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 Proteus 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 Proteus 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
- 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.

Regulatory Article (RA) 1395: authorization to permit embarked aviation in His Majesty’s / MOD ships
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-28)

RA covers the authorization to permit embarked aviation in HM/MOD Ships, primarily through the 'ship-air release' process.

The purpose of Regulatory Articles (RA) is to provide the framework of policy, rules, directives, standards, processes and the associated direction, advice and guidance, which governs military aviation activity and against which air safety is assessed. The regulator develops regulations in response to applicable UK law, MOD needs, legal changes and recommendations resulting from both assurance or investigation functions.

on the grounds that it would be unduly onerous to comply with either the notice or the requirement.

However, there is no right of appeal against
- a notice (or any requirement in the notice) that has been approved by the tribunal. Any challenge to a tribunal approved notice would be through an application for judicial review, or
- a requirement in a notice to provide any information, or produce any document, which forms part of the named person’s statutory records, see CH21700 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch21700).

- the importation of goods in the course of carrying on a business.
Where a third party notice is issued to an involved third party in the period from 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2012, see CH25360 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch25360), the involved third party may appeal on any grounds except against the requirement to produce its statutory records.

Where a third party notice is issued to any person and it refers only to information or documents that relate to any pensions matter, see CH23990 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch23990), the person may appeal on any grounds except against the requirement to produce its statutory records.

Multi-agency terror response put to the test
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-04)

Exercise Merlin tested multi-agency terror response at Sellafield, showcasing strong coordination, leadership, and interoperability in a realistic scenario.

A multi-agency simulation designed to test the effectiveness of a joint response to a marauding terrorist attack (MTA) near the Sellafield site has been widely praised.

The large-scale scenario – Exercise Merlin – took place at Griffin Park and focused on delivering a co-ordinated Operation Plato response involving Authorised Firearms Officers (AFOs) from the Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) and Cumbria Constabulary.

For the first time, Sellafield AFOs deployed alongside their Cumbria counterparts, marking a key milestone in interoperability and regional preparedness.

Exercise Merlin aimed to validate the effectiveness of a joint tactical firearms response to an MTA scenario, test command handover procedures between the CNC’s Sellafield Incident Manager (SIM) and Cumbria’s Force Incident Manager (FIM), as well as strengthen tactical co-ordination among site-based and regional response units.

Assistant Chief Constable Mick Vance, who attended the exercise, praised the collaboration and professionalism on display. He said: “I want to extend my sincere thanks to all those who planned, supported and participated in this important multi-agency exercise. I understand the level of planning that goes into these events, and it was pleasing to see the co-ordination of partner agencies in response to a credible and challenging scenario.”

Feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive, with all agencies highlighting the value of operating in a live, high-stakes simulation. Teams reported strong communication, clear leadership, and operational learning that will directly influence future planning and training.

The Planning Inspectorate’s CEO, Paul Morrison writes to The Minister of State, Matthew Pennycook MP in response to his letter of 9 October 2025.

Minister of State, Matthew Pennycook MP has written to the Planning Inspectorate (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-plan-examinations-letter-to-the-chief-executive-of-the-planning-inspectorate-october-2025) to outline his expectation that local plans submitted in the current plan-making system should be treated with an appropriate degree of flexibility.

Paul Morrison, Chief Executive at the Planning Inspectorate, in his reply welcomes his letter and confirms that Inspectors will continue to apply flexibility where legislation and national policy allow. The letter welcomes future changes to the plan-making system, particularly around the Duty to Cooperate and acknowledges the revocation of a previous Minister’s letter March 2014 regarding Green Belt reviews.

The Planning Inspectorate encourages all local authorities to remain in regular contact regarding timing of plan submission, to use the new pre-examination checklist when developing their plans and to use free Advisory Visits to help focus plan development on soundness and legal compliance.

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.
