These policy papers set out how the government funds apprenticeships in England.

They explain the apprenticeship funding policy that applies to apprentices who started on or after 1 August 2025.

Previous versions of the policy papers are available on the UK Government Web Archive (https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20250218161612/https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apprenticeship-funding), covering updates back to 2017.

The apprenticeship funding rules (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apprenticeship-funding-rules) gives guidance on the rules that employers and training providers must follow to get funding for training and assessing apprentices.

Further information

In December 2020, we ran a consultation on how the apprenticeship budget is managed. You can read the consultation response (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apprenticeship-funding-eligible-and-ineligible-costs-of-training).

DMCK Maintenance
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-10)

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 DMCK Maintenance 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 DMCK Maintenance 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 Spouses And Partners
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
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.
Means of escape in residential buildings research
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-06)

Final report for research undertaken by OFR Consultants, GHD/Movement Strategies, the University of Edinburgh and Efectis, commissioned by the Building Safety Regulator.

This report and its appendices, produced by OFR Consultants, summarises the research commissioned by government. The findings and recommendations do not represent government policy or guidance but form part of the technical review of the statutory guidance for fire safety in buildings in England given by Approved Document B.

The research is in response to BSR’s goal to ‘Evaluate evacuation strategies using a robust modelling approach considering the analysis of the effectiveness of physical design measures and human behaviour (including impact of public confidence and perceptions)’ in high-rise residential buildings.

This work measures evacuation performance using representative scenarios, including challenging building smoke movement situations. It is informed by an understanding of the physical design measures in buildings that support evacuation and behavioural factors that influence occupant movement and decision-making.

The study also engaged with residents, fire and rescue service (FRS) personnel and other professionals to gain specific insights on relevant evacuation behaviour and building design characteristics. The findings from this study have allowed for an investigation of key design, procedural and response factors to deliver quantitative information that can enable a competent professional to evaluate the evacuation performance of high-rise residential buildings.

CTM15280 - Distributions: general: transfers not at market value - other tax implications
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-24)


If a company transfers an asset or liability at other than market value this may have tax implications quite apart from the distributions provisions.

For example, the disposal of trading stock other than in the course of trade is subject to the Petrotim Securities Ltd v Ayres (see BIM33610 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim33610)) principle. Another example is TIOPA10/PART4 that can apply to sales between associated persons.

A transaction between a company and a member that is to the member's advantage or benefit can result in both
- a Corporation Tax (CT) liability on the company, and
- a liability on the company and member in respect of the distribution.
This is consistent with the rule that:
- a company pays CT on its profits with no deduction for distributions, and
- the distribution carries its own tax consequences on the member.
As an example, a company worth £100,000 might transfer trading stock worth £10,000 to a member for £4,000. The company is then worth £94,000, and has effectively distributed £6,000 to the member. The Petrotim adjustment increases the company's profits by £6,000, which is the difference between the open market value of the stock and the price paid by the member. The distribution of £6,000, which is the value the member has withdrawn from the company, is caught by CTA10/S1000 (1) G.

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 Whittaker and Co 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Whittaker and Co 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
- Discounts
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.

UK port freight traffic: 2024 forecasts
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-21)

Forecasts of freight traffic at major UK ports up to 2050.

This document sets out the Department for Transport (DfT) 2024 forecasts for freight traffic at UK ports between 2024 and 2050.

These forecasts aim to inform long-term strategic thinking for the UK ports sector, including in the context of the National Policy Statement for Ports (NPSP) (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-policy-statement-for-ports). The NPSP highlights the importance of the ports sector to the UK economy.

The port traffic forecast model looks at 14 cargo categories and matches those used in port freight statistics. They can be grouped into 4 broad types of transportation:
- unitised freight
- liquid bulk
- dry bulk
- general cargo
The forecasts are given at a national level and are based on freight traffic data passing through major UK ports only. They replace the previous set of UK port freight traffic forecasts, published in 2019.

If you have any feedback on the forecasts, contact: xxx@xxx.xx. (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx.)
Smart Secure Electricity Systems (SSES) Programme: draft load control licence regulations and conditions
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-10)

We're seeking views on the proposed regulations, including the licence conditions designed to protect consumers and the electricity system.

The Smart Secure Electricity Systems (SSES) Programme aims to unlock domestic-scale flexibility through the use of energy smart appliances (ESAs), such as domestic electric vehicle charge points, heat pumps and battery energy storage systems (BESS).

These appliances enable organisations to manage the electricity demand of consumers who participate in load control, helping to create a more flexible and efficient energy system. It is a key enabler for consumer-led flexibility that will help consumers make energy bill savings.

To support this transition, government is proposing a new load control licence framework. The consultation outlines:
- proposed regulations and licence conditions for managing load control on domestic-scale ESAs
- our approach to licensing requirements within a regulatory framework that ensures fairness, transparency and cybersecurity
This consultation builds on the proposals outlined in the 2024 Delivering a Smart Secure Electricity System consultation (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/delivering-a-smart-and-secure-electricity-system-implementation) and its government response, which defined licensable activities and the obligations of licensees.

Anyone is welcome to respond, but the consultation will be of particular interest to:
- energy and technology companies
- flexibility service providers
- load controllers
- consumer advocacy groups
- trade associations
- network operators
- academic institutions
In parallel, Ofgem has published a separate implementation consultation addressing licence applications, as well as the monitoring, compliance, and enforcement of licence obligations (https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/consultation/smart-secure-electricity-systems-implementing-load-control-licensing-regime).

Read our consultation privacy notice (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/desnz-consultations-privacy-notice/privacy-notice-relating-to-consultation-responses-received-by-desnz).

This consultation and the draft regulations form part of an interlinked set of SSES Programme policies including:
- Phase 1 ESA draft regulations (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/smart-secure-electricity-systems-sses-programme-first-phase-energy-smart-appliances-regulations)
- Tariff interoperability (https://recportal.co.uk/en/b/tariff-interoperability-consultation)
- Enduring governance (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/smart-secure-electricity-systems-programme-sses-enduring-governance)
- and builds on the policy proposals in the 2024 Delivering a Smart Secure Electricity System consultation and its government response (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/delivering-a-smart-and-secure-electricity-system-implementation)
