Source: gov.uk (2025-10-10)

This register lists personal and non-personal information assets held by DHSC in the UK.

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) information asset register is a table listing the categories of information assets that the department is responsible for in the UK.

An ‘information asset’ is a body of information (document or documents, or piece of data or large data set) on a particular subject, which can be held electronically or on paper and include personal or non-personal data. It is defined and managed as a single unit so it can be understood, shared, protected and exploited efficiently. Information assets have recognisable and manageable value, risk, content and life cycles.

These information assets and data are protected and managed in line with the Cabinet Office’s Security policy framework (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/security-policy-framework).

The DHSC register is reviewed on a regular basis and updates will be published to reflect changes.

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 Military Wives Choirs Foundation 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;

SPM181800 - Paying and Recovering - SMP/SAP/SPP/ShPP/SPBP/SNCP: concurrent employment with different employers and earnings are aggregated
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-06)


Treat the employers as one if an employee has two or more jobs with different employers and

the earnings from each are added together. See SPM190400 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/statutory-payments-manual/spm190400).

This means:
- only one payment of NICs is due
- the employee is only entitled to one amount of SMP/SAP/SPP/ShPP/SPBP/SNCP.
The employers can agree between themselves how to split the liability for SMP/SAP/SPP/ShPP/SPBP/SNCP. If they cannot agree, the liability is split in the same proportion as the earnings paid to the employee.

When these employers are calculating the Class 1 NICs bill to establish if any recovery is due they must include the pro-rata NICs liability for shared employees.

The employer can only recover the proportion of SMP/SAP/SPP/ShPP/SPBP/SNCP that they have paid.

Normally the business that pays the wages will calculate and record any recovery due and claim it back in the usual way from their payments to Accounts Office.

At the end of the tax year they should record all amounts paid and recovered on their End of Year Returns, form P35 or substitute.

Example where earnings are aggregated between different employer’s

Company A (a large employer) and Company B (a small employer with a low monthly NICs bill) trade in association with each other.

They both employ Mrs Smith, who is pregnant, and each employer has responsibility for 50% of her earnings.

Company A actually pays Mrs Smith and includes all her earnings from both jobs on their return.

Company A’s P35 will show a recovery of 92% of their share of the SMP they pay Mrs Smith, and 100% plus NIC compensation of Company B’s share of the SMP.

Simplifying the funding landscape for local authorities
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-02)

This plan sets out how we will reform the local funding landscape to deliver a simpler, fairer, more transparent and accountable funding system for local authorities.

The government’s plan for simplifying the funding landscape for local authorities set out our ambition for increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of the current funding system. By reducing administrative burdens, this plan will support local authorities to maximise their return on spending, generating the best outcomes for communities.

The plan detailed 3 main phases for change:

Immediate simplification of existing funds and communication. This includes a new ‘Simplification Pathfinder Pilot’ to test the streamlined delivery of capital funding in a small group of local authorities. We are also amending our project adjustment request process for the Levelling Up Fund, Town Deals and Future High Streets Fund, giving local authorities more flexibility to change projects.

A new ‘Funding Simplification Doctrine’ requiring departments to strive for a simpler and more streamlined way of delivering funding to local authorities, including considering allocative distribution approaches.

Reforms to be implemented at the next Spending Review, including multi-year, single departmental-style funding settlements for the trailblazer Mayoral Combined Authorities and better join up across interconnected policy areas and investment programmes.

The Local Regeneration Fund (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-regeneration-fund) supersedes the Pathfinder pilot and changes to the project adjustment request (PAR) process.

Penalty issued for breach of Russia Sanctions
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-30)

The Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) has imposed a £300,000 monetary penalty against Markom Management Limited (MML)

The Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) has imposed a £300,000 monetary penalty against Markom Management Limited (MML) for a breach of UK financial sanctions imposed against Russia following the 2014 annexation of Crimea.

The breach relates to MML’s involvement in the making of a payment of £416,590.92 to a designated person, who remains subject to an asset freeze under current Russia sanctions. This payment was in breach of the UK sanctions in force at the time in response to Russia’s annexation of Crimea.

MML gave instructions to make the payment from another company’s bank account with the knowledge that the recipient was a designated person, having failed to put in place adequate compliance and controls procedures.

As a result of this breach, OFSI imposed a penalty of £300,000 on MML.

The imposition of this penalty highlights some key lessons for industry. All firms, regardless of their size, should take appropriate steps to understand and address their exposure to sanctions risks; have adequate sanctions processes to ensure compliance including to promptly identify as well as report suspected breaches of financial sanctions to OFSI; and be alert to the risks of making payments in haste.

The UK considers financial sanctions to be a vital foreign policy tool. They remain central to the UK’s efforts to hold Russia to account, place Ukraine on the strongest footing possible, and deter malign activity around the world.

To date western sanctions have resulted in Russia’s oil and gas revenues falling every year since 2022 – losing over a third of its value in three years. Sanctions and the cost of Putin’s barbaric war are causing the Russian economy to stall – with the wealth fund hollowed out, inflation rising and government spend on defence and security spiralling.

This case is the latest in a series of monetary penalties announced over the past year. The UK will continue to prioritise sanctions enforcement, through public actions, such as monetary penalties, as well as actions which are not made public, such as warning letters and referrals to partner agencies and regulators.

On the 22 July, OFSI launched a consultation on proposed changes aiming to improve the effectiveness of its enforcement processes. These proposals, if implemented, will double the value of penalties for the worst sanctions breaches, and potentially speed up the resolution of certain penalty cases.

Personal information will be redacted before publication. This could be information such as the:
- name of the appellant
- collecting authority
- address of the property
- amount of CIL payable
Sizewell C: government support package
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-22)

Contractual documents for the Sizewell C (SZC) nuclear power station.

The government support package (GSP) is the government provision of support intended to cover against specific high impact, low probability risks.

Contingent Financing Agreement

The agreement sets out the terms on which SZC can obtain financing if the Higher Regulatory Threshold (HRT) is reached.

Discontinuation and Compensation Agreement

The agreement allows the Secretary of State to discontinue the project in certain circumstances. It also gives Sizewell C Ltd the right to request discontinuation in specific scenarios.

Government Liquidity Facility Agreement

This agreement offers debt liquidity support to Sizewell C through a committed revolving loan facility for maturing principal under the common debt platform. The agreement contains penalties to disincentivise its use, helping to protect consumers and taxpayers.

Nuclear Administration and Statutory Transfers Agreement (NASTA)

The agreement supports the Special Administration Regime (SAR) for the project, were Sizewell C Ltd to enter insolvency. It would allow a Nuclear Administration to continue construction or operations, ensuring consumers and taxpayers benefit from the project as a result of their contribution through the Regulated Asset Base (RAB).

Supplemental Compensation Agreement

The agreement provides cover for certain insurances beyond those commercially available, ensuring that the project is adequately protected.

Independent Technical Advisor (ITA) deed of appointment

The ITA will be appointed during the pre-PCR phase, providing independent scrutiny of the licensee’ costs and will making recommendations to Ofgem as to what costs should be logged to the RAB each year. Whilst the ITA will make recommendations to Ofgem about the costs which should be logged to the RAB, it is ultimately Ofgem’s role to economically regulate the licensee. This document sets out the terms of ITA’s appointment.

Liaison agreement

The Liaison Agreement is a working agreement between Sizewell C stakeholders. The agreement establishes a structured framework for collaboration, oversight, and reporting among the key stakeholders involved in Sizewell C. It ensures that all parties have clear roles and responsibilities, mechanisms for resolving conflicts, and processes for maintaining transparency and accountability throughout the project’s life cycle.

Increase in Allowed Revenue (IAR) statement

This document sets out the process the Secretary of State must follow in determining whether to exercise the power included within Section 7 of the Nuclear Energy (Financing) Act 2022.

Call option agreement

This document grants an option for the Secretary of State, in their role as GSP provider, to call for the shares of Sizewell C GenCo, in the context of the implementation of the Discontinuation and Compensation Agreement and NASTA.

Introducing or amending criminal offences or penalties
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-04)

This guidance is for officials who may be considering creating new criminal offences or amending existing offences or penalties.

The government is committed to preventing the proliferation of unnecessary new offences and to ensuring that any new offences are fit for purpose.

It is the responsibility of individual departments to ensure that new behaviour is not criminalised without careful consideration, that alternatives to criminal offences are used where appropriate, and that the impacts and cost to the criminal justice system are accounted for. The Ministry of Justice should as a rule be consulted by other government departments, when they are considering new, or amending existing criminal offences or penalties.

This publication replaces the former ‘Making new criminal offences’ guidance.

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 Pirelli Tyres 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 Pirelli Tyres 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
- 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.

Source: gov.uk (2025-08-14)

Some criminal offences require the Attorney General’s consent or permission for the Director of Public Prosecutions to consent before legal proceedings can begin.

Background

Some criminal offences, as set out in legislation, require the Attorney General’s consent or permission for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to consent before legal proceedings can begin.

Any function of the Attorney General, including granting consent for prosecution, can also be exercised by the Solicitor General.

In these cases, the Law Officers are asked to decide whether they consent to the prosecution of an individual, or grant permission for the DPP to consent to a prosecution. The full list of offences that require the Law Officers’ consent, including the circumstances in which this applies to offences under Terrorism legislation, is available on CPS website (https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/consents-prosecute#_cons7).
