Draft amendment to the Competition Act 1998 (Public Transport Ticketing Schemes Block Exemption) Order 2001
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-01)

This consultation seeks feedback on the legal drafting of an Order amending the Competition Act 1998 (Public Transport Ticketing Schemes Block Exemption) Order 2001.

The Secretary of State for Business and Trade has accepted the Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA) recommendation to vary the Competition Act 1998 (Public Transport Ticketing Schemes Block Exemption) Order 2001 (PTTSBE) so that it will not expire on 28 February 2026 but will continue without fixed duration.

The Secretary of State has also accepted the CMA’s recommendation to make an amendment to the definition of ‘connecting service’ in Article 3 of the PTTSBE to clarify how the exemption relates to ‘trunk bus services’, which are long distance services that also have some parts operating as local public transport services.

The draft Order also makes provision for the Secretary of State to review the PTTSBE within 5 years of the date the Order comes into force and subsequently every 5 years.

No other changes are being proposed to the PTTSBE.

Therefore, the purpose of the Order is to give effect to the CMA’s recommendation that the PTTSBE continues without fixed duration and to clarify how the exemption relates to trunk bus services.

The draft explanatory memorandum includes a more detailed explanation of the draft legislation.

This consultation welcomes views and feedback on this draft Order to ensure it delivers the policy correctly and effectively.

You can send your feedback and response to xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

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 E W Beard Limited 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 E W Beard Limited 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

- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists

We also pledge the following:

Supporting employees who choose to raise funds for Services focussed charities through the Beard Foundation.

Fairness assessment including statistical analysis of the Universal Credit advances machine learning model: 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-16)

The assessment includes ad-hoc statistics on the impact of the Universal Credit (UC) advances machine learning model on groups with protected characteristics.

The UC Advances machine learning model is used to identify advance payment requests at higher risk of fraud. This fairness assessment on the UC Advances model considers the results of statistical fairness analysis alongside other factors such as model performance, fraud risk and operational safeguards, and reviews the extent to which any measured statistical disparity may impact claimants. It is the Department for Work and Pensions’ (DWP’s) assessment that there are minimal concerns of discrimination, unfair treatment or detrimental impact on legitimate claimants arising from the Advances model. Therefore, it remains reasonable and proportionate to continue operating the Advances model as a fraud prevention control.

Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)

Applications for prestigious UK Chevening scholarships for fully funded master’s degrees opened today (5 August) to Pakistani students.

Chevening is the UK Government’s global scholarship programme. It supports individuals with strong leadership potential who want to bring positive change to their communities and country. Scholarships are open to mid-career professionals with at least two years of work experience after graduation.

The scholarship covers tuition fees, flights, visas and a monthly allowance for accommodation and living costs. Candidates will live and study in the UK for a year, during which time they will develop professionally and academically, network extensively, experience UK culture, and build lasting positive relationships with the UK.

British High Commissioner to Pakistan, Jane Marriott CMG OBE, said:

Chevening is a launchpad for Pakistan’s exceptional future leaders. It offers more than just a world-class education. It provides the space to grow, the networks to connect globally, and the confidence to lead with purpose. If you have the leadership potential and the ambition to make a difference, I strongly encourage you to apply.

From 5 August to 7 October 2025, talented Pakistanis can apply for fully funded master’s degrees at UK universities. Applicants must show leadership, influence, and networking skills through real-life examples.

Chevening began in 1983 and now has over 60,000 alumni from more than 160 countries. It is one of the world’s most respected scholarship programmes. There are over 2,000 Chevening alumni, many of whom are leaders in their field.

Prospective candidates can submit their applications via chevening.org/apply.

Rabies post-exposure treatment: management guidelines
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-30)

A practical guide to undertaking a risk assessment of potential rabies exposures and the correct use of post-exposure treatment (PET).

Interim recommendations for the use of human rabies immunoglobulin (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rabies-post-exposure-prophylaxis-management-guidelines/interim-recommendations-for-human-rabies-immunoglobulin-hrig-use) were issued on 27 June 2025. These recommendations supersede guidance on the use of rabies immunoglobulin within the UKHSA guidelines on managing rabies post-exposure treatment. The current guidance on use of rabies vaccine for post-exposure treatment remain the same.

Please refer to the Rabies risks by country list (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rabies-risks-by-country) if undertaking a post-exposure risk assessment. The country risk list within the guidance document may not contain the latest and most up to date country risk information.

This guidance is aimed at duty doctors at the UK Health Security Agency Colindale, at health protection teams and other health professionals who may be involved in the assessment and management of potential rabies exposures.

Rabies is a viral encephalitis and can be fatal. Prompt treatment after exposure is the most effective way to prevent disease.

Post-exposure treatment (PET) using rabies vaccine with or without human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG) is highly effective in preventing disease, if given correctly and promptly after exposure.

The letter is to all A&E departments and hospital pharmacists requesting them to hold or have access to rabies vaccines so that rabies post-exposure treatment can be started promptly.

This is guidance for healthcare professionals only. If you are a member of the public and are concerned that you might have been exposed to rabies, please refer to the NHS advice about rabies (https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nhs.uk%2Fconditions%2Frabies%2F&data=05%7C02%7CKatherine.Russell%40ukhsa.gov.uk%7Ce5aa5275b0a4427e4b9108ddb58109eb%7Cee4e14994a354b2ead475f3cf9de8666%7C0%7C0%7C638866288013202551%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=qBf%2Bfcwe66JMPoq0AesIzfYZPQechjQklFfjYfveGn4%3D&reserved=0).

Touchstone 2024 award winners announced
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-04)

Winners demonstrate an ongoing commitment to hallmarking activities and to developing new external partnerships.

The British Hallmarking Council (BHC) is delighted to announce that Hull City Trading Standards have won the prestigious Touchstone Award for 2024.

The UK has one of the most rigorous and long-established hallmarking regimes in the world, which delivers significant benefits to UK consumers and legitimate businesses.

Each year the Council invites applications to be submitted for the Touchstone Award from Trading Standards professionals across the UK. The award, sponsored by the four UK Assay Offices and the National Association of Jewellers, is presented for the most innovative activity related to hallmarking enforcement and education.

Hull City Trading Standards were judged to be highly worthy winners due to:
- the demonstration of their consistent, ongoing commitment to hallmarking activities
- their commitment to developing new external partnerships
- the wide breadth of audiences engaged across both physical and online retail domains
- the positive outcomes of inspections (including one ongoing case of fraud)
The judging panel welcomed the quality of applications overall and the ongoing commitment of Trading Standards to this valuable work.

The solid silver Touchstone Award was formally awarded at the Chartered Trading Standards Institute annual conference dinner in June. A presentation, luncheon and hallmarking training event was also held at The Goldsmiths’ Company Assay Office in London in November.

Applications for the 2025 Touchstone Award will re-open in January 2025.

Civil Society Covenant: Accessible aviation with AATFG
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-17)

Co-designing accessible aviation through partnership.

Established in November 2024 and chaired by Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, the Aviation Accessibility Task and Finish Group (AATFG) united industry, the regulator, and consumer advocates. This Department for Transport-facilitated group aimed to co-design practical improvements for disabled and less mobile air travellers.

The initiative emphasises inclusive collaboration, actively engaging civil society, disability charities, and individuals with lived experience through roundtables, direct feedback, and deep dives. This approach directly contributes to Labour’s manifesto commitment to championing the rights of disabled people and to the principle of working with them, ensuring their views and voices are at the heart of all policy and action. The emphasis was on practical changes and ongoing dialogue with disabled passengers to ensure meaningful, sustainable improvements.

This inclusive approach has positively influenced government-civil society relations. Actively involving disability advocacy groups and individuals, has enabled a collaborative and inclusive process. This aims to build trust and mutual understanding, where disabled citizens’ concerns are heard.

Notable achievements included establishing direct engagement with disabled individuals and charities, fostering a collaborative policy approach, and setting a precedent for meaningfully including marginalised groups in policies that directly affect them.

The profiles provide an overview of palliative and end of life care in England at various geographies.

The update for March 2025 has been published by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID).

There are updates to:
- the patterns of care factsheet, with data for deaths that occurred in England in 2023
- one indicator, percentage of deaths with 3 or more emergency admissions in the last 90 days of life, with data for deaths that occurred in England in 2023
The palliative and end of life care profiles are presented in an interactive tool which aims to help local government and health services improve care at the end of life.

Correction notice

In the ‘Main findings’ section of the statistical commentary, a typographical error was identified in the reported percentage of deaths (all ages) in 2023 with 3 or more emergency admissions in the last 90 days of life. The figure was published as 5.6% but should have read 6.2%. The corrected value has now been updated in the publication. There are no other changes to the report.

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.

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 page and chapter are under review as the relevant content is also published in the technical guidance chapters of the Compliance Handbook (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook), within Compliance checks factsheets (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hm-revenue-and-customs-compliance-checks-factsheets) and in Compliance checks guidance (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hmrc-compliance-checks-help-and-support). If you use particular pages regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know the specific content you find useful.

Offshore arrangements by individuals could involve Swiss assets and investments.

If the offshore asset or investment is in Switzerland you will need to consider the effect of the terms of the UK Switzerland Agreement on tax cooperation (HMRC website).

There is more guidance at INTM800000 (http://home.active.hmrci/intmanual/INTM800000.htm).

Assets

The agreement provides UK resident individuals holding a beneficial interest in Swiss assets at 31 December 2010 with the choice of either
- paying a one-off charge to address past UK tax liabilities or
- authorising details of their assets to be disclosed to HMRC.
Top of page (#Top)

Income and gains

The agreement also provides that UK resident individuals who have income and gains arising in Switzerland from 1 January 2013 onwards will either
- be subject to withholding tax or
- details of the income and gains will be disclosed to HMRC.
Where a one-off charge or withholding tax has been paid, the individual will have a certificate.

ECSH32625 - Visits to a HMRC Large Business
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-29)


Where you have a case which involves an HMRC Large Business, you must be aware that there are additional factors to consider before you make initial contact and throughout your compliance intervention.

A HMRC Large Business is defined by the amount of its turnover or assets, for more information on this, see the Customer Compliance Group Directorate. You should note that an HMRC Large Business is different to an Economic Crime - Supervision (EC-S) Large Trader. EC-S Large traders are categorised as businesses with more than 66 registered premises - see ECSH44390 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh44390).

You may find that the business is both an HMRC Large Business and an EC-S Large Trader.

What to consider

You must follow the Standard Work Instructions (SWI) within the Knowledge Library for visits to HMRC Large Businesses. This explains the PORATO system (Planning – Overview – Registration – Anti-money laundering risk assessment and procedures – Testing – Outcome).

(This content has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)

You may need to consider the locations of the premises if there are more than one (see ECSH32630 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh32630)).

As best practice, you should appoint a deputy to ensure business continuity. This is where another caseworker is appointed to deputise for you in long periods of absence if required, or for example, as another point of contact for caseworkers if you have coordinated multiple branch visits. It may also provide a development opportunity for caseworkers who have not worked a large business case before. You should discuss any arrangements with your manager.

Some businesses pay the Economic Crime Levy, this is not something EC-S deals with. For more information, see ECSH26000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh26000).

What to consider if the business is an EC-S Large Trader

If the business is an EC-S Large Trader, and you are unable to view registration details from ETMP, you should contact the EC-S Large Trader team. See ECSH44390. (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh44390)
