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.

UK Scholarships Empower 80 Pakistani Future Leaders to Study at Leading British Universities
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-28)

Chosen for their leadership potential and commitment to driving positive change, they join a cohort of nearly 2,000 Chevening alumni and 1,500 Commonwealth alumni, working across all sectors including education, governance, health, and climate action.

This year, 32 Chevening Scholars will begin their academic journeys pursuing fully funded master’s degrees in the UK. The cohort includes over 60% women, and representation from nearly all of Pakistan’s provinces. This year’s cohort includes a scholar funded by Mansion house to study MSc Business Analytics from University College London.

In addition, 48 Commonwealth Scholars have been selected to study at leading UK institutions. This includes shared scholarships, master’s programmes, and PhD programmes, fully funded by the UK through the Commonwealth Scholarship. The British High Commission Islamabad marked the start of the scholars’ journey through a reception, celebrating their achievement.

British High Commissioner, Jane Marriott CMG, OBE said:

These scholars are embarking on a journey of a lifetime. They will have access to the best minds and opportunities. What’s more, when they return, they will join a powerful global network of accomplished Chevening and Commonwealth alumni who are creating real change worldwide.

Rida Tariq, an incoming Chevening Scholar, shared her motivation:

For me Chevening is not just a scholarship, it’s a platform for collaboration and a chance to connect with a global community of leaders dedicated to making a real difference. I am eager to learn from diverse perspectives, build lasting relationships, and gain the knowledge and skills needed to bring meaningful change in Pakistan.

Future leaders can now apply for Chevening scholarships to study a one-year Masters degree in the UK, and Chevening fellowships including the 2-month long South Asia Journalism Programme (SAJP) and 5-month long Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies fellowship (OCIS). Applications will close on October 7, 2025. Applications for Commonwealth Scholarships will open later this year.

National Security Strategy 2025: Security for the British People in a Dangerous World
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-29)

National Security Strategy 2025 identifies the main challenges the UK faces in an era of radical uncertainty and sets out a new Strategic Framework covering all aspects of  national security and international policy

The purpose of the National Security Strategy 2025: Security for the British People in a Dangerous World (NSS 2025) is to identify the main challenges we face as a nation in an era of radical uncertainty, to describe the key principles underlying the government’s approach to these challenges, and to explain the actions the government will be taking in response.

The Strategic Context describes an intensification of great power competition and greater prospect of geopolitical volatility. These include: confrontation with adversaries (whether indirect or, potentially, directly); competition with other states (both strategic and systematic); and cooperation (which will become harder but arguably even more important than ever before).

The Strategic Framework sets out principles to guide the UK’s response to this context.
- Security at Home - defending our territory, making the UK a harder target and building resilience to future threats. Delivering on the security and resilience of our homeland and people, both in the physical and online world, is critical for delivering economic growth and this Government’s missions to improve the lives of the British people.
- Strength Abroad - bolstering collective security, renewing and refreshing key alliances and developing new partnerships in new domains. Using all the levers of state and national power to achieve influence abroad in a more challenging international environment.
- Increasing sovereign and asymmetric capabilities - rebuilding our defence industrial base, developing and maintaining sovereign capabilities and pursuing asymmetric strategies. Ensuring our national security agenda aligns with our mission to grow the economy and increase opportunity for the British people by reducing our dependence on others and their ability to coerce us.

Improving testing rates for blood-borne viruses in prisons and other secure settings
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-15)

Guidance and additional resources about the 'opt-out' testing policy for blood-borne viruses in prisons and other secure settings.

This content was originally produced by Public Health England (PHE). This content is now owned and managed by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA)

Public Health England, the Hepatitis C Trust, British Liver Trust and National AIDS Trust recommend an ‘opt- out’ testing programme in prisons to improve the rates at which prisoners are tested for blood-borne viruses (BBVs).

In an opt-out programme, appropriately trained healthcare staff offer prisoners the option of BBV blood tests near reception, and at several points thereafter.

This model works in antenatal services in the community where both the offer and uptake of HIV testing has improved using this ‘opt-out’ method.

HCV Action hosts a list of secondary care prison contacts. For more information, visit the HCV Action website (http://www.hcvaction.org.uk/resource/database-secondary-care-prison-hospital-contacts-hepatitis-c-treatment).

With just seven weeks to go until new changes come into force to keep UK seafood exports flowing, industry is being urged to act now and get on board to ready their business.

The Fish Trace Ship (https://fishtraceship.campaign.gov.uk/) campaign is counting down the changes to export documentation that will be required from 10 January 2026 to keep seafood produce flowing smoothly out of the country.

If you fail to prepare your business, consignments could be turned away.

To support industry in preparing for the changes, you can sign up to our next webinar being held on 10 December. Don’t miss out by signing up here (https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/2c38248e-d561-40d8-a13a-75cceb024bad@770a2450-0227-4c62-90c7-4e38537f1102).

Nick Greenwood, MMO’s Head of Marine Protection and Operations Services, said: “Everyone involved in catching, buying, processing and selling fish destined for EU markets, and a range of other countries, needs to act right now to adopt the changes we’re making to the UK Fish Export Service so our fish and seafood products can continue to be exported.

“Without the additional information needed for the Fish Export Service from January 2026, you will not be able to export your produce because the of the new requirements.

“Time is running out to be ready for these changes. So we are urging everyone in the UK seafood industry not to be caught out when the time comes by checking the implications for their businesses now – and take the necessary steps.

“You can access guidance, videos, webinars, blogs and our campaign website to find out a whole lot more and where to get help if you have questions.

“Please don’t leave it too late – get on board with the Fish Trace Ship campaign right away and make sure you’re prepared.”

The EU is set to update its requirements for Illegal Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing regulations, and so everyone involved in the UK’s seafood supply chain now has a role to play in ensuring our exports can continue to exit the country efficiently from 10 January next year.

The Fish, Trace, Ship (https://fishtraceship.campaign.gov.uk/) campaign, led by MMO, has been promoting the information, guidance and practical advice the industry needs to be ready for these imminent changes through webinars, online guidance, videos, social media and printed information.

The campaign continues to make clear what action needs to be taken by each sector of the supply chain, from fishers and merchants through to processors and exporters.

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 Millbank Holdings 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Millbank Holdings 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 Reservists
- Armed Forces Charities
We also pledge the following:

-Armed forces friendly: on our website and displaying the armed forces covenant logo -Veterans: by actively advertising our roles on platforms that are directed at veterans -Granting an additional 10 days unpaid leave per annum -Offer support to local veterans charities, through sponsorship and participation in events

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 (2025-11-17)


TCGA92/S169VC

The basic framework of Investors’ Relief is set out in s169VC. Relief is available to individuals or the trustees of a settlement –
- On a disposal of all or part of a holding of shares in a company,
- Provided some of the shares are qualifying shares,
- The relief means that all or part of the gain is charged to CGT at a lower rate.
- The lower rate will apply to all of the gain where all of the shares in the holding are qualifying shares, otherwise to a proportion of the gain that reflects the qualifying shares.
- There is an overall cap to the amount of gains that can be subject to the relief for any individual.
- The relief available to trustees of a settlement is by reference to a beneficiary.
- Allowable losses are deducted before applying the lower CGT rate to the remaining gain. .
- It is available where shares are held jointly.
See CG63500P (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg63500p) for a general description of the relief and the layout of the guidance.
Any nation’s refusal to condemn North Korea’s actions represents direct complicity in furthering its illegal weapons programme: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-08)

Statement by Ambassador Barbara Woodward, UK Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on North Korea.

The DPRK has begun this year again by defying multiple UN Security Council resolutions.

The United Kingdom strongly condemns the DPRK’s latest intermediate-range ballistic missile launch.

Colleagues, this latest launch follows a year of provocative and brazen violations by the DPRK, which saw the testing and firing of fifty missiles, including an intercontinental ballistic missile as well as their craven support to Russia, supplying weapons and troops, for Russia’s illegal war against Ukraine.

These actions should concern us all.

Our collective response is an important test for this Council’s authority and our commitment to defending the Council resolutions voted for in this Chamber.

Yet we are unable to unite against the DPRK’s continued flouting of the global non-proliferation architecture.

We should remain clear-eyed on the cost of this Council’s silence.

The DPRK continues to develop its nuclear and ballistic capabilities representing an unequivocal threat to peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and in the wider Indo-Pacific.

Russia’s veto of the mandate renewal of the Panel of Experts has given the DPRK a green light to commit such provocations unchecked.

And drawing false equivalence between the legitimate security concerns of Indo-Pacific nations and the illegal and provocative actions of the DPRK, as some Council members have done in the past, is wrong and dangerous.

I want to make clear that any nation’s refusal to condemn decisively the DPRK’s actions, represents direct complicity in furthering DPRK’s illegal weapons programme.

We want to see a prosperous and stable DPRK, whose people flourish in a secure neighbourhood.

So I urge DPRK to abandon its missile programmes and destructive partnership with Russia which is already reported to have cost DPRK lives, and refocus on the wellbeing of the people of the DPRK. To allow access to the international community, to accept repeated and unconditional offers for meaningful dialogue.

And to allow diplomacy to give the citizens of DPRK a peaceful, stable and prosperous future.

UK supports launch of Digital Case Management System in Pakistan
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-15)

The Digital Case Management System (CMS) improves data accuracy, reduces delays, and supports faster enforcement actions.

The CMS, developed with UK support, helps ANF register cases, manage evidence, and integrate lab results digitally. It was piloted in February 2025 and has now been rolled out across all ANF Regional Headquarters and police stations nationwide.

The inauguration took place at ANF Headquarters in Rawalpindi. British High Commissioner Jane Marriott and Federal Minister for Interior & Narcotics Control Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi attended the event, along with ANF Director General Major General Abdul Moeed and representatives from BHC, UPSCALE, Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB), and other partners.

British High Commissioner, Jane Marriott CMG, OBE said:

The initiative reflects the UK’s commitment to working with Pakistan to tackle serious and organised crime. The system strengthens law enforcement and benefits both the UK and Pakistan.

Federal Minister Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi, in his closing remarks, praised the initiative, stating:

This digital transformation, backed by the British High Commission, equips ANF to handle high-volume narcotics cases with greater efficiency. We deeply value this collaboration as a cornerstone of our efforts to secure our borders and communities.

The CMS also addresses challenges such as data silos and slow reporting by enabling real-time information sharing. Future upgrades may include links to external databases and financial tracking of narcotics-related crimes, with continued UK support.
