John Tuckett appointed as new ICIBI
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-07)

The Home Secretary has today announced John Tuckett's appointment as Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration (ICIBI).

The Home Secretary has today (7 October) announced John Tuckett’s appointment as Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration (ICIBI).

This follows successful pre-appointment scrutiny by the Home Affairs Select Committee earlier this year. He will replace David Bolt who has been serving as interim ICIBI since June 2024.

Mr Tuckett joins from his previous position as Immigration Services Commissioner, which he has held since July 2019, and brings more than 30 years of experience to the role.

Following a career as a Royal Navy submarine commander, Mr Tuckett moved into senior Home Office positions where he successfully led the merger of Prison and Probation Services

He also served as Chief Executive of the Marine Management Organisation and has led major organisational change programmes across multiple government departments.

The ICIBI plays a vital role in independently monitoring and reporting on the efficiency and effectiveness of the UK’s border, immigration and citizenship system, making recommendations directly to the Home Secretary. The role will be conducted from the UK full time.

Minister for Migration and Citizenship Mike Tapp said:

John Tuckett brings exceptional experience in public service leadership and organisational transformation, which will be invaluable as we secure Britain’s borders and reform our immigration system.

I would like to thank David Bolt for all his hard work during his time as interim Independent Chief Inspector.

Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration, John Tuckett, said:

I am delighted and privileged to be taking up this important role and committed to providing robust, independent scrutiny of the UK’s border security and immigration processes.

My priority will be to help ensure the immigration system works efficiently and effectively while upholding the highest standards of fairness and security.

This appointment forms part of the government’s Plan for Change, which includes major reforms to streamline the immigration system and strengthen borders while maintaining robust security checks.

The government is in the process of recruiting a new Immigration Services Commissioner who will be confirmed shortly.

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 Route One Infrastructure 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

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 WearCareers Ltd 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 WearCareers Ltd 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 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.

Electricity transmission network infrastructure: Community funds
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-27)

Government expectations for how communities living near electricity transmission network infrastructure developments should benefit as a result of hosting these developments.

Update November 2025

The scope of the guidance has been updated to include sections of existing transmission lines that require a capacity upgrade which include the replacement of poles with steel lattice pylons and, that are screened for having an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

Community funds are monetary and non-monetary benefits provided by developers.

The funds might provide support for:
- projects that enhance the local economy, society, and environment
- community priorities such as local tourism, education, and skills development opportunities
This document provides a set of common principles which government expects communities and developers to be guided by when setting up community funds. It aims to provide flexibility for developers to deliver community funds in a way that best suits the community’s needs and priorities, and covers:
- which infrastructure is in scope of the policy
- the levels of funding per infrastructure type
- how delivery costs are to be treated
- how costs are to be recovered
- government expectations for how both communities and developers should engage in the process
