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 Gaskell Safety 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 Gaskell Safety 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 Reservists
- 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.

ECSH33110 - Confirming roles and responsibilities
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-06)


Establishing who are the beneficial owners, officers and managers

Following your initial contact with the business, you should have confirmed that the business’s registration details from ETMP are correct and up to date (see ECSH32820 What to (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh32820)establish (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh32820)).

You should establish who the beneficial owners, officers and managers (BOOMs) are. BOOMs are defined in regulation 3 of The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017).

Points to consider may include:
- Who would be considered BOOMs? See ECSH45791 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh45791).
- How many BOOMs are there?
- Have the BOOMs passed the Fit and Proper Test (money service businesses and trust or company service providers) or approvals? (Art market participants, accountancy service providers, estate agency businesses, high value dealers and letting agency businesses).
- Are all the BOOMs listed as responsible persons on the business’s registration?
- If not, what is the reason for this?
Roles and responsibilities

After establishing who the BOOMs are within the business, you should confirm their role and responsibilities.

Questions may include:
- What is included in the day-to-day roles of the BOOMs?
- Who is responsible for receiving internal reports of suspicion?
- Who is responsible for the business’s compliance with the MLR 2017?
(This content has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000) You should consider if this is the case, and if so, how much time do they spend on this business in comparison to their other business/es and how they are able to fulfil their duties.

Note that the same person could be responsible for both receiving internal reports of suspicion and the business’s compliance with the MLR 2017. Alternatively, the responsibilities may be held by different individuals depending on the size and nature of the business. There may be instances where responsibilities are shared amongst a number of responsible persons. It is important to understand who is ultimately responsible for each area and how duties are managed between the individuals.

See ECSH33111 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh33111) nominated officer and ECSH33112 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh33112) compliance officer.

Other Staff Members

You should consider the roles and responsibilities of other staff members:
- Are there other staff members involved in regulated activity?
- Do the roles of other staff members fit the definition of a BOOM?

Goods entered into the CW regime are not liable for CAP charges or licensing until they are removed to free circulation.

When goods are removed from warehouse the quantity released to free circulation determines the need for a licence not the original quantity entered into warehouse, eg if the original quantity going into the CW is above the de minimis licensing level but the quantity removed to free circulation is below the de minimis, an import licence is not required.

When goods are warehoused for excise duty purposes only, with customs duty being paid at importation, any necessary licence must be presented at the time of importation.

Certificates of Origin etc, which are required for the goods, must also be submitted with the licence.

PAYE54190 - Employer returns: regulation 80 determinations: amendments on appeal
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-26)


Sometimes after a determination has been made, new information may become available that shows the amount is either excessive or too little.

Once a determination has been made, it can only be varied upon appeal. There are only three situations when it can be amended
- 1) An agreement with the taxpayer to settle the appeal, under s54 TMA 1970
- 2) HMRC notifies the taxpayer of an offer for a review and sends their view of the matter, but the taxpayer does not respond within the acceptance period. The view of the matter letter is treated as an agreement under s54(1) TMA 1970 by virtue of s49C(4) TMA 1970
- 3) A review officer can conclude that the amounts in a determination should be varied, under s49E(5) TMA 1970. This is treated as an agreement under s54 TMA 1970 by virtue of s49F(2) TMA 1970 unless the taxpayer rejects the conclusion and appeals to the tribunal
- 4) The tribunal vary the determination under s50(6)/(7) TMA 1970
If the determination was not under appeal, it will have become final and determined so a further determination will need to be considered.

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 Diamond Light Source 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 Diamond Light Source 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:

- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
We also pledge the following:

Recognising military skills and qualifications on applications for new positions. Providing a buddy scheme to assist transition of new joiners with a service background.

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.

Support for Taiwan’s meaningful engagement with the WHO in 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-19)

Joint press release: Support for Taiwan’s meaningful engagement with the World Health Organization and participation as an observer in the World Health Assembly

We, the British Office Taipei; the Australian Office Taipei; the Canadian Trade Office in Taipei; the Czech Economic and Cultural Office; French Office in Taipei; the German Institute Taipei; the Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association; and the Lithuanian Trade Representative Office wish to reaffirm our support for Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the work of the World Health Organization and Taiwan’s participation as an observer in the World Health Assembly.

As this year’s 78th session of the World Health Assembly commences in Geneva, Taiwan remains largely excluded from the world’s international health system. As COVID-19 and continued public health crises make plain, infectious diseases and health hazards do not respect borders. Global cooperation is required to keep the whole world safe.

Taiwan has shown itself to be a highly capable, engaged, and responsible member of the global health community and was invited to participate as an observer in WHA meetings from 2009 to 2016. Taiwan’s distinct capabilities and methods – including its significant public health expertise, democratic governance, and advanced technology – bring considerable value that would inform the WHA’s deliberations. Taiwan’s isolation from the WHA, the preeminent global health forum, is entirely unjustified. This undermines inclusive global public health cooperation and security, which the world demands, and which is enshrined in the founding documents of the WHO.

Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the fora and technical committees of the World Health Organization would bring benefits not just to people in Taiwan, but also around the world. Only by including Taiwan as an observer would the WHO be able to fully exemplify the Health Assembly’s commitment to “One World for Health.”
