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 Northamptonshire Chamber Of Commerce 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 Northamptonshire Chamber Of Commerce 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

Permanent Secretary appointed at Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-13)

Paul Kissack is appointed as the new Permanent Secretary of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

The Cabinet Secretary, with the approval of the Prime Minister, has appointed Paul Kissack as the new Permanent Secretary of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

Paul, most recently was the Group Chief Executive of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, stepped into the role on Monday 13 October 2025.

At the time of appointment, former Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Rt. Hon Steve Reed MP said:

I’m delighted to welcome Paul to the department. His experience and expertise will ensure we achieve our objectives as a government. I look forward to working with him to make our country a better place.

Cabinet Secretary, Sir Chris Wormald said:

I would like to congratulate Paul Kissack on his appointment as Permanent Secretary at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Paul’s experience of public service delivery in the UK (and New Zealand), and his most recent role leading the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, makes him excellently suited to lead Defra at this time and drive delivery of the Department’s missions.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Tamara Finkelstein for her excellent leadership of the Department over the last six years and David Hill for his role as interim Permanent Secretary.

Incoming Permanent Secretary, Paul Kissack said:

I am delighted to be rejoining the Civil Service and honoured to be returning to Defra. Restoring the natural environment and enhancing the sustainable use of natural resources – through cleaner water, greener land, purer air and reduced waste – is fundamental to a strong economy and delivering the Plan for Change.

And the work of the Defra Group – from food security to bio-security to flood defences – is critical to ensuring our national resilience and protecting the public. I am hugely looking forward to working with colleagues across the Defra Group, across Government and the many stakeholders who share these ambitions for our country in the years ahead.

The appointment follows an external recruitment exercise chaired by the independent First Civil Service Commissioner.

Consultation on the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) E21 Guideline on the Inclusion of Pregnant and Breast-feeding Individuals in Clinical Trials
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-03)

The MHRA is consulting with UK stakeholders to gather feedback and comments on a new international guideline for the appropriate inclusion and/or retention of pregnant and/or breast-feeding individuals in clinical trials of medicines.

Pregnant and breast-feeding people are commonly excluded from clinical trials of new medicines. Consequently, many medicines have sparse information to allow informed decision making on the benefits and risks of using a medicine during pregnancy or breast-feeding. To address this, a new guideline (E21) has been prepared by an Expert Working Group (https://www.ich.org/page/efficacy-guidelines) (EWG) of the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH).

The E21 guideline (https://database.ich.org/sites/default/files/ICH_E21EWG_Step2_Draft_Guideline_2025_0514.docx) highlights that in principle, pregnant and breast-feeding individuals should be eligible for inclusion in clinical trials of medicines that may be appropriate for their medical condition. The E21 guideline sets out the principles and conditions that should be met to allow enrolment and retention of pregnant and/or breast-feeding individuals into clinical trials and overall drug development plans.

The E21 guideline covers scientific and regulatory principles and ethical considerations for including pregnant and/or breast-feeding individuals, to protect the safety of the clinical trial participants and their child.

The MHRA welcomes views on the draft guideline from all UK stakeholders including patients and the public. You can provide comments and recommendations to the consultation as an individual or on behalf of an organisation (one response per organisation please) using the ICH Public Consultation Comments template (https://admin.ich.org/sites/default/files/inline-files/ICH_PublicConsultationComments_Template_Stakeholders_2020_1209.xlsx) and emailing it to xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx). Please include ‘E21 consultation’ in the subject line of your email.

Following the consultation, feedback from the stakeholders within the UK and other ICH regions will be reviewed and discussed by the ICH E21 EWG directly. We do not intend to publish a full response to this consultation, as we are not required to for this type of consultation.

Background

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) became a full member of International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) in May 2022. ICH brings together global regulators and the pharmaceutical industry to achieve the harmonised development of safe, effective and high-quality medicines.

COM80050 - Interest: how interest is calculated: negative credit interest
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-14)


This page is currently under review

Where credit interest originally calculated and posted requires amendment downwards, negative credit interest is posted on to the record. This can happen in the following situations:
- credit interest has been repaid for a CTSA AP, and that Accounting Period (AP) is then superseded. The payments on which the credit interest was calculated on the superseded AP are reallocated to the new AP. Credit interest is therefore no longer due and is cancelled
- the ‘quarterly instalment payment’ (QIP) signal is changed from ‘N’ to ‘Y’ on the AP. Credit interest was originally calculated as though the AP was a non-QP case and all the tax was due by the normal due date. When the ‘QIP’ signal is amended to ‘Y’, credit and debit interest is calculated from the quarterly instalment due dates
- payments on which credit interest was calculated are subsequently reallocated and credit interest is no longer payable on these payments
- the AP is adjusted and the tax charge is increased
Negative credit interest is shown as a ‘minus’ credit interest posting in function VPPD (View Payment and Posting details). Where the original credit interest was either reallocated or repaid then the creation of negative credit interest may leave the AP with a collectible balance in the amount that was reallocated or repaid. This amount does not attract late payment interest.

This page includes 2021 to 2022 annual review summaries of Conflict, Stability and Security Fund programmes in India and the Indian Ocean.

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

HMAG150231 - Excise duty points: Excise duty liability notification
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-30)


When you have identified the correct excise duty point and person/s who are liable to pay the duty, an excise duty assessment should be made and notified under section 12 of the Finance Act 1994. It should be made and notified to the person specified as being liable in the regulations.

In addition, some of our regulations also provide for a joint and several liability, for example where we can demonstrate that another person was involved, or participated, in the irregularity. In most cases, you should notify a person of their joint and several liability in a separate letter although this procedure may differ depending on the regulation used. Where the joint and several liability notification procedure is different we specify this in the guidance.

Further guidance on excise assessments and joint and several liability can be found in the Excise Assessments Interim Guidance (EAIG (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/excise-assessments-interim-guidance/eaig)).

Global Strategic Trends: five alternative futures that could redefine our world (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtBUbXsLUV8)

Who should read this publication

This publication portrays a future strategic context for those involved in developing long-term plans, strategies, policies and capabilities in the Ministry of Defence and wider government, as well as for the UK’s allies and partners. It will be an important body of evidence for the recently announced Strategic Defence Review.

By describing the key drivers of change and illustrating alternative outcomes, it helps to test assumptions and prepare for an uncertain world. Without context, there is a risk that planners, policy makers and capability developers will assume a future that conforms to preconceived ideas and assumptions.

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 IPS International 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 IPS International 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
We also pledge the following:

-Supporting the MOD’s enhanced learning credits scheme (ELCAS), promoting lifelong learning amongst members of the armed forces, delivering higher level learning for courses that result in a nationally respected qualification at level three and above

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.

Energy code reform: Code manager licence conditions and code modification appeals to the CMA
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-01)

DESNZ and Ofgem are seeking views on proposals for energy code manager licence conditions and code modification appeals to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).

In this joint DESNZ / Ofgem consultation, we set out our proposals for code manager standard licence conditions and code modification appeals to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).

This follows our first joint consultation in 2024 (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/energy-code-reform-code-manager-licensing-and-secondary-legislation), which covered a selection of code manager licence conditions, as well as proposals for the secondary legislation underpinning Ofgem’s code manager selection process. Since then, we have laid the Code Manager Selection Regulations 2024 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2024/1081/contents/made), which will enable Ofgem to select code managers and so begin implementing code governance reforms.

We are now developing a full set of code manager licence conditions and proposals for the code modifications appeals process to the CMA. This consultation covers:

Code manager licence conditions - the full set of standard licence conditions, including some follow-up on proposals from the original consultation.

Code modification appeals to the CMA - proposals for how eligible parties may challenge Ofgem decisions on code modifications, so that industry has appropriate routes to challenge decisions and achieve a fair outcome.

The consultation is open to all, but we would specifically like views from:
- existing code parties
- existing code administrators
- consumer groups
- energy sector research groups
- wider industry players
- academics
- any other organisations with a direct interest
Consultation webinar, Tuesday 20 May 2025

DESNZ and Ofgem will hold an online webinar on Tuesday 20 May 2025, 10am to 12pm, to summarise our key proposals and answer questions about the consultation:

Judicial Summary

There is no right of appeal to the Upper Tribunal against a Traffic Commissioner’s decision, taken under section 16(4) of the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995, to refuse to accept an operator’s request to terminate (surrender) its licence. However, the Upper Tribunal expressed the obiter view that the lawfulness of such decisions might legitimately arise for determination on an appeal against a Commissioner’s decision, taken after refusing a surrender request, to revoke an operator’s licence.
