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 Vectur Energy Services 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 Vectur Energy Services 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
- Discounts
- 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.
RFIG20040 - Statutory Residence Test (SRT): Introduction: How to use this guidance
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-04)


An individual will be resident in the UK for a tax year, and at all times in that tax year, (although the effect of this rule is relaxed under split year treatment, see RFIG21000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-and-fig-regime-manual/rfig21000) onwards), if none of the automatic overseas tests are met and either:
- 1 of the automatic UK tests
- the sufficient ties tests
are met.

The following steps should be taken to ascertain an individual's residence status under the SRT:

Step 1 - has the individual spent 183 days or more in the UK in the relevant year, (first automatic UK test). If so they will be resident in the UK for that year. If not:

Step 2 - consider the 3 automatic overseas tests. If 1 of these is met the individual will not be UK resident for that year. If there is no result here:

Step 3 - consider if the individual meets either the second or third automatic UK tests. If 1 of these is met the individual will be UK resident for the year. If there is no result here:

Step 4 - consider the sufficient ties tests. If the individual meets this they will be UK resident for the year. If they do not meet this test they will not be UK resident for the year.

INCHP02380 - General: profiles and customs checks
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-24)


This manual will be archived on 15 December 2025. If there is content within this manual you use regularly, email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know.

Note: This manual is under review following Brexit and is likely to be withdrawn. If there is anything within this manual you use regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know. Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC.

When the CHIEF system processes the data on an entry customs checks or profiles may be allocated to the entry. These are to be carried out by staff at the National Clearance Hub (NCH). Details of the checks / profiles are on CHIEF. By using transaction codes details of each check is explained. Risk analysis is undertaken to establish the percentage of checks to be carried out (where a strict instruction is not determined by Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS)). Each profile also allocates at which point in the clearance process the checks are to take place, pre or post clearance, eg Route 1 or 3).

Note: checks could be set to generate either pre or post clearance checks or a combination of both.

It is possible to set indicators to generate Listing Action Indicators (LAI) reports which give details of the entries that match the selection criteria for checks without the checks generating. This is a useful tool to predict the impact of setting a profile might have.

Checks are based on several criteria, these are a combination of:
- profile conditions
- reference conditions, and
- external conditions.
The profile identity is structured in a way to indicate both which customs unit owns it and the customs check it may generate. The profile is said to 'hit' the entry if each condition is true, this will affect the selected route.
NG v  Disclosure and Barring Service: [2024] UKUT 427 (AAC)

Upper Tribunal Administrative Appeals Chamber decision by Judge Stout on 17 December 2024

Read the full decision in UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-V (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/67a2463608d82b458c553c41/UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-V.pdf).

Judicial Summary

Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) included the appellant on the adults’ barred list because it found: (i) she had been complicit in locking residents in their rooms overnight; and (ii) she had verbally abused residents. The Upper Tribunal finds that there was no evidence for finding (ii) which was an error of fact and law. The Upper Tribunal further finds that in deciding to bar the appellant for finding (i) DBS erred in law and in fact in a number of respects, including that the barring decision was disproportionate and breached the appellant’s rights under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The Upper Tribunal directs DBS to remove the appellant from the list.
Media Advisory Notice – Independent Inquiry relating to Afghanistan
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-09)

The Solicitor General issues a reminder that the Restriction Order issued by the independent inquiry contains provisions restricting the publication of certain material.

The Independent Inquiry relating to Afghanistan published gist materials from seven special forces witnesses who gave evidence in closed hearings in the spring of last year.

The materials were released with a Restriction Order (https://iiaweb-prod.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/20240212_Concerns-and-Complaints-CLOSED-Restriction-Order.pdf), which included a warning that the media must not identify the individuals or give any information which could lead to their identification.

Those witnesses have been ciphered and information about their background and units redacted or gisted by the Inquiry to avoid leading to their identification. The publication of such underlying information is therefore restricted in accordance with the Restriction Order.

The Solicitor General wishes to remind everyone of their responsibilities under the Restriction Order issued by the Independent Inquiry relating to Afghanistan.

Publishing material in breach of the Restriction Order could amount to contempt of court.

The Attorney General’s Office and the Independent Inquiry will be monitoring the coverage of the hearings and associated materials.

Excess mortality in England
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-20)

Monthly analysis estimating excess mortality and mortality rates in England broken down by age, sex, region, upper tier local authority, level of deprivation and cause of death.

The ‘Excess mortality in England’ report provides an estimate of excess mortality broken down by:
- age
- sex
- region
- upper tier local authority
- level of deprivation
- cause of death
It is classified as official statistics in development (https://osr.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/policies/official-statistics-policies/official-statistics-in-development/).

This report replaced Excess mortality in England and English regions: March 2020 to December 2023 (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/excess-mortality-in-england-and-english-regions) in February 2024. The changes between the 2 reporting methods are detailed in ‘Changes to OHID’s reporting of excess mortality in England’. The detailed methodology used for the report is also documented.

A summary of results from both reports can be found in ‘Excess mortality within England: 2023 data - statistical commentary’. In November 2024, monthly age-standardised mortality rates were added to the report to aid understanding of recent mortality trends.

Other excess mortality reports

‘Excess mortality in England’ complements other excess mortality and mortality surveillance reports from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). These are summarised in Measuring excess mortality: a guide to the main reports (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/measuring-excess-mortality-a-guide-to-the-main-reports).

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.

Foreign Secretary statement on Rapid Support Forces in El Fasher
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-27)

Foreign Secretary, The Rt Hon Yvette Cooper, has released a statement following the advance of the Rapid Support Forces in El Fasher, Sudan.

Further advances by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in El Fasher, Sudan, are having a horrifying and devastating impact on civilians. With hundreds of thousands of people trapped in the city, many facing forced displacement and indiscriminate violence, the humanitarian consequences are catastrophic. Civilians must be able to leave safely and access lifesaving aid without obstruction.

We are witnessing a deeply disturbing pattern of abuses in El Fasher — including systematic killings, torture, and sexual violence. Women and girls are facing particularly horrific violations such as sexual violence and rape as a weapon of war, and their suffering must not be ignored.

Both the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces have publicly committed to protecting civilians and enabling humanitarian access in line with international humanitarian law. These commitments must now be translated into immediate and concrete action. Orders must be issued to forces on the ground to ensure the safety of civilians, humanitarian personnel, and operations. The RSF leadership will be held accountable for the actions of their forces.

All parties must urgently cooperate with the UN and humanitarian agencies to enable safe, rapid, and unimpeded access, in line with UN Security Council Resolution 2736. Attacks on civilians, aid workers, and civilian infrastructure — including hospitals — must stop now.

UK aid is making a difference on the ground, including reaching the most vulnerable through organisations such as the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Sudan Humanitarian Fund. In total we are contributing by providing over £120 million in aid to Sudan, including allocating an additional £5 million to the Sudan Cash Consortium, with around two-thirds of this support for the most vulnerable in North Darfur.

Bringing an end to the war in Sudan will also support security at home and help tackle illegal migration to the UK. The UK will continue to work with international partners, including the Quad, to push for an immediate ceasefire and a path toward peace. The suffering must end.
