Brand advertising exemption from advertising restrictions for less healthy food or drink
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-10)

This consultation seeks views on draft secondary legislation to provide an explicit exemption for brand advertising from the advertising restrictions for less healthy food or drink on TV and online.

We announced in a statement to Parliament on 22 May 2025 (https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2025-05-22/hcws652) that the government will lay secondary legislation to explicitly exempt ‘brand advertising’ from the advertising restrictions for less healthy food or drink on television (TV) and online. This will provide clarity in legislation of the existing policy intention regarding brand advertising, as it was understood by Parliament during the passage of the Health and Care Bill in 2021 to 2022. This aims to support businesses and the regulators ahead of the restrictions coming into effect on 5 January 2026.

This consultation is focused solely on the nature of the brand advertising exemption set out in the draft Advertising (Less Healthy Food) (Brand Advertising Exemption) Regulations 2025 and the clarity of the drafting to ensure that the regulations are fit for purpose. The draft regulations are published below.

We are not inviting feedback on other aspects of the policy which have already been confirmed following previous consultations and enshrined in law in the Communications Act 2003 (as amended by the Health and Care Act 2022) and the Advertising (Less Healthy Food Definitions and Exemptions) Regulations 2024.

We welcome feedback from all stakeholders through the online survey.

Minister of State Stephen Doughty congratulates the Georgian Young Lawyers' Association for its efforts to protect democracy and human rights for Georgians.

Minister for Europe, North America and UK Overseas Territories, Stephen Doughty, said:

“I congratulate the Georgian Young Lawyers’ Association (GYLA) on winning the prestigious Democracy Defender Award gifted by the UK and seven OSCE partners. The GYLA is providing essential support to human rights activists and civil society organisations in Georgia who are coming under increasing pressure from repressive legislation.

“After months of democratic backsliding, arbitrary arrests, and the use of excessive force against protestors, politicians and journalists, Georgian Dream has shown no indication they will return to their European path and uphold the democratic wishes of its own electorate.

“I urge the Georgian authorities to reverse this isolationist behaviour, and I thank the GYLA for their important work protecting the fundamental rights of Georgian people.”

CTM40545 - Particular bodies: registered societies: assets transferred to another society
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-17)


TCGA92/S217D

TCGA92/S217D ensures that no chargeable gain will arise on a disposal of an asset by one registered society to another in the course of, or as part of, an amalgamation of societies or a transfer of engagements from one society to another. In computing chargeable gains, and for this purpose only, the consideration for the asset is treated as an amount giving rise to neither gain nor loss.

For other purposes (for example, capital allowances) use the actual consideration paid. Where, however, the society is carrying on a trade and the conditions of CTA10/PART22/CHAPTER1 are met (transfers of trade without change of owmership) capital allowances transfer at written down value and the trading losses of the old society may also transfer to the new society, see CTM06000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm06000) onwards.

RDRM32015 - Remittance Basis: Accessing the remittance basis: Claiming the remittance basis up to 5 April 2025: Deemed domiciled
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


From 6 April 2025 it is not possible to use the remittance basis of taxation, however, any foreign income or gains that have arisen to a former remittance basis user prior to this date will continue to be taxed at the usual tax rates if they are remitted to the UK on or after 6 April 2025, subject to any amounts designated under the temporary repatriation facility (TRF) – see RDRM71000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm71000).

The guidance in this section only applies to tax years up to and including the 2024-25 tax year and remains for reference purposes only.

Broadly speaking, prior to 6 April 2017 the following types of UK resident individuals could use the remittance basis:
- those whose domicile of origin was overseas and who had not acquired a UK domicile of choice
- those who had been born with a UK domicile of origin but had acquired a domicile of choice (or dependency) overseas
From 6 April 2017 this is no longer automatically the case. Individuals born in the UK with a UK domicile of origin will be taxed on the arising basis on their worldwide income and gains, (Condition A individuals). Even if they satisfy all the other conditions of s809D ITA'07 they will not be able to claim the remittance basis.

Likewise, individuals who have been resident in the UK for at least 15 of the previous 20 tax tears immediately preceding the relevant tax year are no longer eligible to claim the remittance basis, (Condition B individuals).

Example

Jamal, who was born in the UK and had a UK domicile of origin, moved to New Zealand aged 20, remaining there for many years and acquiring a domicile of choice there.

He then came back to the UK to work on a 2 year secondment from his employer in New Zealand. Becoming resident in the UK. Jamal intends to return home to New Zealand after his secondment.

If he had returned to the UK prior to 6 April 2017 Jamal would be treated as non-UK domiciled and would be able to use the remittance basis for the tax years from his arrival up to 2016-2017. For 2017-2018 and subsequent tax years Jamal will be taxed on the arising basis, because he was born in the UK and has a UK domicile of origin, so he can't claim the remittance basis.

If Jamal returns to the UK after 6 April 2017 he will be treated as UK domiciled from the date he returned to the UK. He will be unable to use the remittance basis and will be taxed on the arising basis on his worldwide income and gains.
AAIB investigation to Druine D.62B Condor, G-AXGV
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-11)

Aircraft stalled in lee of trees on the approach to land, Croft Airfield, North Yorkshire, 20 March 2025

The accident occurred on the approach to land during a biennial revalidation flight for the pilot flying, who was unfamiliar with the aircraft and the farm strip. The instructor was experienced with both the aircraft type and the farm strip.

After completing some general handling, the aircraft was flown back to the strip for a touch-and-go on Runway 27 with a forecast 5-10 kt crosswind from the left. The approach was made from a right hand circuit. The pilot was used to flying a biplane, so he decided to fly a curved tailwheel approach. As the aircraft descended below the tops of trees on the left of the approach to the runway, it started to drift toward the trees. The pilot flying turned the aircraft away from the trees, but one of the wings stalled, which rolled and pitched the aircraft nose-down. The stalled wing hit the ground, followed by the nose, before the aircraft came to rest upside down. The pilot recalled hitting his head twice on the canopy during this period.

Once the aircraft was made as safe as possible, they released themselves from their full harnesses. The pilot flying crawled out of the aircraft via the rear left window and lifted the left wing sufficiently for the instructor to exit the aircraft. They then called for assistance from the emergency services.

Although an initial assessment suggested they had sustained only minor injuries, further assessment at hospital found that both had suffered a neck vertebra fracture.

Applicants’ Journeys to Claiming PIP: Research
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-02)

This report details the findings from discussions with: PIP applicants, sources of advice for applicants (online information, friends and family, formal advisors and broader professionals) and disabled people not in receipt of PIP.

Research background

The Applicants’ Journeys to Claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP) report builds a more detailed picture of why, how, and when people with disabilities and long-term health condition decide to apply for PIP.

Contribution to the evidence base

The research builds on previous studies, exploring the journeys people take to claiming PIP. It develops a typology of different journeys, exploring drivers for applying and previous knowledge of PIP. Applicants typically confuse entitlement as relating to the presence and experience of a health condition, rather than specifically the impact this has on their mobility or daily living. This report delves into the critical role different types of advisors have in setting expectations in relation to entitlement and the applicant process. This research explores potential reasons why some disabled people apply, and some don’t apply for PIP.

Research value

The department will use these findings, alongside other insights, to inform PIP service design and provision in the future.

Conflict, Stability and Security Fund: annual review summaries for South East Asia and the Pacific 2023 to 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-30)

This page provides 2023 to 2024 annual review summaries for the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programmes in South East Asia and the Pacific.

All Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programmes are reviewed carefully each year. These reviews assess:
- technical and programme management standards including financial and risk management, value for money, conflict and gender sensitivity
- contextual factors such as changes to the political environment
- the outputs and outcomes during the year
Lessons learned are also identified.

An expert team conducts these reviews and include at least one team member who is independent from the programme. The team assesses at 2 levels: output (the direct result of programme activities) and outcome (the changes that these outputs deliver). Assessment scores are on a scale of 4, where outputs or outcomes meet or exceed expectations, to 1, where most targets were not met.

The CSSF team aims to publish information for all programmes. However, because some of the CSSF’s work is very sensitive, we cannot publish details of all programmes. The 2 main reasons for this are:
- to protect national security
- for the safety and security of beneficiaries, partners and partner governments

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 The Specialists Hub Ltd t/a Cyberpro Academy 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 The Specialists Hub Ltd t/a Cyberpro Academy 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.

Core Group Statement for the Interactive Dialogue on the Report of OHCHR on the Human Rights Situation in Sri Lanka. Delivered by the UK's Permanent Representative to the WTO and UN, Kumar Iyer.

Thank you, Mr President,

This statement is on behalf of the Sri Lanka Core Group comprising Canada, Malawi, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and the United Kingdom.

We are grateful for Minister Herath’s presence today.

High Commissioner,

Thank you for your report and recent country visit which underscored both enduring challenges and opportunities for reform.

Your Office has previously documented gross human rights violations and abuses, including unlawful killings, enforced disappearances, sexual and gender-based violence and arbitrary detentions.

As you noted, Sri Lanka has an opportunity to break from its past and heal deep scars that continue to impact victims, survivors, and their families.

We welcome the government’s decision to abolish the Prevention of Terrorism Act. We urge the government to turn its commitments into meaningful actions on human rights, accountability, reconciliation, good governance and constitutional reform.

Addressing longstanding impunity is essential to build trust among victims and survivors in domestic judicial processes. We support a fully independent and effective public prosecutorial body.

It is crucial that investigations at mass grave sites are carried out in line with international standards and that journalists, human rights defenders and civil society organisations can operate freely and safely.

We remain willing to work constructively with Sri Lanka.

Thank you.
