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 Provincial Grand Lodge of Monmouthshire 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

- 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.

CTM35145 - Income Tax: collection of tax on annual payments: relevant payments not returned
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-12)


ITA07/S957

If HMRC believes the company has made a relevant payment which it has not included in a return or is dissatisfied with a return, the company is assessable to the best of an officer’s judgment.

For the purpose of computing interest on unpaid tax, the Income Tax due on such an assessment is treated as payable when it would have been due if a correct return had been made.

It may be argued that making such assessments is pointless because:
- the paying company has failed to deduct IT but the recipient company has been taxed on the gross interest received, or
- an assessment on the paying company would merely generate a set-off for the recipient under CHAPTER15 or against Corporation Tax.
However, while the two companies may be happy with this approach, HMRC cannot sanction a departure from the statutory position.

The intention must, therefore, be to put the parties into the same position that they would have found themselves in had the paying company correctly accounted for IT. The first step is to make an assessment under CHAPTER15 on the paying company. Once the IT is paid by that company, the corresponding set-off or repayment of IT can be made in arriving at the recipient company's liabilities.

Any settlement of the effective over-payment from the payer to the recipient is then a matter between those parties. That overpayment is not a relevant payment as it is not paid under the agreement or arrangements under which the relevant payments are paid.

Where the obligation to deduct IT arises by virtue of ITA07/S874 (1)(d), payment of yearly interest arising in the UK by any person to another person whose usual place of abode is outside the UK, see INTM413210 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm413210) onwards, including the practice at INTM413230 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm413230). This is the UK’s mechanism for collecting what is usually referred to in international tax law as 'withholding tax' and, provided that the recipient of the interest makes a certified application to HMRC’s treaty team fulfilling the relevant requirements, may be subject to benefits provided under Double Taxation Agreements. The charge is under ITTOIA05/PART4/CHAPTER2, but may be removed or reduced under TIOPA10/PART2/CHAPTER1.

This report is focused on hunger hotspot countries. The review identifies a rich evidence base on the gender dimensions of food insecurity, with more limited evidence that provides learning from interventions relevant to acute food insecurity contexts.

The sampling frame used is Inter-departmental Business Register (IDBR). A stratified sampling technique known as the Neyman Allocation is used. The overall Index of Services is calculated by weighting together industry level indices that describe the activity of an industry sector using the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). Weights are based on the relative share of regional GVA on an annual basis.

Environmental permitting: groundwater activities in Wales
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-08)

This guidance is intended to help the regulator, the regulated community, and others with an interest in groundwater activities.

It describes the views of the Secretary of State for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Welsh Ministers on how the legislation relating to groundwater activities should be applied and how particular terms should be interpreted in Wales.

In England, follow separate guidance for environmental permitting for groundwater activities (https://draft-origin.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/publications/environmental-permitting-for-groundwater-activities?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIyNGZkY2U2My0zM2Q0LTRiMjEtYjkzMi01YTZkNDNhNDQ1ODkiLCJjb250ZW50X2lkIjoiYzNiNjJjMjAtZDlmNy00MWVkLTlmOTUtYzRiMzAzMjcxZjEzIiwiaWF0IjoxNzQyMzkzNjk2LCJleHAiOjE3NDUwNjg0OTZ9.g35c8ffepSDxUO3k_58dJjqhGViF6mUijibPv8Cy7mU&utm_campaign=govuk_publishing&utm_medium=preview&utm_source=share).

This guidance explains the legal requirements but only the national courts can give a definitive interpretation of the legislation.

‘Groundwater activities’ includes both those activities that require a permit, and those activities that are unlawful, for instance causing pollution to groundwater, whether deliberate or accidental.

This guidance should be read in conjunction with the environmental permitting core guidance (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/environmental-permitting-guidance-core-guidance--2).

Promoting work as a health outcome: guidance for AHP leaders
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-14)

Guidance developed with allied health professional (AHP) leaders to support the promotion of work as a health outcome.

Allied health professionals (AHPs) play a crucial role in preventing worklessness and promoting return to work through holistic, person-centred approaches.

Work is a primary determinant of health: good work is protective of health, while unemployment and poor-quality jobs contribute significantly to poor health outcomes and health inequalities. Clinical leaders have a duty to bring focus to the opportunities to support people to access, remain in and return to good work as part of clinical services.

This guidance has been co-developed with AHPs, professional bodies and expert advisers for use by AHP leaders in organisations, systems and regions. It is intended to support AHP leaders to confidently advise, advocate and take action on the topic of work and health. This guide focuses on 3 aspects where leaders can support change:
- understanding and influencing the wider system related to work and health
- supporting the whole workforce to understand their role in work and health
- optimising AHP input to work and health specific services

Scottish Secretary: Scotland must not miss out on nuclear opportunities
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-03)

Scotland is becoming globally isolated on nuclear power - missing out on much needed skilled jobs and economic growth - because of the Scottish Government’s ideological stance on nuclear power.

Scotland is becoming globally isolated on nuclear power and missing out on jobs and clean power.

Ian Murray urges the Scottish Government to drop their ideological opposition.

Call comes ahead of a visit to Torness Nuclear Power Station.

Scotland is becoming globally isolated on nuclear power - missing out on much needed skilled jobs and economic growth - because of the Scottish Government’s ideological stance on nuclear power.

Nuclear energy could create thousands of new, highly-skilled jobs in Scotland, while delivering clean, secure and more affordable energy for working people. Reliable, cheap nuclear power can support critical modern infrastructure in Scotland, such as supercomputers.

Speaking ahead of a visit to Torness Nuclear Power Station in East Lothian today [Thursday 3 July], Scottish Secretary Ian Murray cited new research which shows that Scotland risks becoming one of few areas in Europe where the devolved government is publicly against new nuclear development.

Mr Murray said:

In other parts of the UK, the UK Government is driving forward nuclear power, as are countries across Europe and indeed the world. But in Scotland the Scottish Government clings to its ideological objection to new nuclear sites. That means that Scotland is being left behind, missing out on thousands of skilled jobs and economic growth, as well as clean affordable energy. I urge the Scottish Government to put Scotland’s interests first.

The research by the Nuclear Industry Association and World Nuclear Association shows that 87 per cent of the world economy is pursuing new nuclear power, including France, Sweden, Finland and the Netherlands. Many previously anti-nuclear European countries are abandoning their positions, including Italy, Denmark, and Belgium, while Germany has dropped its opposition to EU-level initiatives on nuclear energy.

The UK Government has committed to building Sizewell C and Small Nuclear Reactors as part of our drive to deliver cleaner, more affordable energy.

Tom Greatrex, Chief Executive of the Nuclear Industry Association said:

Nuclear in Scotland will bring jobs and growth as well as a constant supply of secure, reliable and clean electricity that complements other low carbon sources. As countries around the world are increasingly embracing nuclear as an integral part of achieving energy security, decarbonisation and minimising the exposure to the volatility of fossil fuel prices. The Scottish Government’s refusal to countenance replacing Torness when it retires in a few years is indicative of a fundamental lack of seriousness of policy.

Since Torness started operating in 1988, it has contributed more than £16.1 billion to the UK economy and supported more than 2,600 jobs a year. Together Hunterston B and Torness have contributed more than £29.4 billion to the UK economy.
