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 AP Security (APS) 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;

Government invests more than £45 million in groundbreaking technologies to boost Britain's food security
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-13)

More funding for farmers to increase profits, boost food production and protect nature

New inventions and technologies to increase profits, boost food production and help protect nature have been handed a major cash injection, the government has announced today (14 April). From robots carrying out delicate fruit picking, to health monitors for cows and sheep, right through to variable irrigation systems to maximise water usage on crops – these grants support the development of wide-range projects and products which will help a large number of farmers. The three special funds, worth a combined £45.6 million, will support multiple projects across the research and development (R&D) lifecycle, from early-stage concepts to on-farm trials.

They will help bring cutting-edge technologies into real-world use with a particular focus on reducing on-farm emissions and capitalising on new opportunities made possible by the Precision Breeding Act, which could supercharge food production by increase crop yields, reduce pesticides and enhance disease resistance.

These funds will help to strengthen food security, increase farmers’ profits and protect nature as part of the government’s Plan for Change.

Farming Minister Daniel Zeichner said:

This government is serious about delivering its Plan for Change.

That is why I’m delighted to see money getting out the door to British farmers. This £45m will support them with technology to boost food production, profits and the rural economy.

From 28 April, applications will open for the new Accelerating Development of Practices and Technologies (ADOPT) competition, which will commit up to £20.6 million of funding in 25/26. This grant will support farmers looking to test new technologies on their own farms and bridge the gap between innovation and real-world application.

Farmers can access tailored advice and apply for a £2,500 support grant at the ADOPT Support Hub (https://farmpep.net/adopt/front) to help them through the application and trial process.

From 5 May, two further competitions will open under the Farming Innovation Programme (FIP):

The first £12.5 million to support collaborative research into ways to reduce on-farm emissions, helping farms to become more sustainable and climate-resilient.

The second £12.5 million competition will fund R&D using precision-bred crops to improve yield, reduce chemical inputs and enhance disease resistance. This builds on the new opportunities enabled by the Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Act 2023.

FIP, Defra’s flagship innovation programme, is delivered by Innovate UK, as part of UKRI, and forms part of the government’s wider commitment to food production and security, farm productivity and nature.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-24)

A summary of what remediation contribution orders are and how they work.

A remediation contribution order is made by the Property Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal (the Tribunal”). It can require a company or companies to pay for the costs of:
- remediating certain building defects
- taking relevant steps to reduce the risk from those defects, and/or
- temporary accommodation and associated reasonable travel costs, removal costs and storage costs where residents have been decanted due to building safety risks
See section 2.5 (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/remediation-contribution-orders/chapter-2-key-definitions#para2-5) for more information on what costs can be included in a remediation contribution order.

Landlords, developers, and companies associated with either of these, can be made to pay through a remediation contribution order. Remediation contribution orders are not a fault-based order. This means a company can be made to pay irrespective of whether they caused the defect(s) in question or are able to carry out the works to remediate them. See section 2.2 (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/remediation-contribution-orders/chapter-2-key-definitions#para2-2) for more information on who can be required to pay under a remediation contribution order.

Remediation contribution orders can be made in relation to self-contained residential buildings that are at least 11 metres high or have at least 5 storeys; contain at least 2 residential units; and feature at least one relevant defect. A relevant defect is defined in the Building Safety Act 2022 as a defect that has arisen from anything that has been done (or not done), or anything used (or not used), in connection with relevant works, and causes a building safety risk. See sub-section 2.4.2 (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/remediation-contribution-orders/chapter-2-key-definitions#para2-4-2) for more information about relevant defects, including definitions of “building safety risk” and “relevant works.”

Remediation contribution orders can be used in several different ways to make funding available for costs incurred in relation to the remediation of a building. For example, they can be used to:
- secure funding for remediation works to take place
- provide funding for relevant steps, such as a waking watch
- recover costs which a party has incurred through remediation works being carried out, either directly or through a service charge; and/or
- recover temporary accommodation costs for decanted residents
See Chapter 5 (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/remediation-contribution-orders/chapter-5-circumstances-where-a-remediation-contribution-order-may-be-appropriate) for more information on how a remediation contribution order can be used, and the factors applicants may wish to consider when considering making an application.

This document does not constitute legal advice. Any person considering making an application for a remediation contribution order should seek their own legal and expert advice, and should not rely on this document.

Please see below a joint statement from DBT and the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders following a meeting on the Jaguar Land Rover cyber incident.

The recent cyber incident is having a significant impact on Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and on the wider automotive supply chain.

The Government, including government cyber experts, are in contact with the company to support the task of restoring production operations, and are working closely with JLR to understand any impacts on the supply chain.

This allowed us to listen to suppliers directly and understand the challenges and concerns they are facing.

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 Third Energy 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 Third Energy 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.
MOT tester training: check the topics your records need to cover
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-31)

Check the list of topics that MOT testers need to have MOT training records for from May 2020 to March 2025.

If you are an MOT tester, you must complete at least 3 hours of MOT training every year (https://www.gov.uk/mot-tester-training-assessments) and keep a record of it. You have to keep those records for 5 years.

These documents tell you which training topics you need to have records for if you test:
- motorcycles (class 1 and 2 - also known as group A)
- cars and passenger vehicles (class 3, 4, 5 and 7 - also known as group B)
If you test vehicles in both groups, you need records of the training you did in all the topics.

You and the business you work for can be suspended from MOT testing if you do not keep the right records.
