Yorkshire duo arrested in recycling fraud investigation
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-18)

Environment Agency officers worked with South Yorkshire Police to apprehend the individuals

Two men have been arrested for conspiracy to commit fraud and money laundering, the Environment Agency announced today (Tuesday 18 November 2025).

In raids last week, Environment Agency officers worked with South Yorkshire Police to apprehend the individuals as part of an investigation into fraudulent waste exporting claims, which is a way often used by organised criminal gangs to launder money.

A 59-year-old man was arrested at a property in Doncaster while a 39-year-old man, from Doncaster, was also detained.

After being interviewed, the suspects have been released on conditional bail, which includes not being able to contact each other, pending ongoing investigations and evidence gathered during the arrests will support action going forward.

Lauren Pigg, Deputy Director for Waste Markets and Shipments at the Environment Agency, said:

We are calling time on fraudulent activity in the recycling sector, which harms law-abiding businesses and threatens our environment.

Our teams are now thoroughly examining all the evidence gathered in these raids to help progress this investigation and deliver justice.

The Packaging Producer Responsibility Regulations were introduced to oblige the producers of waste packaging made from materials such as plastic, glass and cardboard to contribute towards the financial cost of recycling and disposing the waste.

Businesses that meet the criteria are required to prove they have made a financial contribution by purchasing credits, known as Packaging Export Recovery Notes, from waste reprocessors or exporters. However, the credits have a monetary value which means organised criminal gangs can look to infiltrate the sector and engage in high value fraud and money laundering.

Last year, the Environment Agency launched a new Economic Crime Unit (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ensuring-crime-doesnt-pay-new-economic-crime-unit-to-tackle-money-laundering-and-carry-out-financial-investigations) to boost its efforts to tackle money laundering and carry out financial investigations in the waste sector.

Conducted by the Investigations and Disruption Team who are dedicated to investigating waste fraud, this arrest marks another vital step in their work, in partnership with the Economic Crime Unit, to ensure those working in waste management do the right thing.

If a member of the public has any information that may assist with this investigation, they should call the Environment Agency’s 24-hour hotline on xx-xxxx-xxxx. They can also report it anonymously via Crimestoppers on xx-xxxx-xxxx or their website (https://crimestoppers-uk.org/).
ECSH44550 - Application Fee
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-01)


When a business registers for anti-money laundering supervision, it must pay HMRC an initial application fee, alongside any other supervisory fees due (such as premises fees, approvals or fit and proper test fees).

This fee is imposed to cover the costs of scrutinising new applications to register (applying for and processing annual declaration is a more streamlined process, for both HMRC and for supervised businesses).

The application fee will also apply to businesses who have had their registration cancelled for failing to pay their fees on time.

Small business reduction

If the business can evidence a turnover less than £5,000, they can apply for a ‘small business’ reduction, which waivers this fee. See ECSH44725 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh44725) for more information.

Asymmetric information and digital technology adoption: evidence from Senegal
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-02)

Digital technologies have potential to increase firm productivity but they can come bundled with data observability, which can affect adoption.

Abstract

The findings in this paper highlight the crucial role of information embedded in digital technologies, as it magnifies gains for adopting firms but can deter initial adoption.

This paper is part of the Private Enterprise Development in Low-Income Countries (PEDL) programme.

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 Great Ormond Street Hospital 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 Great Ormond Street Hospital 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
- Armed Forces Charities
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
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.

How defence contributes to the prosperity of the UK and supports the UK economy
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-21)

The impact of defence spending is felt in every region of the country through its support of 260,000 UK jobs and nearly £20-billion investment into UK industries every year.

The UK defence sector is a national success story, a world leader in defence capability, supporting our own armed forces and those of our allies and partners by delivering unique export opportunities across the world.

Pumping £20-billion into industry, defence’s impact is felt in every region of the UK. From a small medium enterprise supplier building crucial F-35 equipment, to major employers supporting whole communities through major defence procurement projects. Defence strengthens the union by creating rewarding, highly skilled jobs and encouraging investment in every region of the UK. Defence makes a significant contribution to the UK skills base by being one of the nation’s largest employer of apprentices and the positive impact of defence on UK science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) capability.

As a uniquely national sector with a worldwide reach, the work of defence underpins the government’s industrial and economic strategies and continues to drive British innovation on the international stage.

Changing the way government allocates Disabled Facilities Grant funding to local authorities in England
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-22)

We are seeking views on proposals to change the way government allocates funding for the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) to local authorities in England.

Government has concluded a review of the way we allocate Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) funding to local authorities in England. This follows a 2018 independent review of the DFG. It recommended that the way government allocates funding to local authorities should be updated.

We are now consulting on a new approach that will:
- better support local authorities to meet their statutory duty to provide adaptations
- ensure funding is better aligned with local demand
We welcome responses from local authorities across England and organisations and individuals with an interest.

This consultation fulfils our commitment to review and consult on a new DFG allocations formula in 2025, as set out in the Better Care Fund policy framework (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/better-care-fund-policy-framework-2025-to-2026).

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 Zone Vale Ltd T/A Banbury Builders 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 Zone Vale Ltd T/A Banbury Builders 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
- Discounts
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.
