Source: gov.uk (2025-03-18)


The investigation case is the form by which FIS Technical teams records cases in their primary work areas where it has been decided to initiate an investigation into a defined person (or persons) under a Code of Practice.

Some of the key points of what must be done before a case can have its profile changed to registration to Code 8 or 9 are:
- new cases are registered to an Investigator
- the Investigator must prepare a Registration Report, update Caseflow, search the FIS database (This content has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)
- team Leaders have to approve the change of profile to 'investigation' from 'review'
- exceptionally a Team Leader may wish to register an investigation case to him/herself or take over a working case. The Assistant Director must approve any such cases, and will perform the function of Team Leader on them
- there may be circumstances where extensive review work is undertaken before it can be ascertained whether or not a case merits registration as an investigation case. Once it becomes clear that a case is suitable for registration then the Investigator should put it forward to the Authorising Officer immediately with the Registration Report for registration
- once a case has been registered as an investigation case all of the case control and closure procedures in Caseflow must be followed
- Each case designated for investigation must have an approved Registration Report prior to adoption, regardless of the case type, working methodology, or referral pathway. In exceptional circumstances, where it is necessary to adopt multiple cases under a single Registration Report Prior approval and sign-off from the Director are required to justify use of this exception and must be recorded and filed in the case folder of each respective case
- For linked cases, the investigator must use the free text box in caseflow to record the caseflow reference number of the lead case associated with the registration report.

Collision between a train and a van at Bax user worked level crossing
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-28)

Investigation into a collision between a train and a delivery van at Bax user worked level crossing, Kent, 13 July 2025.

At around 12:42 on 13 July 2025, a passenger train struck a delivery van at Bax user worked level crossing, located between Sittingbourne and Teynham in Kent. The driver of the van was fatally injured in the accident.

Bax user worked level crossing has gates on either side of the railway which are manually operated by road users. The crossing is provided with signage which instructs users how to use it, and it is also fitted with a miniature stop light system. This shows a green light to users when it is considered safe for them to cross the railway. As trains approach the crossing this changes to a red light, and audible alarms sound. The crossing is also fitted with telephones to allow users crossing with large or slow vehicles, or animals, to contact the signaller.

Our investigation will determine the sequence of events that led to the accident and will include consideration of:
- the actions of those involved and any factors that may have influenced them
- any previous incidents at this crossing, and how these may be relevant to this accident
- the management of risk at this crossing and Network Rail’s wider strategy for assessing and mitigating risks at user worked crossings
- any relevant underlying factors.
Our investigation is independent of any investigation by the railway industry or by the industry’s regulator, the Office of Rail and Road (http://orr.gov.uk/).

We will publish our findings, including any recommendations to improve safety, at the conclusion of our investigation. This report will be available on our website.

Regenerative agriculture: a sustainable future for Turkmenistan
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-28)

The British Embassy and Food and Agriculture Organisation hosted a screening of the documentary "Six Inches of Soil".

On 21 February, the British Embassy in Turkmenistan, in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organisation, had the honour of hosting a screening of “Six Inches of Soil” – a powerful documentary highlighting the urgent need for regenerative agriculture. This was followed by a thought-provoking panel discussion with senior Turkmen government officials, supported by leading professors and agricultural researchers from the renowned British universities.

British Ambassador Mr Stephen Conlon speaks at the screening of "Six Inches of Soil".

As Turkmenistan looks to strengthen its agricultural resilience, regenerative practices offer a path toward healthier soils, increased productivity, and long-term food security. The discussion underscored the importance of sustainable land management, biodiversity, and climate adaptation – critical for ensuring a thriving agricultural sector in the years to come.

The screening of "Six Inches of Soil".

A huge thank you to our expert speakers, the Food and Agriculture Organisation, representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Environment Protection, and all participants for contributing to this vital conversation. We look forward to continued collaboration in bringing UK’s world-class, innovative, sustainable solutions to Turkmenistan’s agricultural landscape.
UK strengthens cyber defence cooperation across Asia-Pacific region
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-25)

Senior defence officials gathered in Singapore on cyber security and emerging technologies.

Cyber-attacks know no borders, and with the transnational nature of digital threats evolving we must work with allies to keep Britain safe.

The ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Defence Ministers’ Meeting (ADMM) Cybersecurity and Information Centre of Excellence (ACICE) hosted the third Digital Defence Symposium (DDS) in Singapore, bringing together more than 300 senior defence officials, academics, industry experts and international partners from across 35 countries and organisations, to discuss the latest developments in the cybersecurity and information domains, amid challenges presented by emerging technologies and rising geopolitical tensions.

ACICE was established in June 2021, aiming to connect ASEAN countries and other international partners to enhance multilateral cooperation in defence against cyberattacks, disinformation and misinformation. This is achieved through information sharing, and raising awareness and knowledge of potential threats, trends and developments in the cybersecurity and information domains.

At the symposium, the ‘Building Effective Digital Military Forces’ panel saw representatives from the UK, Singapore and Japan – including our Deputy Commander, Lieutenant General Sir Tom Copinger-Symes – discuss how investment, such as training, doctrine, structure, or equipment, can build a capable force that is ready to respond to digital threats.

As collaboration becomes increasingly paramount to defend against modern threats, leaders shared insight into how militaries can use multinational operations and alliances to enhance interoperability and counter digital threats. They also covered how artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous systems, and cyber capabilities can ethically be integrated with human judgement and resilience to create a strong, warfighting ready force.

The Strategic Defence Review outlined a need to align capabilities and defence priorities. As the Command responsible for defending the UK in cyberspace and leading on integrating cyber effects into operational planning, we must work in partnership with our allies and partners to achieve this and continue to put NATO first. However, as this conference has demonstrated, prioritising NATO does not mean focusing solely on it – it also involves strengthening our regional partnerships around the globe.

This symposium offered a platform to do so, ensuring our strong international partnerships within the region, as an ASEAN Dialogue Partner, and wider keep us ahead of our adversaries in an ever-contested digital landscape.

Hydrogen production business model
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-12)

Updates on the hydrogen production business model, including the Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement.

Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement - Hydrogen Allocation Round 1, December 2024 (published February 2025)

The Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement was signed by the first projects supported by the Hydrogen Production Business Model in December 2024. The version of the Standard Terms and Conditions applicable to these projects is ‘Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 - December 2024’.

The generic ‘Front End Agreement’ has also been updated to reflect the version applicable to these projects. For more detail on individual projects, please see the government-appointed hydrogen production counterparty’s website (https://www.lowcarboncontracts.uk/).

The key terms summary document is intended to provide a summary of the LCHA terms applicable to HAR1 projects and strengthen understanding of the LCHA amongst wider interested stakeholders.

These documents provide details of the government’s design for a low carbon hydrogen business model.

Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement (published August 2023)

The Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement is the contract which underpins the hydrogen production business model. The version published in August 2023 reflects the draft contract at that time.

We have updated some provisions in the LCHA awarded to successful projects in Hydrogen Allocation Round 1, as published in February 2025.

The business model will provide revenue support to hydrogen producers to overcome the operating cost gap between low carbon hydrogen and high carbon fuels. It has been designed to incentivise investment in low carbon hydrogen production and use, and in doing so deliver the government’s ambition of up to 10GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030.

The business model will be delivered through a private law contract (the Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement) between a government appointed counterparty and a hydrogen producer.

The Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement includes the following documents:
- Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement: Standard Terms and Conditions
- Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement: Front End Agreement
Heads of Terms for the Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement (published December 2022)

The Heads of Terms for the Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement sets out the government’s proposal for the final hydrogen production business model design. The Heads of Terms reflect the proposed business model design in December 2022. We have updated some of the policy proposals in the Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement, published August 2023.

This set of documents includes:
- Low Carbon Hydrogen Production Business Model: Heads of Terms
- Low Carbon Hydrogen Production Business Model: full contract drafting of the payment calculations
- Low Carbon Hydrogen Production Business Model: Heads of Terms comparison with the indicative Heads of Terms (April 2022)

UK-India CETA Chapter 15: Government Procurement
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-24)

Text of chapter 15 of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and India.

This chapter and its annex guarantee access to the Indian government procurement market for UK businesses and ensure that government procurement processes in both countries are fair, open, and transparent.

With this chapter, UK businesses will have legally guaranteed access to compete for a proportion of these contracts that meet the criteria specified within India’s schedule.

UK companies will get exclusive treatment under the ‘Make in India’ policy, which currently provides preferential treatment for federal government procurement to businesses who manufacture or produce in India. UK companies will be treated as a class 2 supplier if at least 20% of their product or service is from the UK – granting them the same status that only Indian firms currently enjoy (the ‘Make in India’ preference will still apply for approved ‘class 1’ suppliers offering 50% or more of their goods or services from India).

The chapter will also enable UK businesses to access information on published tender notices for procurements covered by the agreement, free of charge, through India’s single website portal.

The agreement is not yet in force. Both the UK and India are required to complete their respective domestic procedures for the agreement to come into effect. Once ratified by both countries, businesses will be able to trade under its terms.

What participants need to do to meet their obligations under the Vehicle Emissions Trading Schemes (VETS) Order 2023.

This guidance aims to help car and van manufacturers registering vehicles in Great Britain understand and meet their obligations under the Vehicle Emissions Trading Schemes (VETS) Order 2023 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2023/1394/contents/made).

The VETS Order creates 4 trading schemes – 2 for cars and 2 for vans. One car and van scheme implements a zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate. The other car and van scheme implements a CO2 regulation framework.

Car schemes may interact with each other, as may van schemes, but there is no interaction between car and van schemes.

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 Veterans Council 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 Veterans Council 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:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
We also pledge the following:

Encourage their supplier to sign the Corporate Covenant.

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.

MTT50210 - Administration: Administration of Domestic Top-up Tax - Penalties
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


The MTT penalty regime is replicated for DTT purposes. This is necessary because wholly domestic groups and entities will not be in scope of MTT.

Additionally, some penalties are tax-geared. The MTT and DTT liabilities will not overlap, so the penalty will need to be charged in respect of both taxes to ensure that the tax-geared element is charged on the aggregate liability.

This is set out in paragraph 6, schedule 18 to Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

Example

The filing member of a group has submitted a self-assessment return one week late. The self-assessment return contains information relating to both MTT and DTT.

The filing member will be charged a £100 penalty in respect of each of the taxes (see MTT55440 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt55440)).

Another multinational group submits its self-assessment return eight months late. It is necessary to charge a penalty in respect of both MTT and DTT because the penalty may be tax-geared.
