Environmental permitting: groundwater activities in England
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-08)

This guidance will help the regulator, stakeholders, and others with an interest in groundwater activities in England.

This guidance only applies in England.

In Wales, the December 2010 guidance Environmental permitting guidance groundwater activities (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/environmental-permitting-guidance-groundwater-activities) should continue to be followed.

It describes the views of the Secretary of State for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) on how:
- legislation relating to groundwater activities should be applied
- particular terms should be interpreted in England
This guidance explains the legal requirements but only the national courts can give a definitive interpretation of the legislation.

‘Groundwater activities’ includes both those activities that require a permit, and those activities that are unlawful. For instance, causing pollution to groundwater, whether deliberate or accidental.

This guidance is part of a series of guidance documents which accompany the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016, SI No. 1154.

It should be read in conjunction with the environmental permitting core guidance (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/environmental-permitting-guidance-core-guidance--2).

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 CLARKE AND CO HOUSING MANAGEMENT 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 CLARKE AND CO HOUSING MANAGEMENT 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.

CTM40335 - Particular bodies: friendly societies: exemption for 'other business'
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-09)


Registered Friendly Societies

FA12/S164 exempts a registered society from tax on income or gains relating to 'other business'. 'Other business' is that part of the business that is not ‘long term business’. This exemption is given to a society (or branch of a society) registered on or before 31 May 1973. If societies registered before that date merge to create a new society, they retain their exemption provided that none of the societies had had their exemption withdrawn as mentioned below. This applies equally to the merger of branches.

Societies registered after 31 May 1973 may also be entitled to an exemption from tax in respect of 'other business'. This is dependent on their rules limiting the range of membership or the maximum members' contributions.

Incorporated Friendly Societies

If a society registered on or before 31 May 1973 subsequently converts to an incorporated society, CTM40310 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm40310), it retains its exemption, as provided by FA12/S165 (3) or (5).

Otherwise FA12/S165 (4) exempts an incorporated friendly society from tax on income or gains relating to ‘other business’, again dependent on its rules limiting the range of membership or the maximum members' contributions.

Cases to be referred to BAI (Technical)

If an incorporated society, or a society registered after 31 May 1973, claims repayment or exemption its papers should be referred to BAI (Technical) unless its entitlement to exemption has already been confirmed. It is not necessary to refer a new branch of a registered society if it was created by the merger of two or more branches registered before 1 June 1973. Such cases can be accepted as entitled to the exemption under FA12/S164 (3).

The legislation provides for the exemption on the income or gains of 'other business' to be withdrawn by administrative action if a society exploits its tax privileged position. BAI (Technical) should see any case where the 'other business' of a society registered before 1 June 1973 has increased at a rate disproportionate to the general level of economic activity.

Tourism Minister speech at the World Travel Market

Minister Peacock promotes UK tourism at UN Ministers meeting

Welcome to London - a global capital of culture and connection - and to WTM 2025. It’s wonderful to see so many tourism ministers, industry leaders, innovators, and partners gathering here to shape the future of world travel and tourism.

A sincere thank you to the WTM organisers and UN Tourism for once again delivering such an impressive Ministerial Summit that brings together the best of our global industry.

The UK continues to lead in tourism innovation - from sustainable travel to digital experiences. We’re committed to working with partners worldwide to remove barriers, promote trade, and unlock growth across our shared industry.

The UK is a reliable and attractive place for tourism investment. We’ve seen a strong recovery in recent years, and between 2019 and 2023, the UK ranked first in Europe and second globally for foreign direct investment in tourism.

In the past few years, we have seen significant investment in the tourism sector regionally, with attractions such as the Government supported £210m Aviva Studios in Manchester, Universal’s multi-billion pound investment in Bedford and the recent opening of The Reserve, Chester Zoo’s new safari style lodges.

One of our key strengths is the diversity of our regions. From major cities to rural and coastal areas, there’s a broad range of opportunities, supporting growth right across the country.

The UK’s cultural, creative, and heritage assets remain central to our appeal. They give visitors and investors something distinctive, and they’re a major part of our international reputation.

The government is helping to build on this through initiatives like the Local Visitor Economy Partnerships and Destination Development Partnerships, which encourage collaboration and support local growth.

And looking ahead, the UK’s position as a digital leader, together with our commitment to net zero, makes it a market that’s focused on innovation and sustainability.

Overall, the UK offers a stable, well-connected environment for investors, with clear long-term potential in the visitor economy.

The UK Government remains dedicated to global sustainable growth and ensuring our tourism sector stays competitive, responsible, and future-focused.

Finally, I’m confident that this Summit and the WTM more broadly will spark new partnerships, ideas, and opportunities - helping us all build a stronger, more connected, and more sustainable global tourism industry.

British economy sees defence dividend as new figures reveal above inflation increase in spend with industry
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-11)

Government spending in the UK defence industry grew by 6% in real terms to £31.7 billion, according to latest figures for 2024/25 published today.

Working people will feel safer and see the economic benefits of the record investment in defence the Government has delivered, new figures (MOD regional expenditure with industry 2024/25 - GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/mod-regional-expenditure-statistics-with-industry-202425/mod-regional-expenditure-with-industry-202425#key-points)) reveal.

In a powerful boost to the UK economy, the figures which cover the 2024/25 financial year, show a 6% rise in real terms expenditure bringing the total to £31.7 billion.

In an increasingly unstable and volatile world, this includes a 21% uplift to investment in the Weapons and Ammunition sector after inflation, so the UK is resilient and responsive to any challenge.

The figures show how the Government is making defence an engine for growth, with increased investment creating jobs and opportunities in communities across the country to raise living standards and put more money in working people’s pockets.

The figures show an exceptional increase from the previous year, representing the highest level of defence investment in UK industry for over a decade. This substantial investment translates to £460 for every person living in the UK, up from £440 the previous year.

The benefits will be felt across the UK, with Yorkshire and Humber seeing the biggest percentage rise in spend, increasing by 30%, with London (18%) and the North West (15%) also seeing big increases.

Defence Secretary John Healey said:

This record investment shows how we are making defence an engine for growth, supporting jobs and prosperity for British working people and boosting businesses across the United Kingdom.

These new figures show how the defence dividend from our record investment is benefitting working people across the UK. It follows the launch of our Defence Industrial Strategy this week, which will provide the resilient industrial base that we need for the future.

This record spending directly supports the Government’s Defence Industrial Strategy, launched this week, which focuses on enabling the building of a resilient supply chain and supporting innovation across the defence sector.

Small and medium-sized enterprises continue to benefit from defence investment, with direct defence spending supporting innovation and growth in businesses across the UK. This reflects the Defence Industrial Strategy’s commitment to diversifying the supply chain and ensuring smaller companies can contribute to Britain’s defence capabilities whilst driving local economic growth.

Much of the Ministry of Defence’s global expenditure remains anchored in the UK, ensuring that taxpayers’ investment in defence translates directly into British jobs, skills, and economic growth. This includes both direct payments to UK industry and indirect spending through international agreements where work subsequently takes place in Britain.

CG17350 - Indexation: from 6/4/88: time-apportionment
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-11)


In Smith v Schofield (65TC669), the question at issue was whether time apportionment, see CG15500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg15500), was to be applied before or after indexation. The House of Lords confirmed the practice which HMRC has always followed, namely that the order of the computation is this:
- Compute the unindexed gain, see CG17232 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg17232),
- Calculate indexation and deduct it from the unindexed gain,
- Apply time-apportionment to the indexed gain.
See example in CG17480 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg17480).

It should be noted that it is still necessary to apply time- apportionment when operating the `kink test' for the purposes of rebasing, if the asset in question was held at 6 April 1965. See CG16730P (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg16730p).

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 Florijn Care 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 Florijn Care 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
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.

Leadership Transition at Great British Energy – Nuclear
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-17)

Great British Energy - Nuclear Leadership Update

Gwen Parry-Jones, CEO of Great British Energy – Nuclear (GBE-N), will be stepping down from her role on 30th September as planned. As one of the founding members of GBE-N, Gwen has played a pivotal role in leading the organisation from its inception as a start-up to its current state as a permanent entity. Under her leadership, GBE-N has successfully purchased sites, completed a technology selection process and secured government funding to start the UK’s Small Modular Reactor (SMR) fleet.

Gwen joined GBE-N on secondment from the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), and her time here has exemplified the value of cross-organisational collaboration and knowledge sharing within the nuclear industry. She will return to the NDA on 1st October.

GBE-N Chair Simon Bowen said:

Gwen’s strength of leadership has been instrumental in the setup of our organisation. From the very beginning, she brought vision, energy, and deep nuclear expertise to GBE-N, helping shape it into the organisation it is today. We are deeply grateful for her dedication and impact to both GBE-N and the Industry in laying the foundations for the UK’s SMR future.

The announcement of a new CEO for GBE-N will be made in due course. In the interim, GBE-N Chief Finance Officer, Neil Cooper will be the Accounting Officer and will chair the Executive Committee to ensure continuity and support for all teams. A small subset of the Executive Team will also form an Interim Steering Group, focused on project delivery and reporting directly to the GBE-N Chair, Simon Bowen.
