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 Iffley Road 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;

Three sentenced over illegal waste activity in Northamptonshire
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-07)

Three defendants have been fined for their involvement in illegal waste activity in Northamptonshire, following an investigation by the Environment Agency.

The defendants were sentenced on 27th February at Northampton Magistrates’ Court for waste offences at Mill Farm near Kettering. They were ordered to pay fines, victim surcharges and prosecution costs of more than £75,000.

From 2019 to 2021, Environment Agency officers investigated the site in Great Cransley which David Goodjohn, 64 of Grange Road, Geddington, and his company, Green Infrastructure Ltd, operated without an environmental permit. They have been ordered to pay almost £32,000.

34,000 tonnes of waste was stored at the site with large quantities of mixed waste piled over 10 metres high, becoming an eyesore for the local community. Despite repeated visits, the Environment Agency’s guidance was ignored for over two years.

The third defendant, Storefield Aggregates, failed to comply with the waste duty of care by sending more than 24,000 tonnes of waste to the site between 2019 and 2021. It was ordered to pay more than £43,000.

The Environment Agency sent warning letters to two further companies which also deposited waste at the site.

Yvonne Daly, Environment Agency Manager, said:

We work to stop illegal waste activities and support legitimate business whilst protecting communities and nature from harm. We take illegal waste activity very seriously and will not hesitate to disrupt activity and prosecute those responsible.

Anyone who suspects illegal waste activity should report it to the Environment Agency’s 24-hour incident hotline on xx-xxxx-xxxx, or anonymously through CrimeStoppers on xx-xxxx-xxxx.

This report outlines the results of research into fugitive methane emissions from anaerobic digestion sites, including an assessment of different measurement techniques.

DESNZ commissioned the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) to undertake research to improve understanding of methane emissions from Anaerobic Digestion (AD) sites.

NPL surveyed 7 AD sites to better understand the potential sources of methane emissions and the magnitude of those emissions. Different techniques were used for both short and long-term monitoring of emissions, predominantly relying on Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL).

This research improves the evidence base on fugitive methane emissions location and magnitude and will help inform future policy.

Retailers must use one of the following:
- the HM Revenue and Customs version of form VAT 407(NI);
- a fully compliant version of the VAT 407(NI) of either their own design or a refund company’s design; or
- a fully compliant adapted invoice for the VAT Retail Export Scheme,
to record the details of the sale for certification at the point of exit from Northern Ireland and the EU. All versions of the VAT 407(NI) forms used by retailers or refund companies must contain the same information as the official HMRC version of form VAT 407(NI).

These documents are for reference only.

Access the 2025 Individual voluntary arrangement (IVA) protocol (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/individual-voluntary-arrangement-iva-protocol) and related documents.

An individual voluntary arrangement (IVA) is an agreement between a person in debt and his/her creditors. It is a formal (contractual) agreement and can be as flexible as the individual’s circumstances allow.

The protocol aims to make the handling of consumer IVAs as straightforward as possible, supporting the valid public policy objective of providing debt relief for individuals in financial distress. Whilst also putting the person at the centre of this process, making it easy to understand along with the associated paperwork and the impact an IVA will have on their lives.

Standard framework

The IVA protocol is a standard framework for dealing with consumer IVAs. It applies to both IVA providers and creditors.

By accepting the content of the protocol, IVA providers and creditors agree to follow the processes and agreed documentation that form part of the protocol. Using it to draw up proposals based on the standard documentation that follows the protocol.

Creditors are expected to abide by the terms of the protocol in relation to proposals drawn up on that basis.

Consumer IVAs

A person suitable for a straightforward consumer IVA is likely to be:
- be in receipt of a regular sustainable income other than State benefits or State pension
- have multiple debts with a combined total of £7,000 or more
- have uncomplicated assets
- not otherwise be able to repay their debts in full within the proposed IVA period
- not be eligible for a debt relief order.
Operation of the IVA protocol

The IVA Standing Committee was set up to meet regularly and provide information about the operation of the IVA Protocol, in particular:
- how it interacts with the IVA regime generally
- to identify problems/issues arising in the operation of the Protocol at an early stage
- to act as a discussion forum for stakeholders and ensure that information concerning the operation of the IVA regime generally and particularly Protocol cases can be effectively shared and discussed
- to review periodically the Protocol and its standard terms and conditions to ensure they are fit for purpose and to make any changes that are needed

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 Mifuture Group 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;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Mifuture Group 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.

Universal Periodic Review 49: UK Statement on Lao People's Democratic Republic
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-29)

Statement by the UK's Ambassador for Human Rights to the UN, Eleanor Sanders, at Lao PDR's Universal Periodic Review at the Human Rights Council in Geneva.

Thank you Mr Vice President.

The United Kingdom welcomes the Lao PDR’s engagement with UN human rights mechanisms and its efforts to address human rights challenges. We are pleased with the inclusion of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women in Laos’ action plans.

However, the UK remains concerned over restrictions on freedom of expression, assembly and religion. We are also concerned by limited land rights for vulnerable communities and the worsening issue of human trafficking linked to serious organised crime.

We urge the Government to act on these issues and uphold its international obligations. In particular, we recommend that Laos;

Takes immediate steps to protect and promote civic space, ensuring that all individuals can freely exercise their rights without fear of reprisal.

Ensures that development projects respect the rights of affected communities, including noting the principle of free, prior and informed consent.

Implements its international obligations under the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially women and children and to collaborate with regional and international partners to address this issue.

Thank you.

Efforts to share best practices on AI measurement and evaluations driven forward through the International Network for Advanced AI Measurement, Evaluation and Science
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-09)

Network members representing major global economies have committed to re-double their shared focus on the science of AI measurement and evaluations following their latest round of talks in San Diego last week.

- The International Network of AI Safety Institutes becomes the International Network for Advanced AI Measurement, Evaluation and Science
- Group’s re-focus reflects long-term priorities and pace of AI development, with the UK taking on the role of Network Coordinator
- Changes confirmed following latest gathering of the group in San Diego
Network members representing major global economies have committed to re-double their shared focus on the science of AI measurement and evaluations following their latest round of talks in San Diego last week.

The meeting confirmed the International Network of AI Safety Institutes’ transition into the International Network for Advanced AI Measurement Evaluation and Science, reflecting its evolving priorities to ensure the science of AI measurement and evaluation can continue to keep pace with the technology’s development.

The UK now takes on a Network Coordinator role as part of the changes, which will see it helping shape efforts to rigorous approaches to scientific measurements of AI across the globe.

Established in November 2024, the Network brings together Australia, Canada, the European Union, France, Japan, Kenya, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States to build shared scientific understanding and internationally recognised approaches for measuring and evaluating the capabilities of advanced AI.

Since its creation, the Network has exchanged knowledge on AI evaluation and measurement to help countries align on best practices. Boosting public trust in the technology is vital to AI adoption - helping to unlock groundbreaking innovations, deliver new jobs, and forge new opportunities for businesses and innovators to scale up and succeed.

The update reflects the Network’s ongoing evolution. The San Diego meeting took place alongside NeurIPS, one of the world’s leading AI research conferences, offering an opportunity for deeper exchanges between government, academia, and industry.

AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said:

Trust in AI isn’t a choice - it’s a necessity. That’s why the Network’s mission, and our new role as its coordinator, is to make trust the foundation of progress.

By bringing nations together on evaluation and research, we’ll lead from the front, shape the global future of AI, and unlock its benefits for everyone.

Adam Beaumont, Interim Director of the AI Security Institute, said:

Advanced AI systems are being developed and deployed globally, so our approach to evaluating them has to be global too. That is why this Network is so important.

Our focus will be on supporting partners to develop rigorous, practical ways of testing advanced AI.
