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 Newton Newton Flags 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 Newton Newton Flags 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
- Discounts
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.

CTM15530 - Distributions: general: exclusion of certain interest or other amounts
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-28)


CTA10/S1000 (1) F, CTA10/S1015 and CTA10/S1032

CTA10/S1000 (1) F can recharacterise interest as a distribution. In some circumstances companies can benefit from this.

For example, there may be a loan agreement that provides for the payment of interest at a fixed rate plus a minute share of the borrowing company's profits. The security will fall within CTA10/S1015 (4) and all the interest will be treated as a distribution. The consequences are that, overall, the parties could be better off at the exchequer’s expense as:
- the borrower will get no relief for the interest paid, but
- the lender will receive the interest as franked investment income rather than taxable income.
CTA10/S1032 (1) prevents this happening. It stops a company treating interest or other amounts paid to another company within the charge to CT as a distribution within any part of CTA10/S1000 (1) F.

This legislation aims to counter the contrived use of CTA10/S1000 (1) F for tax avoidance by arranging for what is in substance interest to be treated as a distribution by being brought within its terms. But it applies whenever its terms are met, not just if avoidance is present.

CTA10/S1032 (1) applies to any interest or other distribution which is paid to another company within the charge to Corporation Tax, is paid in respect of securities within CTA10/S1015, and does not fall within CTA10/S1000 (1) E.

Such interest or other distribution is not treated as a distribution unless the application of CTA10/S1032 (1) is excluded by CTA10/S1032 (2). CTA10/S1032 (2) prevents CTA10/S1032 (1) applying where the recipient of the distribution is exempt from tax on the distribution.

Russia continues to dither, delay and destroy rather than engage seriously towards peace: UK statement to the OSCE
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-10)

Ambassador Holland calls out Russia's hollow words about peace while it continues to terrorise Ukraine's civilian population and infrastructure.

Thank you, Madame Chair. It is now 29 days since Ukraine expressed its readiness to accept a full, unconditional and immediate 30-day ceasefire. If Russia reciprocated, we would be a huge step closer to ending this terrible war. They are yet to take this step.

Instead of showing a commitment to peace, President Putin has chosen to dither, delay and destroy. We have heard desperate and false accusations about the legitimacy of Ukraine’s democratically-elected President. This week the Kremlin said there remained questions “hanging in the air”, including what they say is Ukraine’s lack of control over those defending their homeland and its so-called militarisation. These accusations come from a government that has deployed North Korean troops to the front line and has just ordered the biggest conscription since the war began. They are absurd.

While the Russian state delays a ceasefire, it continues to terrorise Ukraine’s civilian population with indiscriminate aerial attacks. Earlier this week we met to condemn Russia’s awful missile attack on Kryvyi Rih, which claimed the lives of 20 people, including nine children, on 4 April. This attack came only a day after a further five civilians were killed by Russian drone strikes in Kharkiv and was followed by further civilian casualties during aerial attacks over the weekend. Since Ukraine committed to pursue a full ceasefire, Russia’s aerial attacks have increased.

Russia claims to have been respecting an energy ceasefire since 18 March, but it continues to launch attacks which result in damage to energy infrastructure, including two in the last week which left 50,000 people without power. Even when it appeared that Russia had agreed to the proposed Black Sea ceasefire, it immediately backtracked, imposing new and unwarranted conditions. And yet Russia has the cheek to accuse Ukraine of not being serious about peace.

Killing civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure is not the behaviour of a state genuinely willing to pursue meaningful peace talks. These attacks on the people of Ukraine, including its children and most vulnerable citizens, demonstrate the Russian Government’s true intentions. Their words of peace are so far hollow. We urge the Russian government to commit to peace, end the barbaric attacks on Ukraine’s civilians, and finally demonstrate the sincerity of its words.

Thank you, Madame Chair.

Leading the NHS: proposals to regulate NHS managers
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-21)

A consultation seeking your views on options for regulating NHS managers, and on the possibility of introducing a professional duty of candour for NHS managers.

There has been a minor change to the wording of one question. Survey responses given before 28 November will still be considered in the government response.

It is vital that we take further action to strengthen the accountability of NHS managers, with the overarching aim of ensuring patient safety. The government’s manifesto committed to introducing professional standards for, and regulating NHS managers.

The consultation will seek partners’ views on the type of regulation that may be most appropriate for leaders and managers, such as:
- which managers should be in scope for a future regulatory system
- what kind of body should exercise such a regulatory function
- consideration of the types of standards that managers should be required to demonstrate as part of a future system of regulation.
The consultation will also seek views on matters relating to candour, including first on the possibility of delivering a professional duty of candour for NHS managers and leaders. It will also seek views on making managers accountable for responding to concerns about the provision of healthcare patient safety.

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.

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.

SPM167600 - Statutory Neonatal Care Pay (SNCP) - general information: Notice and Evidence Requirements
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-04)


The notice that an employee must provide depends on whether they are taking a tier 1 or tier 2 absence. See SPM150200 for definitions of tier 1 and tier 2.

For tier 1 absencesan employee must provide notice within 28 days starting with the first day of the week they want to claim for.

For a single statutory pay week beginning in the Tier 2 period, notice must be given no later than 15 days before the first day of the statutory pay week to which the notice relates.

The notice must be made in writing for each period that is claimed and must include
- their name
- the date of the child’s birth
- the date the child started to receive neonatal care (and the end date if it has ended)
The employee will also need to provide the employer with a declaration, to confirm:
- that the employee has cared or intends to care for the child during the period applied for, and
- they meet one of the conditions as to the relationship with the child or baby (see SPM 150300). They only need to provide this once when they first ask for pay so if they take two separate weeks, they only need to provide the declaration for the first week taken within the timeframe detailed above.

MHRA confirms taking paracetamol during pregnancy remains safe and there is no evidence it causes autism in children
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-23)

Paracetamol should be taken as directed in the patient information leaflet

Dr Alison Cave, Chief Safety Officer at the MHRA, said:

Patient safety is our top priority. There is no evidence that taking paracetamol during pregnancy causes autism in children.

Paracetamol remains the recommended pain relief option for pregnant women when used as directed. Pregnant women should continue to follow existing NHS guidance and speak to their healthcare professional if they have questions about any medication during pregnancy. Untreated pain and fever can pose risks to the unborn baby, so it is important to manage these symptoms with the recommended treatment.

Our advice on medicines in pregnancy is based on rigorous assessment of the best available scientific evidence. Any new evidence that could affect our recommendations would be carefully evaluated by our independent scientific experts.

We continuously monitor the safety of all medicines, including those used during pregnancy, through robust monitoring and surveillance. We encourage anyone to report any suspected side effects to us via the Yellow Card scheme.

Notes to Editors:

Paracetamol is recommended as the first-choice painkiller for pregnant women, used at the lowest dose and for the shortest duration. If pain does not resolve, then patients are advised to seek advice from their healthcare professional. See NHS Guidance – Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility while taking paracetamol for adults (https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/paracetamol-for-adults/pregnancy-breastfeeding-and-fertility-while-taking-paracetamol-for-adults/)

The MHRA regularly reviews the safety of paracetamol during pregnancy to ensure that the benefits to the patient and unborn baby outweigh any risks.

Patients should not stop taking their pain medicines as untreated pain and fever can pose risks to the unborn child.

Members of the public and healthcare professionals are encouraged to report any suspected side effect from medicines, including paracetamol, to the MHRA’s Yellow Card scheme (https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyellowcard.mhra.gov.uk%2F&data=05%7C02%7CNicole.Birch%40mhra.gov.uk%7Ced761a35110342b3444d08ddf1fba954%7Ce527ea5c62584cd2a27f8bd237ec4c26%7C0%7C0%7C638932785399866811%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=vz1UA5oBinjZwh2dh2sG%2BHK%2BSfMuUdmu27xC8UQL4SM%3D&reserved=0).

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is responsible for regulating all medicines and medical devices in the UK by ensuring they work and are acceptably safe. All work is underpinned by robust and fact-based judgements to ensure that benefits justify any risks.

The MHRA is an executive agency of the Department of Health and Social Care.
