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 Volunteer Centre East Lothian 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;

CG40432 - Administration: insolvency: more than one distribution
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-12)


There is often more than one distribution during the course of winding up a company.Each distribution represents a part-disposal by the shareholder of the shares in thecompany (see CG57800 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg57800)) for instructions on part-disposals). In such a case, where the sharesof the company are unquoted at the date of the first or later distribution, an Inspectorshould accept any valuation from a taxpayer or agent of the residual value of the sharesat the date of the particular distribution for use in the part-disposal formula, providedthat
- the valuation appears reasonable, and
- the liquidation is expected to be completed within two years of the first distribution (and does not in fact extend much beyond that period).
The valuation need not include a discount for deferment. If the distributions arecompleted before the chargeable gains are assessed, it should be accepted that theresidual value of the shares in relation to a particular distribution is equal to theactual amount of all subsequent distributions.

AAIB investigation to Short Bros SD3-60, N915GD
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-09)

Runway undershoot at Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport, British Virgin Islands, 6 November 2024

On arrival at Terrance B Lettsome International Airport (TUPJ) in the British Virgin Islands, N915GD was likely affected by nearby thunderstorm activity, reportedly experiencing a downdraught on short finals. Despite the commander applying more power to “arrest the descent”, the aircraft initially touched down on the lip of Runway 07 (Rwy 07), approximately 150 m short of the threshold. It then bounced and touched down again close to the threshold. The airfield operations team later found a frangible runway light had been damaged by the aircraft when it undershot the runway.

While he knew the aircraft initially touched down in the undershoot, the commander was unaware that it had struck the light and did not file an occurrence report. The aircraft returned to its home base approximately one hour later.

An initial incorrect assessment of the severity of this incident, contributed to a delay in this serious incident being notified to the AAIB. This delay, combined with a paucity of information about the circumstances and handling of the event, made it difficult for the investigation to gain a detailed understanding of what had happened. It is unclear whether the undershoot resulted from the commander attempting to rescue an unstable approach or whether his application of power was the initiation of an unsuccessful go-around.

VTRANS080100 - Transport and related services connected with imports and exports: Law
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-24)


The law relating to the zero rate for transport and related to services connected with imports and exports is in the VAT Act 1994, Schedule 8, Group 8, item 11(a).

Item 11. The supply-

(a) of services consisting of

(i) the transport of goods to or from a place—

(a) from which they are to be exported to a place outside the United Kingdom, or

(b) to which they have been imported from a place outside the United Kingdom,

(ii) the handling or storage of those goods at the place from which the goods are to be so exported, or the place to which they have been so imported, or

(iii) the handling or storage of those goods in connection with their transport to or from that place, or

(b) to a person who receives the supply for the purpose of a business carried on by him and who belongs outside the United Kingdom, of services of a description specified in paragraph (a) of item 6, item 6A, item 9 or paragraph (a) of item 10 of this Group.

Interpretation

Item 11(a) of Group 8 zero-rates certain services, with a place of supply in the UK (see VATPOSTR (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-place-of-supply-transport/vatpostr)), which are connected with goods which have been imported from, or are to be exported to, a place outside the UK. Relief under this item is confined to services which have a direct connection with an actual movement of goods which are imported or exported, so it does not extend, for instance, to long term storage or other services unconnected with the movement of the goods.

Zero-rating can apply whether supplies are made by the main contractor or a sub-contractor, and also applies to freight forwarders who buy in these services and sell them on as principals.

World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund 2025, Development Committee plenary: Baroness Chapman's remarks
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-28)

Minister for Development Baroness Chapman gave remarks at the Development Committee plenary during the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund 2025 Annual Meetings.

Thank you, Chair, Ajay, and everyone at the Bank.

I have set out the UK’s priorities for the Bank in my written statement (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/world-bank-group-and-international-monetary-fund-2025-annual-meetings-development-committee-uk-governors-statement) – including conflict, climate change, raising private capital and creating jobs. Having a real impact on these is essential for our credibility.

But today I want to focus on another issue vital to this institution’s legitimacy: its governance. Twenty four low-income countries – with just 1.4% of shareholding. The 6 largest shareholders – with 40%.

If this Bank were a country, it would be the most unequal in the world. That is not right, and not sound. The world is changing – the population of sub-Saharan Africa set to double over the next 25 years.

Yet our governance still reflects the middle of the last century, threatening to keep us stuck in the past – while the rest of the world moves on.

So, the Shareholding Review matters. Yes – it is hard. But we need to accept that it is essential. This is when leadership really matters.

There are two things we must do now.

One – we know that when countries decide their own path. They have the best chance of success. So can we give more voting power to those countries that rely the most on us – especially low-income countries – so they have a greater stake in decisions that affect them?

Can we reconfigure this Committee to the same end? I want to see concrete proposals in this area by the Spring Meetings.

And two – we must think long-term. How do we transform the Bank’s governance to reflect the world of tomorrow? Can we find ways to approach the shareholding question differently that help us to see past immediate geopolitics and safeguard the Bank’s enduring legitimacy in the world?

Finding the right answers may well take us beyond this Review – but that is why this important work cannot wait.

I believe that is our responsibility as Governors. Ensuring we take the necessary steps to make this Bank the partner of choice – not a partner of necessity. One that is trusted – not tolerated.

And show the world how committed we are to building not just a better Bank but a fairer and more effective Bank as well.

Thank you.

The Art of Brilliance: A Handbook for Leaders of Transformation Programmes
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-14)

A practical guide to help project leaders focus on the right behaviours that are needed to deliver complex transformations.

The Art of Brilliance unpacks the behavioural characteristics of highly successful leaders of transformation programmes. It brings to life the everyday challenges of leading complex transformations in a succinct and helpful aid.

It builds upon the IPA’s formal guidance, The Role of the Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-role-of-the-senior-responsible-owner), that sets out expectations and accountabilities of SROs.

Targeted at the newly appointed leader, it is intended to be an enduring reference that provides useful insights, prompts and ‘nudges’ to help you be brilliant every day.

The material is sourced from extensive interviews with SROs of previous transformation programmes and enhanced by research from the public and private sectors.
Court and tribunal design guide
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-13)

HM Courts & Tribunals Service has published a new court and tribunal design guide.

The design guide provides the standards for refurbishment and redevelopment of existing and future court and tribunal buildings and facilities within our estate. It enables optimum use of facilities to improve user experience. Along with the key elements of safety and security, it sets out five principles that must be incorporated into any building design. These principles define that court and tribunal buildings must be appropriate, effective, accessible, flexible and sustainable.

The design guide was developed through extensive engagement with all types of users of court and tribunal buildings to ensure standards and designs meet their needs. The design guide will be used by us on current and future building and refurbishment work undertaken across the court and tribunal estate. As lessons are learned and our reform initiatives develop, the design guide will be updated and future versions will be published.

To request a printable version, or send us your feedback on the design guide, please email: 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 Bottrills Transport 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 Bottrills Transport 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
- 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.
ECSH44950 - Duplicate fees
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-17)


When a business submits an application to register for anti-money laundering supervision with HMRC, the registration fees (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/money-laundering-regulations-registration-fees) are automatically calculated and generated based on the information it provided on its application form.

Occasionally these fees are generated incorrectly as submitting multiple amendments to a registration can result in the business being charged duplicate fees.

If you think that fees have been incorrectly charged, before contacting the relevant team, you should first compare:
- The number of premises fees against the number of premises on enterprise tax management platform (ETMP) current and superseded forms.
- The number of approval fee charges against the number of beneficial owners, officers, or managers (BOOMs) on ETMP in current and superseded forms.
- The number of fit & proper test fee charges against the number of BOOMs on ETMP in current and superseded forms.

Inland border facilities
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-21)

This measure details amendments to existing legislation, to make sure all border locations are responsible for providing and funding their own customs infrastructure.

This measure amends the existing powers HMRC has to approve ports and apply approval conditions through secondary legislation. This includes conditions relating to the provision of customs infrastructure. Ports assessed as having insufficient space on-site for customs infrastructure will need to provide equivalent infrastructure at an offsite location, which must be approved by HMRC.
