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 Jackson Hogg 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;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.

- Flexible Leave For Spouses

Housing disrepair claims
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-04)

We want to understand more about claims management activity in housing disrepair claims.

This is a joint call for evidence carried out with the Ministry of Justice. We are seeking views on the role and impact of claims management activity in housing disrepair claims. This is to make sure the system of redress is as fair and effective as possible.

We are focusing on cases where tenants consider seeking redress through the County Court by bringing a claim against their landlord for housing disrepair and the role of claims management activity in this process.

We invite response from tenants, landlords, legal professionals and claims management companies. We would like to know about:
- their experiences of housing disrepair claims
- how the current process works
- what they think doesn’t work or is unclear

Gathering and analysing market survey results using AI
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-01)

GAD uses AI and interactive dashboards to analyse MHCLG's high-rise building survey, delivering actionable insights through cross-specialist collaboration.

The Government Actuary’s Department (GAD) has supported the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) by analysing the results of its survey into high-rise buildings.

Unique design

The survey’s unique design went beyond traditional quantitative data collection. It incorporated free-text responses that captured nuanced information.

GAD leveraged artificial intelligence to transform these unstructured responses into structured data, creating actionable insights for policy development, and helped standardise entries to enable more robust analysis.

Interactive dashboard

We worked with MHCLG to develop an interactive dashboard that allows users to interrogate the data effectively.

This tool uncovers trends and patterns enabling users to:
- drill down into specific topics
- identify geographic variations
- visualise changes over time
The dashboard makes complex information both accessible and compelling for decision-makers.

Cross-specialist collaboration

GAD’s approach emphasised collaboration with a cross-specialist group of actuaries, policy officials, economists, and delivery specialists. This multidisciplinary partnership ensured the analysis met diverse analytical needs while maintaining technical rigour.

The findings from GAD’s work have directly shaped MHCLG’s policy approach, supporting robust evaluation of policy options and their cost-effectiveness.

The adoption of generative AI and modern data visualisation techniques delivered significant efficiency savings whilst supporting evidence-based policy decisions.

Enhanced understanding

Actuary Jonathan Day led on the project and said: “Through this collaboration, the project team now better understands the dynamics of the market of interest. The project showcased the effectiveness of using multidisciplinary teams from across government to overcome complex problems.”

This enhanced understanding enables future interventions to be targeted more effectively, supporting MHCLG’s objectives.

CTM36806 - Particular topics: transactions in securities: persons affected
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-30)


ITA07/S684 (1) sets out the basic requirements. The legislation applies when:
- a person is a party to a transaction, or transactions, in securities, see CTM36810 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm36810), and
- covered by ITA07/S685, but
- not excluded by ITA07/S686, see CTM36830 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm36830).
In addition two further conditions must be satisfied, that:

For transactions occurring before 6 April 2016:
- the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the person being a party to the transaction or any of the transactions in securities is to obtain an Income Tax advantage, see CTM36815 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm36815), and
- the person obtains an Income Tax advantage in consequence of the transaction or the combined effect of the transactions.
For transactions occurring on or after 6 April 2016:
- the main purpose, or one of the main purposes of the transaction, or any of the transactions, in securities is to obtain an Income Tax advantage, see CTM36815 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm36815), and
- the person who is party to the transaction, or any other person, obtains an Income Tax advantage in consequence of the transaction or the combined effect of the transactions.
Thus, from 6 April 2016 the legislation considers the purpose or purposes of the transaction or transactions, rather than just the purpose or purposes of the person who was party to them. This broadens the scope of the test to include not only the main purpose or purposes of all the persons involved in the transactions but also the consequences that may be expected to result from those transactions.

If your Universal Credit is reviewed
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-28)

Find out what happens if your Universal Credit claim is reviewed.

Your Universal Credit claim might be reviewed to make sure you’re getting the right payment and support. This can happen at any time while you’re claiming Universal Credit.

You might be getting the wrong amount of Universal Credit if your details are not up to date. Make sure you report any changes in your circumstances (/universal-credit/changes-of-circumstances) when they happen.

This guide is also available in Welsh (Cymraeg) (/adolygiadau-credit-cynhwysol).

What happens at a review

If your claim is going to be reviewed, a Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) claim review agent will contact you in your online journal. They’ll ask you to both:
- send some documents
- have a phone appointment
During the review, your Universal Credit payment will only be stopped if one of the following applies:
- you do not provide the documents
- you do not attend your telephone appointment
- you’re not eligible for Universal Credit
The review might find that:
- you’re being paid too much Universal Credit
- you’re entitled to more Universal Credit
- there is no change to your Universal Credit amount
Contact the claim review agent if you need support with:
- your Universal Credit claim review
- providing any of the evidence requested
- getting your details up to date
What documents you’ll need to send

You’ll get a message in your online journal asking to see your ID and bank statements.

Looking at your payments and transactions will help your claim review agent understand if your details are up to date.

You might also need to share documents about your circumstances and the amount of Universal Credit you’re getting. For example you might need to provide documents about your:
- housing costs
- earnings or other income
- self-employment
- savings
- childcare costs
- children
- student finance
- caring responsibilities
The claim review agent will need to see your statements and documents without any changes or edits.

If you have questions about how to provide the right documents in the right format, ask the claim review agent for help in your online journal.

Your phone appointment

You’ll be invited to a phone appointment to discuss your claim.

Contact the claim review agent in your journal if you have any questions about the phone appointment.

If you’re not getting the right amount of Universal Credit

The review might find that you’re getting too much or too little in your Universal Credit payment.

If your Universal Credit needs to change, you’ll get a message in your online journal. Your future payments will be changed and you may get:
- an extra payment to make up what you’ve missed out on
- money taken off your payments
If you disagree with a decision made during your review you can challenge the decision (/mandatory-reconsideration).

Transfer of South Western Railway’s services into public ownership
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-21)

South Western Railway’s services will transfer into public ownership on 25 May 2025.

Following my statement in December last year (https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/public-ownership-railway-passenger-services), I can confirm to the House that, on Sunday 25 May 2025, South Western Railway’s services will transfer into public ownership.

South Western Railway’s services are the first to transfer to public ownership under the Passenger Railways Services (Public Ownership) Act 2024 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2024/25/enacted), a landmark piece of legislation passed by Parliament in November. From Sunday, operations will be run by a new public sector operator – South Western Railway Limited. For now this will be a subsidiary of the public corporation, DfT Operator Limited (DfTO), which will eventually transfer into Great British Railways (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/great-british-railways) (GBR), once established.

C2C’s services will be next to transfer into public ownership on 20 July 2025 and, as previously announced, I have issued an expiry notice to Greater Anglia confirming that their contract with the department will now expire on 12 October 2025. Greater Anglia’s services will transfer into public ownership on this date.

Sunday marks a watershed moment in the government’s plan to return the railways to the service of passengers and reform our broken railways, ending 30 years of fragmentation and delivers on our manifesto commitment to bring passenger services back into public control and put passengers firmly at the heart of the railways.

Public ownership will ensure services are run in the interests of passengers, not shareholders, and is a vital step in enabling the government to bring track and train together. But public ownership alone is not a silver bullet and will not fix the structural problems hindering the railways currently. That will take time.

Under this government’s plan to unify track and train under one organisation, GBR will be the single ‘directing mind’ for the railway, putting passengers and customers first, rebuilding trust in the railway and simplifying the industry.

In February, the government’s consultation on the Railways Bill (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/a-railway-fit-for-britains-future) outlined plans to establish GBR, which will consolidate the 14 different train operating companies, Network Rail and DfTO into a single organisation. The Railways Bill will be laid in this Parliamentary session and I expect GBR to be operational around 12 months after the bill receives Royal Assent

Approved Care and Support Ltd

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 Approved Care and Support 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 Approved Care and Support 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
- UK Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
We also pledge the following:

Seek to recognise individual skill sets to support the wider range of employment needs and training in the Domiciliary Care Sector.

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.

Growth Gateway: Investing in green sectors in Africa, mini-grids investment case
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-26)

Africa’s mini-grid market presents a £4 billion opportunity to electrify rural communities, driven by falling costs, strong policy support, and growing investor interest.

This document was prepared by the Growth Gateway programme team in collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group to support UK and global stakeholders in understanding the mini-grid investment landscape in Africa.

It was developed for audiences across FCDO, development partners, and potential UK investors seeking to explore green sector opportunities.

The document analyses the $5 billion mini-grid opportunity in Africa, outlines the growth drivers and market dynamics, identifies success factors and operational models for project viability. It also suggests strategic pathways for UK investors to engage with the sector.

It serves as both an investment case and a practical guide to navigating barriers such as concessional financing, regulation, and demand risk in mini-grid deployment across the continent.
