongoing conflict and poor humanitarian access. It is within the power of the warring parties to prevent a deepening of this man-made crisis.

We welcome the Sudanese Armed Forces agreement to establish humanitarian supply hubs and extend permissions for the Adre crossing, which should be sustained.

But humanitarian access needs to be expanded to all civilians in need. This includes enabling other access routes, including through South Sudan and cross-line.

We also encourage the authorising of further humanitarian hubs, including in areas held by the Rapid Support Forces.

We urge both sides to lift all bureaucratic impediments and to put in place necessary safety guarantees for aid workers. And we fully condemn the killing of three WFP staff members in December and call for a thorough investigation.

President, to conclude, with excess deaths potentially reaching into the millions, the latest IPC warning should be a rallying call for action to end this conflict now and to scale up humanitarian support.

In 2025, this Council and the international community must work together to bring an end to this dark chapter for Sudan and to forge a pathway towards lasting peace.

CG71370 - Leases: commutation of rent where landlord is a freeholder
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-21)


The following example illustrates the situation where

the capital sum is received by a landlord who is a freeholder or a leaseholder under a long lease,

the payment is made in commutation of the rent due under the lease, and

the terms of the lease provide for the possibility of commutation of the rent.

The calculations would have been the same if the tenant had paid the capital sum for the waiver of certain of the terms of the lease rather than in commutation of the rent.

On 30 June 2013, Mr B bought the freehold of a property for £50,000. On 31 October 2017, he granted a 21 year lease of the property in return for a premium of £20,000. The rent payable under the lease was £5,000 a year. One of the terms of the lease was that the tenant could commute the rent for any period on the payment of a lump sum.

On 31 October 2019, the tenant exercised the right to commute the rent and paid £35,000 to Mr B. As a result, no further rent was payable for the remaining 19 years of the lease.

The Valuation Office Agency reported the following values:

the right to receive rent for the period 31 October 2017 to 31 October 2019 (the period during which rent was actually paid): £7,500;

the value of the reversion at the end of the lease: £17,500.

The gain arising to Mr B on the grant of the lease, recomputed following the payment for commutation of the rent, is calculated as follows.
- the right to receive rent for the period 31 October 1989 to 31 October 1991 (the period during which rent was actually paid): £7,500;
- the value of the reversion at the end of the lease: £17,500.
The gain arising to Mr B on the grant of the lease, recomputed following the payment for commutation of the rent, is calculated as follows.

Amount chargeable as property income

As per CG70900 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg70900).

The total premiums received are £20,000 + £35,000 = £55,000. However, separate calculations of the amounts chargeable as property income are needed. The actual premium of £20,000 was paid for the grant of a 21 year lease; the deemed premium of £35,000 is treated as having been paid for a 19 year lease (the period of the actual lease to which the commutation relates).

P x [(50 - 20) / 50]

P is the amount of the premium

Y is the number of complete years (other than the first) in the term of the lease

£20,000 x [(£50-20) / 50]

= £20,000 x 0.6

= £12,000

£35,000 x [(£50-18) / 50]

= £35,000 x 0.64

= £22,400

Total

= £12,000 + £22,400

= £34,400

Allowable expenditure (part disposal formula)

Acquisition cost x [a / (A+B)]

a in the numerator (the top part of the fraction) is the amount of the premium not chargeable as property income;

A in the denominator (the bottom part of the fraction) is the full amount of the premium;

B is the value retained at the time of the part disposal

= £50,000 x [£20,600 / (£55,000 + (£7,500 + £17,500))]

= £50,000 x 0.2575

= £12,875

These tables show the sum of rents from UK property, the interest from banks, building societies and other deposit takers, UK dividends and other forms of investment income.

These tables only cover individuals with some liability to tax.

These statistics are classified as accredited official statistics.

You can find more information about these statistics and collated tables for the latest and previous tax years on the Statistics about personal incomes page. (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/personal-incomes-statistics)

Supporting documentation on the methodology used to produce these statistics is available in the release for each tax year.

Note: comparisons over time may be affected by changes in methodology. Notably, there was a revision to the grossing factors in the 2018 to 2019 publication, which is discussed in the commentary and supporting documentation for that tax year.

Rough sleeping snapshot in England: autumn 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-15)

Statistical release about the annual single night snapshot of the number of people sleeping rough in local authorities across England.

The annual rough sleeping snapshot provides information about the estimated number of people sleeping rough on a single night between 1 October and 30 November each year and some basic demographics details (age, gender, nationality). These statistics provide a way of estimating the number of people sleeping rough across England on a single night and assessing change over time.

Local authorities across England take an annual autumn snapshot of rough sleeping using either a count-based estimate of visible rough sleeping, an evidence-based estimate meeting with local partners, or an evidence-based estimate meeting including a spotlight count in specific areas. This methodology has been in place since 2010. The snapshot is collated by outreach workers, local charities and community groups and is independently verified by Homeless Link (https://www.homeless.org.uk/).

Alongside these statistics, we are also publishing the Rough Sleeping Data Framework (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rough-sleeping-data-framework-december-2024) which uses more frequent and more detailed management information about people sleeping rough to help us better understand how far rough sleeping is prevented wherever possible, and where it does occur it is rare, brief, and non-recurring.
