No 1 AIDU provides aeronautical information products and services to UK defence.

No 1 Aeronautical Information Documents Unit (No 1 AIDU) has a mission to provide timely, relevant and accurate aeronautical information in support of defence objectives. As part of the National Centre for Geospatial Intelligence, No 1 AIDU compiles and distributes Aeronautical Information to all MOD aviation assets as well as PAG and allies worldwide.

We work to the Aeronautical Information Regulation and Control (AIRAC) cycle, an internationally mandated schedule that ensures the most up-to-date information is procured and compiled for front line aircrew. Data is ingested from worldwide sources, compiled into products in easy-to-read formats and then prepared for external printing.

Increasingly, Aeronautical Information is required digitally, so No 1 AIDU compiles data formats and raster images of our products for specific uses. Around 1 million products per annum are printed externally and distributed to customers. The complete digital product set is available digitally through our online digital distribution service MilFlip (https://www.aidu.mod.uk/Milflip/).

Since 1999, the unit has continually held a certificate of excellence from the British Standards Institute (BSI) for compliance with EN ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems, currently the 2015 standard. In addition, No 1 AIDU has met the requirements of ED-76A accreditation - the European Directive governing all electronically gathered and produced aeronautical data.

Currently, No 1 AIDU provides key mission support to various essential operations, solidifying its relevance in today’s modern defence.

MTT54230 - Administration: Payments and interest: Group payment notices - Ring-fenced entities
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


A group payment notice can only be issued to a ring-fenced entity if the responsible member that was originally liable is also a member of the same ring-fenced body sub-group.

A ‘ring-fenced entity’ is a body corporate which is a ring-fenced body or a member of a ring-fenced body sub-group.

A ‘ring-fenced body sub-group' is a group of entities consisting of:
- a ring-fenced body parent undertaking and its subsidiaries, or
- a ring-fenced body, which is not a subsidiary of a ring-fenced body parent undertaking, and its subsidiaries.
In this context, a ring-fenced body has the same meaning as in section 142A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, and a ring-fenced body parent undertaking is a body corporate subject to rules made under section 192JA of the same Act.

This is set out in paragraph 35, schedule 14 to Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

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 Affinity Water 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 Affinity Water 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
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
We also pledge the following:

Granting additional paid leave for annual Reserve Forces training.

Supporting the Poppy Appeal Day and Remembrance activities.

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.

Not Started and Unfinished Claims to Universal Credit (UC Hesitancy Research)
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-18)

The aim of this research is to better understand the non-claimant population, why they don’t claim Universal Credit (UC), the financial and non-financial impact this has on them, and to understand the issues and barriers that prevent them from claiming.

This research involved a quantitative survey and two stages of qualitative in-depth interviews. The quantitative strand of this research included online or telephone surveys with 4,243 participants who had either dropped out of making a Universal Credit (UC) claim, were currently in receipt of legacy benefits or were eligible for UC but had not made a UC claim.

The survey was conducted between November and December 2021. The qualitative phases of this research included 5 in-depth interviews conducted in October 2022 with third party organisations involved in supporting people who are likely to be claiming or entitled to UC and 50 follow-up in-depth interviews conducted in January and February 2022 with survey participants who had agreed to be recontacted.

The research focused on the following:
- the background of non-claimants including their household composition, financial and employment situation, attitudes towards work, digital competency and internet access
- perceptions of UC and Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and reasons for not claiming UC or for dropping out during the claim process
- support to overcome barriers to claiming UC as well as wider support needs including employment and financial support and organisations/people they’d trust to provide support
Contribution to the evidence base

This research contributes to the body of evidence on Universal Credit that can be used to inform Policy and Programme decisions in the future.

Research value

Findings from this research will help inform Universal Credit policy decisions by allowing the department to understand non-claimants and the barriers that prevent them from claiming.

Energy codes and central systems: qualifying designation
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-23)

The Secretary of State has designated certain documents and central systems as qualifying for the purposes of Schedule 12 of the Energy Act 2023.

Update: 23 May 2025

The qualifying designation notice for energy codes and central systems has been amended to reflect that the National Electricity Transmission System Security and Quality of Supply Standard (SQSS) energy code has been designated by the Secretary of State as a ‘qualifying document’ under Schedule 12 to the Energy Act 2023. This designation takes effect from 23 May 2025 - the ‘Amended Designation Notice Date’.

This update is in line with the recommendation provided by the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (GEMA) in their letter of recommendation (https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications/letter-recommendation-secretary-state-designation-codes-and-central-systems) to the Secretary of State on 11 December 2024.

The Energy Act 2023 introduces a new governance framework for energy codes and gives new strategic functions for the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (GEMA).

Schedule 12 provides for certain transitional powers of GEMA for the purpose of establishing the new governance framework. Those powers are exercisable in relation to codes and systems that are designated by the Secretary of State as ‘qualifying documents’ and ‘qualifying central systems’.

Those powers include powers to modify licence conditions, energy codes and contracts that relate to central systems, in connection with establishing the new governance framework and selecting and licensing code managers.

Following a formal letter of recommendation (https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications/letter-recommendation-secretary-state-designation-codes-and-central-systems) from GEMA, the Secretary of State has designated certain energy codes and systems as qualifying documents and central systems for the purposes outlined in Schedule 12 of the Act. This is set out in the Designation Notice and will allow Ofgem to use its transitional powers to implement energy code governance reform.

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 One (UK) 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 One (UK) 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:
- 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
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.
