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 Southport College 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 Southport College 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:
- Education: Through education we will uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, ensuring that no member of the Armed Forces community faces disadvantages in accessing education, employment, or support services.
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.

Information on forthcoming, probable procurements at the UK Atomic Energy Authority.

The procurement pipeline provides details on the upcoming opportunities at the UK Atomic Energy Authority.

UKAEA aims to be open and transparent by providing medium-term plans and longer-term visibility of forthcoming procurement opportunities, enabling the supply chain to make informed decisions to tender for work. The procurement pipeline will be reviewed and updated quarterly.

The pipeline includes contact details for each activity to encourage meaningful engagement with interested parties who wish to engage in tender activity. All tender activity will be managed in accordance with UK Procurement Regulations and Cabinet Office Policy Notes.

UKAEA will make every effort to ensure the information provided is aligned to programme and project plans. All dates, estimated contract values and procurement routes are provided as a guide and are subject to change, including the removal and amendment of opportunities.

UKAEA uses the platforms below for advertising our procurements:

Find a Tender – Public Sector opportunity for work is published on the Central Digital Platform. Suppliers must be registered on Find a Tender to participate. This is also where we will publish the Pipeline notice for any projects over the value of £2 million (VAT included). All information on how to access the project documents will be captured on the notice published on Find a Tender.

Government Frameworks – These are existing Public Sector Framework awarded by Crown Commercial Services or other compliant procurement agencies for utilisation by the wider public sector.

UKAEA Commercial Pipeline - Advertising new procurement opportunities with a cumulative value more than £25,000 (VAT excluded), as well as aspirational opportunities, pre-commercial activities, and Preliminary Market Engagement Notices (PME).

RFIG21010 - Statutory Residence Test (SRT): Split year treatment: What a split year is
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-04)


Under the SRT, an individual is either UK resident or non-UK resident for a full tax year, and at all times in that tax year.

However, if during a year the individual starts to live or work abroad, or comes from abroad to live or work in the UK, the tax year will be split into 2 parts, if their circumstances meet specific criteria:
- a UK part for which they will be charged to UK tax as a UK resident
- an overseas part for which, for most purposes, the individual will be charged to UK tax as a non-UK resident.
Under the SRT an individual who is resident in the UK for a year is obliged to consider whether split year treatment applies to them. They must consider each of the cases of split year and decide if, in respect of each case, they meet all the conditions.

If they meet all the conditions of one of the cases of split year it will be applied to them. The individual does not have a choice whether split year treatment applies.

If they meet all the conditions of more than 1 case of split year the priority ordering rules are applied. See RFIG21030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-and-fig-regime-manual/rfig21030) for more details.

The HMRC booklet RDR1 provides a broad guide to the taxation of different income sources to determine the impact split year treatment will have on the tax an individual has to pay.

PM's remarks in Downing Street meeting with the families of Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe, and Alice Aguiar.

Let me just start by saying thank you so much for coming in, and you’re very welcome.

I know you’ve got some plans that you want to show us, so we’re very much looking forward to seeing those plans, to honour Bebe, Alice and Elsie.

I know that the plan is very much developing on the idea of the gardens in a very special way, and so we’re looking forward to seeing that.

There’s already the prospect of some funding to go towards the gardens to make them exactly as you want them.

And as a proper honour to the three girls, I’m really pleased to tell you today that the government will make up the rest of the money, so that as from today, you know that this project is secure and will go ahead.

Thank you for coming to show us the plans. Thank you for your continued courage and resilience.

As I’ve said to you all a number of times, I think most people in the country would say they wouldn’t know how to deal with the situation, but you’ve shown courage and resilience and come forward with these plans, which will then be a great honour and an incredible thing for so many people and for children as they make use of the gardens, which is a wonderful thing to do. So thank you very much for that.

And also we sit here as Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, but we sit here as human beings with families of our own. And we sit here on behalf of millions of people who would love to see the plans and to say well done for bringing them forward and getting to this point.

So through us, the thanks of millions of people in this country. I know there’ll be a sense that all of us alongside you will want to see these plans.

I think when they understand the concept of what you’re doing here, I think they’ll be really moved and touched by it. So thank you.

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 OPX 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.

Company insolvency statistics releases

This statistics collection contains the Insolvency Service’s statistical releases on company insolvency (companies that are unable to pay debts and enter liquidation; or enter administration or other company rescue process).

This page includes monthly statistical releases on company insolvencies in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Prior to March 2024, this statistics publication was released only quarterly. These historic quarterly publications can also be found on this page. A combined company and individual monthly statistics publication that was produced between April 2020 and February 2024 can be found here (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/monthly-insolvency-statistics).

This publication is designated as accredited official statistics. The publication was independently reviewed by the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR) in July 2024. They comply with the standards of trustworthiness, quality, and value in the Code of Practice for Statistics. Further details of the OSR’s review of these statistics can be found in their published Compliance Check (https://osr.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/correspondence/mark-pont-to-john-perrett-compliance-check-of-individual-insolvency-and-company-insolvency-statistics/).

A one-off publication on Corporate Insolvencies by Size, Age and Location is also included on this page. This experimental Official Statistics release broke down enterprise insolvencies by turnover, number of employees, age and region. This publication is not consistent with the Company Insolvency Statistics release as it is on an enterprise and not a company basis. There are currently no plans to publish an updated version of this.

Product Safety Report for Bugaboo Giraffe Highchair presenting a risk of injuries.

Summary

Product: Bugaboo Giraffe Highchair

Hazard: The product presents a risk of injuries as when an infant is seated in the baby set accessory seat in the highchair, the legs of the highchair can detach from the frame if the screws attaching the legs to the frame are not tightly secured.

Corrective action: Bugaboo has launched a modification programme and will provide a free repair kit containing revised screws, an updated Allen key and a user manual on the proper application of the screws.

Product information

Hazard

When an infant is seated in the baby set accessory seat in the highchair, the legs of the highchair can detach from the frame if the consumer has not sufficiently tightened the screws attaching the legs to the frame. Bugaboo UK Limited understands that this can occur due to the opposing forces an infant’s thighs and feet can place on the upper baby set accessory seat and footrest. The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

Corrective action

Bugaboo has launched a modification programme and will provide a free repair kit containing revised screws, an updated Allen key and a user manual on the proper application of the screws (the Repair Kit). You can check if your Bugaboo Giraffe needs a repair kit here: https://service.bugaboo.com/s/bugaboo-giraffe-repair-kit-checker?language=en_GB&Country=GB.

If you want to continue using your Bugaboo Giraffe highchair until you have replaced the screws using the Repair Set, you can only do so safely if you put the footrest in its lowest position. You can put the footrest in its lowest position by pressing the two buttons located on either side of the footrest while sliding the footrest down.

CG52502 - Capital Gains Manual: Shares and Securities: Company reconstructions: non-UK law issues
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-02)


The rules dealing with share exchanges and company reconstructions in sections 135 and 136 TCGA were drafted in the context of transactions that take place under UK company law. Sometimes it is not straightforward to see whether they can apply to transactions undertaken under non-UK company law. For example, some other states’ merger provisions can involve two companies literally merging into one with the surviving company retaining the legal personality of either one, or possibly both, of the original companies.

The most common issue that arises is whether the condition in section 135 is met in terms of the shareholders in the original company (company A) exchanging their interests in that company for an issue of shares in another (company B) where the non-UK company law procedure involves another company (MergerCo) as an intermediate step.

HMRC’s view is that section 135 is capable of applying in such a case where, on a realistic view, company B acquires the full benefit of the shares originally held in company A and the overall effect of the transaction is the same as had those shares been acquired directly, as would happen under UK company law. A similar approach is taken where section 136 is in point.

One particularly common type of transaction is a ‘reverse triangular’ merger under the law of a US state, although variations are seen elsewhere.

Example –

A UK based multinational (B plc) intends to acquire a US corporation (A Inc) in return for an issue of shares. This will take place using a reverse triangular merger under Delaware law. Will section 135 apply to A Inc’s UK shareholders?

The transaction involves the following elements –
- B plc incorporates MergerCo for a nominal amount,
- The A Inc shares are converted into a right to receive an issue of shares by B plc and are then cancelled.
- The shares in MergerCo are converted into and become shares in A Inc.
- The original shareholders of A Inc are issued directly with new shares in B plc in consideration.
If the other conditions of section 135 are met, including the absence of a UK tax risk, HMRC would accept that B plc has issued shares in exchange for those in A Inc. The transaction will therefore be treated as a share reorganisation for the UK shareholders of A Inc. In addition, no gain would arise to B plc as a result of any disposal of its interest in MergerCo.
