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.

Compendium of approaches to improving competition in digital markets (2025)
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-03)

How competition authorities across G7 jurisdictions continue to respond to the challenges posed by digital markets.

This compendium was prepared by the Competition Bureau Canada as part of Canada’s G7 presidency in 2025. It follows the:
- 2021 compendium (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/compendium-of-approaches-to-improving-competition-in-digital-markets) prepared by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority
- 2022 compendium (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/2022-compendium-of-approaches-to-improving-competition-in-digital-markets) prepared by Germany’s Bundeskartellamt
- 2023 compendium (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/2023-compendium-of-approaches-to-improving-competition-in-digital-markets) prepared by the Japan Fair Trade Commission
The Group of 7 (G7) countries are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as the European Union.

On 2 October 2025, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and Department for Business and Trade (DBT) attended the Joint Competition Enforcers and Policymakers’ Summit in Ottawa. The Summit was jointly hosted by the Competition Bureau Canada and the Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada.

Representatives of the other G7 member states, the European Commission, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) also attended the Summit.

Discussions at the Summit focused on digital competition issues, especially algorithmic pricing, and its impact on competition, markets and the economy.

To build on the work of previous summits, G7 competition authorities, led by Canada, updated this compendium. It offers a comprehensive overview of how competition authorities across G7 jurisdictions continue to respond to the challenges posed by digital markets. It also highlights important updates in approaches to both enforcement and policymaking.

The updated compendium is structured around 4 topics:
- Latest enforcement and advocacy efforts in digital competition issues
- Examples of strengthening internal capabilities to better deal with digital competition issues
- Legislative and reform initiatives regarding digital competition issues
- Examples of collaboration with non-competition agencies and other policy areas
The compendium is designed to help national governments, policymakers, and industry participants, as well as counterpart competition authorities.

COM53070 - Claims/reliefs: other reliefs: group and consortium relief, giving effect to claims
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-06)


This subject is presented as follows.

Group relief claim made in a return (#return)Group relief claim made by amending a return (#amending)Group relief claim made after the time limit for amending the return has expired (#expired)

Group relief claim made in a return

If a return is submitted using the CT Online Service, the self assessment is automatically recorded, subject to normal validation checks. The case appears on EFRL (E-Filed Return List) for review because it must include a supplementary page. See COM23150 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com23150) for more information.

Group relief claim made by amending a return

If a company has already submitted its return, it may make group relief claims by amending its return.

If the claim is made on paper within the time limit for amending the return, use the ‘record a taxpayer amendment’ option in function RAMA (Record/Amend Assessment) to record the group relief claim on COTAX.

The CT Online Service does not allow an amendment to be submitted outside the time limit.

See COM23010 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com23010) for more information.

Group relief claim made after the time limit for amending the return has expired

If a claim is made on paper after the time limit for amending the return has expired and the Grade 7 caseworker accepts the late claim, use the ‘record a taxpayer amendment’ option in function RAMA (Record/Amend Assessment) to record the group relief claim on COTAX.

See:
- COM53110 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com53110) for information about late claims
- COM23010 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com23010) for more information on amendments
Claims to group relief must be made in, or by amendment of, the company’s tax return. It follows that:
- schedule 1A Taxes Management Act (TMA) 1970 (claims or elections that cannot be dealt with by inclusion in a return either as first made or by amendment) does not apply to group relief claims
- you should never use the ‘process a claim’ option in function RAMA to record a group relief claim
Where a late claim is accepted, the time limits otherwise applicable to the amendment of a company tax return do not apply to the extent that the amendment makes or withdraws a claim to group relief within the time limit allowed.

You can therefore use the ‘record a taxpayer amendment’ option in function RAMA to record the group relief claim on COTAX.

If the Grade 7 caseworker considers that the late claim should be refused:
- do not use the ‘record a taxpayer amendment’ option in function RAMA
- submit the case to CTIAA (CT Structure, Incentives and Reliefs Team)
See:
- COM53012 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com53012) for a list of functions to use in particular situations

Cooking appliance comparison for common foods in Kenya
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-06)

This study makes a comparison between commonly used household cooking appliances and performance when cooking local meals.

Abstract

This study is one of the 12 projects under eCAP that seeks to make a comparison between commonly used household cooking appliances and their performance when cooking local Kenyan meals.

The findings are from a series of Controlled Cooking Tests (CCTs) conducted in Kenya Power’s Pika na Power Kitchen, where local dishes representing typical cooking practices were prepared using different fuels and devices to compare performance. The study examined fuel/energy consumption, the time taken to cook the meals, and the cost of energy. The categories of dishes included in this test include long-boiling foods (beans and beef), vegetables (spinach), and starch staples (rice, chapati, ugali, and chips). The selected dishes utilize different combinations of the three dominant cooking processes in Kenyan cuisine: boiling, shallow frying/stewing, and deep frying. The 7 dishes were each prepared across a set of 10 cooking appliances, both electrical and non-electrical. These appliances were the air fryer, hotplate, induction cooker, infrared cooker, rice cooker, ethanol stove, improved charcoal stove (ICS), liquid petroleum gas (LPG) cooker, kerosene stove, and electric pressure cooker (EPC). This study also evaluates the performance and user experience of various cooking appliances across different meals, assessing factors such as ease of use and taste. The EPC and induction stove stand out as top performers, excelling in energy efficiency, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. Their ability to cook a range of foods quickly and consume minimal energy positions them as a top choice for those seeking a cost-effective and convenient solution.

This paper is part of the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) Programme.

Loss of control after flight mode change, White Waltham Airfield, Berkshire, 2 April 2024

During a test flight to validate a flight control software update, the UA climbed and veered left. It then descended and struck two unoccupied General Aviation (GA) aircraft, coming to rest underneath the second. The UA was destroyed.

The operator’s investigation identified that the UA lost control due to the software commanding more thrust than needed for level flight. Several technical, process and human performance factors contributed to the accident.

The operator has taken thirteen safety actions to prevent reoccurrence.

Judicial Summary

This decision concerns the application of section 15 of the Equality Act 2010 (discrimination arising from disability). The Tribunal erred when considering something arising in consequence of disability and the influence on unfavourable treatment. The Tribunal also erred in relation to its approach to justification. Something arising in consequence of disability can be a significant influence on the unfavourable treatment, or a cause which is not the main or sole cause but is nonetheless an effective cause of that treatment. The approach to justification under section 15 requires balanced consideration of the discriminatory effect on the disabled individual against the legitimate aim: a critical review of whether the impact of the discrimination is disproportionate to the likely benefit of the measure. The appeal relating to section 20 of the Equality Act 2010 (reasonable adjustments) and inadequate reasons are dismissed. The case is remitted to a new tribunal panel .

Department for Education (DfE) data showing aggregate payments made to childcare providers and education institutions for both Care to Learn and the 16 to 19 Bursary Fund for students in defined vulnerable groups.

This document shows aggregate payments made to childcare providers and education institutions for both Care to Learn and the 16 to 19 Bursary Fund for students in defined vulnerable groups.

Care to Learn

Care to Learn is intended to help young parents (defined as those aged under 20) to continue in education after the birth of a child. It provides funding towards childcare while the young parent is engaged in a study programme and is not able to provide care for their child. Care to Learn can also help with travel costs involved in taking the child to the childcare provider.

16 to 19 Bursary Fund

The 16 to 19 Bursary Fund provides financial support to help students overcome specific barriers to participation so they can remain in education. Education institutions receive an allocation to provide discretionary bursary support to students. In addition, students who meet the criteria, and who have a financial need, can apply for a bursary for students in defined vulnerable groups of up to £1,200 per year.
