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

- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;

NIM01405 - Class 1 structural overview: Zero-rate of contributions for Armed Forces Veterans: background
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-18)


At Budget 2020 the Chancellor announced a new secondary Class 1 National Insurance contributions relief for the employers of veterans.

This relief provides a zero-secondary Class 1 NICs rate on the earnings of Veterans for 12 months, starting from the first day of a Veterans first civilian employment after leaving HM Armed Forces. Subsequent and concurring employers can benefit from this relief for that period. To qualify, a Veteran must have completed at least one day of basic training in HM regular Armed Forces. This relief was initially available to employers between 6 April 2021 and 5 April 2024. Availability of the relief has since been extended and is now also available for tax years 6 April 2024 to 5 April 2025 and 6 April 2025 to 5 April 2026.

From 6 April 2022, employers are able to claim this relief in real time by applying a NIC category letter.

From 6 April 2021 to 5 April 2022, transitional arrangements were in place so that employers can claim the relief for that period from 6 April 2022 onwards.

The secondary Class 1 rate of National Insurance is 0% for employers of Veterans. The 0% rate will apply to earnings between the Secondary Threshold (ST) and the Veterans Upper Secondary Threshold (VUST).

See NIM01425 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-insurance-manual/nim01425) for further information about the VUST.

See NIM01415 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-insurance-manual/nim01415) for the definition of what constitutes a qualifying Veteran.

The change will apply to new and existing veterans.

A new category letter (see NIM01430 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-insurance-manual/nim01430)) has been introduced from the 2022 to 2023 tax year to correctly assess Class 1 NICs for Veterans.

Where the zero-rate of secondary Class 1 NICs applies the employer will remain a secondary contributor even if earnings are below the VUST. This means they will continue to be required to meet all secondary contributor obligations, including paying the apprenticeship levy and any statutory payments due (if they are the liable employer).

The earnings will still remain part of the secondary contributor’s pay bill for the purposes of Apprenticeship Levy (see ALM07000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/apprenticeship-levy/alm07000)).
Otters: licence to capture and transport those trapped in fisheries to prevent damage (CL36)
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-01)

Get a licence to capture and transport live Eurasian otters (Lutra lutra) that are trapped in fisheries to prevent damage.

This licence allows you to catch, move and release otters trapped inside fishery fencing as soon as possible to stop them causing serious damage to fisheries. This licence only applies to fisheries that have appropriate fencing around them designed to keep otters out (see annex C of licence CL36 attached).

You must:
- identify where an otter has got into the fishery such as through broken fencing and fix it before you trap the otter and move it
- use live capture traps which Natural England confirms as acceptable for trapping otter in England
- position the trap away from areas that could flood
- de-activate a trap if heavy rainfall is predicted
- attend any trap set to capture live otters within 3 hours
- transport and release the trapped otter outside the fishery fence as soon as possible
- get the landowner’s permission before you take action under this licence
See the licence attached for all terms and conditions.

If you need to carry out activities not covered by this licence, you can apply for an individual licence (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/otter-licences).

Register to use this licence

This is a class licence. You must complete the registration form attached and send it to Natural England if you wish to use this licence.

Natural England will only register you if you can show you have the knowledge and skill to act under this licence. For example, show that you’ve passed an approved Natural England course to trap otters.

Write to or email:

How to report your actions

You must tell Natural England 5 days before you intend to trap and transport an otter. This allows time for a Natural England wildlife adviser to visit and check the site if they wish to.

You must send a report of your action 14 days after each licensed activity.

If you have not used the licence, you must send an annual report stating you’ve ‘taken no action’ under this licence by 31 January each year. Doing this also renews your licence. If you do not submit an annual report, you’ll need to register again.

British businesses fly the flag for UK legal services in Canada
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-03)

Leading law firms are heading to Canada to strengthen the UK’s foothold in a key global market, boosting the UK economy and keeping the country at the heart of the international legal industry.

- British businesses join Courts and Legal Services Minister Sarah Sackman KC to promote UK-Canada legal services, worth over £200m in bilateral trade last year
- UK legal excellence given global stage at International Bar Association conference in Toronto
- Part of Government’s Plan for Change to boost international investment in the economy
Minister for Courts and Legal Services, Sarah Sackman KC, is visiting Canada’s financial and legal capital, Toronto, to promote UK business on the world stage. She will lead a delegation attending the International Bar Association (IBA) conference – the largest global legal gathering.

The visit comes as recent figures reveal UK legal exports to Canada reached £191 million in 2024 – making it the 10th largest market for British legal exports worldwide. Britain’s legal sector contributes £37 billion annually to the economy and employs 384,000 highly-skilled professionals.

English law forms the backbone of international trade and justice around the world and is the basis for 40% of global corporate deals.

Minister for Courts and Legal Services, Sarah Sackman KC MP, said:

We’re turbocharging the economy through our legal partnership with Canada - worth an average of £195 million to the UK in exports over the last three years.

I’m looking forward to championing UK legal excellence on the world stage in Toronto this week and reaffirming our position as the first choice for international legal services.

The IBA annual conference – the largest legal gathering of its kind – will have more than 5,000 attendees from over 100 jurisdictions making this a key opportunity to promote British business and English law around the world.

The Minister will be accompanied by 23 UK legal experts organised by the Ministry of Justice’s GREAT Legal Services campaign, to promote Europe’s largest legal market.

Maintaining the UK’s status as the jurisdiction of choice for legal services is central to the Government’s Plan for Change to kickstart economic growth.

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 Elgar Care Limited 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 Elgar Care Limited 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
- 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.

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 The Vella Group 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;

Feed-in Tariffs (FiT) scheme: indexation changes
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-31)

We're seeking views on proposed changes to inflation indexation for the Feed-in Tariffs (FiT) scheme.

The UK government is proposing changing the inflation indexation calculation for the Renewable Obligation (RO) and Feed-in Tariffs (FiT) schemes, from the Retail Price Index (RPI) to the Consumer Price Index (CPI):
- for the Renewable Obligation (RO) scheme, the inflation indexation calculation for the buy-out price would be changed by Ofgem from RPI to CPI
- for the Feed-in Tariffs (FiT) scheme, the annual tariff adjustment calculation would be changed from RPI to CPI
The indexation change would come into effect in April 2026 and would affect all UK generators on the RO and FiT schemes.

Changes to inflation indexation would lower the annual subsidy uplifts for generators and reduce the cost of these schemes for UK consumers.

Respond to the FiT scheme consultation via the link on this page.

Free Welsh language learning for UK civil servants
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-07)

Welsh language training now available to all civil servants through the Civil Service Learning website

Free Welsh language learning for UK civil servants

Welsh language training now available to all civil servants through the Civil Service Learning website

Every civil servant in the UK can now access free Welsh Language training thanks to a new initiative.

Government Skills has been collaborating with the National Centre for Learning Welsh to offer civil servants easy access to free Welsh Language training—provided by the Welsh Government—via a programme called Work Welsh.

It is the first time every civil servant in the UK has been given access to free learning on Civil Service Learning, which is specifically focused on helping them learn a new language.

Promoting the Welsh language

Dame Antonia Romeo DCB, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Justice and Permanent Secretary Place Champion for Wales and a Welsh language learner herself, said:

“This initiative underpins our commitment to promote the Welsh Language and ensure its presence across all Government departments - supporting the Welsh Government vision to have one million people speaking Welsh by 2050.”

This opportunity is the result of an initiative led by Professor Kim Ann Williamson MBE, Strategic Advisor to the Wales and the Northern Ireland Head of Place with the great support of Rich Williams (Ministry of Justice), Alison Dods (Department of Work and Pensions), Dave Martin (Government Skills) and our Joint Heads of Place for Wales Ross Maude (DCMS) and Professor Tom Crick MBE (DCMS).

An important milestone

Kim Ann, who herself relocated from London to Wales some 28 years ago, said she believes that learning a new language can be a vital part in staff development.

“It’s an important milestone to be able to offer civil servants this opportunity and it highlights our determination to support diverse and thriving civil service communities in regions and nations across the UK.

“Learning Welsh can help foster inclusive teams, particularly where there are Welsh-speaking colleagues. It’s also a wonderful way to forge closer links with the local community and support the Welsh language, heritage and culture.”

Launch in Cardiff

The learning is among a range of courses available on the National Centre for Learning Welsh’s website. But, by providing access via Civil Service Learning, Government Skills is ensuring that civil servants get easy access to the free learning. It can also monitor numbers accessing the learning from the Civil Service.

Representatives from more than 14 government departments attended the launch of the Work Welsh (https://learn.civilservice.gov.uk/courses/Fx4VGV3_RvaeZPqyEu-RJg) language learning in Cardiff and had the opportunity to hear from Dame Nia Griffith MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Wales speaking in support of this new learning opportunity.

Work Welsh is accessible via Civil Service Learning (https://learn.civilservice.gov.uk/courses/Fx4VGV3_RvaeZPqyEu-RJg).
