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.

Company insolvencies, January 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-18)

Monthly tables and commentary on the numbers, rates and sectors of companies that have entered formal insolvency procedures in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Main messages for England and Wales

After seasonal adjustment, the number of registered company insolvencies in England and Wales was 1,971 in January 2025, 6% higher than in December 2024 (1,852) and 11% higher than the same month in the previous year (1,780 in January 2024). Company insolvencies over the past year have been slightly lower than in 2023, which saw a 30-year high annual number, but have remained high relative to historical levels.

Company insolvencies in January 2025 consisted of 269 compulsory liquidations, 1,546 creditors’ voluntary liquidations (CVLs), 142 administrations and 14 company voluntary arrangements (CVAs). There were no receivership appointments. CVL and administration numbers were higher than in December 2024, while compulsory liquidations and CVAs were lower.

One in 190 companies on the Companies House effective register (at a rate of 52.6 per 10,000 companies) entered insolvency between 1 February 2024 and 31 January 2025. This was a decrease from the 57.1 per 10,000 companies that entered insolvency in the 12 months ending 31 January 2024. Insolvency rates are calculated on a 12-month rolling basis as a proportion of the total number of companies on the effective register. The 12-month rolling rates show longer term trends and reduce the volatility associated with estimates based on single months. Rates in this month’s publication have been calculated based on the register size in September 2024 and should therefore be treated as estimates that may be revised in the future. See Incorporated companies in the UK October to December 2024 - Official statistics announcement - GOV.UK for more information.

While the insolvency rate has increased since the lows seen in 2020 and 2021, it remains much lower than the peak of 113.1 per 10,000 companies seen during the 2008-09 recession. This is because the number of companies on the effective register has more than doubled over this period.

Reported road casualties Great Britain: Injury severity within injury-based reporting systems
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-25)

A summary of statistics on injury severity and injury type, for reported road casualties in police forces using injury-based reporting systems.

Since 2012, some police forces have begun providing STATS19 data through injury-based reporting systems, most commonly CRaSH (the Collision Recording and SHaring system).

Within injury-based reporting systems, casualty severity data is determined by the most severe injury sustained. This has provided 2 new variables that have not previously been published, most severe injury sustained and a more detailed casualty severity variable which breaks down the serious category.

This factsheet presents an initial analysis of these additional variables, separately for 2019 and 2020, 2021 and 2022, 2023 and 2024 when the coverage of police forces using injury-based reported was slightly different. We welcome feedback on this factsheet and would any interest in further analysis of the injury data.

While this data is considered sensitive at the record level, it can be requested from the team via the contact details below subject to completion of an application for sensitive data and agreement of an end user licence.

Please refer to Guidance: Apply to pay less duty on goods you import for specific uses (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-to-pay-less-duty-on-goods-you-import-for-specific-uses) Fish - for further details.

The quotas and duty suspensions available for fish are subject to frequent change, authorisations should not normally exceed one year. If they exceed one year, they must be monitored periodically to ensure they remain valid. The authorisation should clearly identify the commodity codes of the products authorised. There have been cases where authorisations have been issued by Customs for ineligible commodity codes. You must therefore check in the tariff that all commodity codes cited in the authorisation are in fact eligible for Authorised Use before issuing the authorisation. Authorisation holders should be reminded of the need to periodically check their authorisations remain valid, especially if the goods are subject to a Tariff quota.

Note: Northern Ireland (NI) customs authorisations will continue to fall within the provisions of the Union Customs Code (UCC), as retained by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and CEMA 1979.
