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 Aviation and Security Assistance (ASA) UK 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 Aviation and Security Assistance (ASA) UK 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
- 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.

Soil Nutrient Balances
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-30)

Annual estimates of inputs and offtake of nitrogen and phosphorus on agricultural land.

Planned future updates to the UK and England Soil Nutrient Balances will be produced using a new methodology that utilises the inputs and outputs of the UKs Agricultural Inventory of Ammonia and GHG Emissions. Next year’s planned update (autumn 2026) will publish the UK and England Soil Nutrient Balances up to the year 2024 using the new inventory-based approach, and include a comparison to the current methods. Data up to the year 2025 will be available in the summer of 2027 and planned updates will be released annually thereafter.

Soil nutrient balances provide a method for estimating the annual nutrient loadings of nitrogen and phosphorus to agricultural soils. They give an indication of the potential risk associated with losses of nutrients to the environment; losses which can impact on air and water quality and on climate change. The nutrient balances are used as a high-level indicator of farming’s pressure on the environment and of how that pressure is changing over time. The balances do not estimate the actual losses of nutrients to the environment, but significant nutrient surpluses are directly linked with losses to the environment.

Nutrient balances are of direct relevance to policies relating to agriculture and the environment including climate change, air quality, water quality, and habitats and biodiversity.

Estimates for UK and England are produced on an annual basis. Production of soil nutrient balances for the regions of England was suspended following the 2020 edition to allow the methodology to be reviewed.

Unfulfilled eligibility in the benefit system: financial year 2024 to 2025 estimates
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-14)

Estimates of unfulfilled eligibility levels in the benefit system in Great Britain in the financial year 2024 to 2025. These are official statistics in development.

These are official statistics in development. This publication estimates how much extra money benefit claimants in Great Britain could be getting if they told us accurately about their circumstances.

These estimates were published for the first time in Financial Year Ending (FYE) 2024. The estimates are based on information previously included in the ‘Fraud and error in the benefit system’ (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/fraud-and-error-in-the-benefit-system-financial-year-2024-to-2025-estimates) statistical release as Claimant Error underpayments. They were removed and reclassified following a planned review of the fraud and error statistics that aligned the statistics more closely with benefit legislation.

The main story from the publication is:
- the unfulfilled eligibility rate in FYE 2025 was measured as 1.3% (£3.7 bn) of total benefit expenditure, compared with 1.2% (£3.1 bn) in FYE 2024

MTT21190 - Calculating the effective tax rate: Adjusted profits: Fines and penalties
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


Expenses accrued by a member for fines or penalties of 50,000 euros or more are to be excluded when calculating the adjusted profits.

Fines and penalties accrued that are in respect of the same conduct, or for continuing conduct, should be aggregated when assessing this threshold. This does not aggregate fines in respect of the same type of conduct.

For example, if a daily fine is issued in respect of a single parking violation, these daily fines are to be aggregated. However, if separate fines are issued for the same type of conduct on separate occasions, such as a number of separate parking violations, these should not be aggregated.

This adjustment is set out in section 145 of Finance (No.2) Act 2023.
AAIB investigation to Chaser S 508, G-MVGG
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-14)

Engine failure after takeoff, near Trimdon, County Durham, 31 July 2024

After carrying out his pre-takeoff checks, including a check that the engine was able to produce full power, the pilot took off from Fishburn Airfield for a local flight. However, at about 300 ft aal, he reported that the engine misfired and lost power. In front of him was an electricity pylon, so he turned left and selected a field into which he could carry out a forced landing.

The approach was over the top of some trees which initially he thought he would clear. However, having lost height in the turn, he was unable to clear them and although he aimed for a small gap, the right wing clipped a tree and the aircraft fell to the ground. The pilot’s smartwatch detected the impact and alerted emergency services, who attended the scene. The pilot sustained a broken wrist during the accident.

UK Emissions Trading Scheme: free allocation review - carbon leakage
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-26)

The UK ETS Authority is seeking views on using the Carbon Leakage List to determine UK ETS free allocation eligibility, and proposals for free allocation adjustment for sectors covered by the UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.

The UK ETS Authority is seeking views on a number of proposals to improve our approach to Free Allocations, specifically:
- the approach to calculating the Carbon Leakage Indicator and setting the Carbon Leakage List
- the approach to adjusting Free Allocations for Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) sectors
This is an interim consultation following the 2023 UK ETS Free Allocation Review consultation (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/uk-emissions-trading-scheme-free-allocation-review) where the Authority committed to publish a draft UK Carbon Leakage List and put forward further options on free allocation adjustments for CBAM sectors. The Authority has used responses from that 2023 consultation to form these new proposals, and has included a summary of those responses in this consultation document.

This consultation will be of particular interest to:
- individual companies
- representatives of industrial and power sectors with obligations under the UK ETS
- environmental groups

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 VECTOR24 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

- 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.
