GAD’s interest rate advice for the Ukraine loan
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-05)

GAD advised HM Treasury on the interest rate to be charged on the UK’s £2.26 billion loan to Ukraine.

We analysed and advised HM Treasury on the options around setting an interest rate on UK’s loan to Ukraine.

The Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Ukraine’s Finance Minister Sergii Marchenko signed the UK-Ukraine Bilateral agreement (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-reinforces-support-for-ukraine-with-226-billion-loan-to-bolster-ukrainian-defence-capabilities) at the beginning of March, witnessed by the Prime Minister and President Zelenskyy at a ceremony in Downing Street.

GAD assessed financial considerations for setting an interest rate on the loan of £2.26 billion to Ukraine. It will be paid back using the extraordinary profits generated on sanctioned Russian sovereign assets held in the EU.

This is the UK’s contribution to the G7 Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration (ERA) Loans to Ukraine scheme, through which G7 countries will collectively provide $50 billion to support Ukraine.

Repaying the loan

The loan is novel in that its repayments will be drawn from a future income stream derived from the profits on immobilised Russian sovereign assets. This means that careful consideration of the potential income stream of these assets had to be considered in our calculations.

Our analysis and supporting assumptions formed the basis of our advice to HM Treasury around the level and structure of the interest rate on the loan.

UK commitment

Deputy Government Actuary Matt Gurden said: “The work we undertook to advise on the interest rate played a key part in ensuring the suitability of the UK government’s loan contribution to Ukraine.”

The funding will be delivered in 3 equal annual payments of £752m. The announcement of the loan agreement is on top of the £3 billion a year commitment by the UK to provide military aid for Ukraine.

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.

Charity Commission board member and senior executive team expenses
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-21)

Details of expenses claimed by the Charity Commission chair, board members and chief executive.

The reported expenses include the cost of all travel, accommodation and other support services for Board Members, Chair and the Chief Executive.

The variation in travel and accommodation expenses between Board Members reflects their respective time commitments and duties, the range of activities they undertake, the location of their homes and other individual factors. All Board Members, Chair and the Chief Executive are required to travel around the UK to some extent.

The Commission has 4 offices in England and Wales - London, Liverpool, Newport (Gwent) and Taunton.

Rail travel and accommodation are booked through central agencies rather than by individuals who then claim the expense back. The costs shown, therefore, is the expenditure incurred by individuals rather than ‘expenses claimed’.

‘Subsistence’ covers allowances payable for significant time out of the office and for overnight stays, at rates agreed with HMRC. A number of Board Members live outside London and therefore incur higher levels of travel expenditure in order for them to attend Board or other meetings that are usually held in London.

After 2 years, board member and senior executive team expenses are archived. You can view archived board member and senior executive team expenses on The National Archive website (https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20211112153132/https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/expenses-incurred-by-board-members-and-senior-executive-team).

National standards for sustainable drainage systems
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-30)

Non-statutory standards for the design, maintenance and operation of surface water drainage systems in England.

The non-statutory standards can help you design, maintain and operate surface water drainage systems for:
- new developments
- retrofit sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) (although not all parts may be directly applicable)
They promote consistency and help ensure long-term performance and resilience.

SuDS manage surface water in a way that mimics natural processes, providing a wide range of benefits beyond traditional drainage methods. This makes SuDS essential for new development.

SuDS offer opportunities for:
- water reuse
- reducing flood risk by slowing and storing runoff
- improving water quality by filtering pollutants
- enhancing the visual quality of our environment and offering recreational and educational opportunities
- supporting biodiversity
You can refer to the previous standards on the National Archives website (https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20250617205734/https:/www.gov.uk/government/publications/sustainable-drainage-systems-non-statutory-technical-standards).

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 Ridgeway Training 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 Ridgeway Training 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 Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve 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.
MTT61010 - Charging mechanisms: The charge: Overview
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


The Income Inclusion Rule (IIR) is the primary charge under MTT. Under the IIR, a responsible member (either the ultimate parent, an intermediate parent or a partially owned parent) is identified. There may be more than one responsible member in a group.

A responsible member is chargeable in respect of top-up amounts related to its foreign subsidiaries.

The top-up amount of each member of the group is attributed to its responsible members according to the ‘inclusion ratio’. Broadly, the inclusion ratio allocates the charge on the basis of the responsible member’s ownership interest in the member with the top-up amount.

See MTT61020 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt61020) for guidance on chargeable persons.

See MTT61030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt61030) for guidance on responsible members.

See MTT61040 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt61040) for guidance on the amount to be charged to each responsible member.

See MTT61050 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt61050) and MTT61060 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt61060) for guidance on how to attribute top-up amounts from a member with a top-up amount to a responsible member.

For guidance on calculating the top-up amount of a member, see MTT30000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt30000)+.
Transport connectivity metric
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-28)

The connectivity metric measures a person's ability to reach employment, services and social engagements.

This guidance sets out the methodology for the connectivity metric.

The metric defines connectivity as someone’s ability to get where they want to go. It measures opportunity to travel to various destinations, weighted by people’s overall proclivity to take those options.

It aims to capture the most common modes of travel and destination types, the time required to reach these destinations, the value presented by the destinations, and people’s travel preferences.

It doesn’t show how many people take different routes: purely their opportunity to do so. Nor is it a transport model - there is no trip assignment or convergence processes.

The ODS file on this page contains a variety of connectivity metrics presented at output area, lower super output area, local authority district and regional level for England and Wales. Further details are available in the metadata included within the file.
