AAIB investigation to Piper PA-28-181, G-JACS
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-14)

Loss of control following engine start, Fowlmere Aerodrome, Cambridgeshire, 27 April 2025

The aircraft’s engine started at an unexpectedly high power setting, caused by the throttle being set excessively open. The pilot manoeuvred the aircraft but did not retard the throttle or apply the brakes, and it struck a building. This accident highlights the importance of correctly following the aircraft’s checklist and also the need to anticipate an unexpected outcome during a routine task such as starting the engine.

British Army Challenge Set 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-21)

The British Army’s rapid capability development Challenge Set.

This is the first version of the British Army’s rapid capability development Challenge Set. It has been developed in support of the Army’s ambition to double its lethality by 2027 and derived from extensive force development work conducted by Army Futures.

It is intended to help engage industry partners in the search for new ideas and technologies which expedite the transition towards a fifth-generation Army.

Identifying and spirally developing capabilities in response to these challenges is at the centre of the Army’s contribution to the Strategic Defence Review. It will drive a significant programme of investment for the Army.

Industry organisations looking to engage with the Challenge Set and the British Army should visit the Defence Sourcing Portal (https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/ogc-host/public/mod/web/login.html?VISITORID=6e87c30a-9842-4f25-91c3-dc2e61b416e6&_ncp=1752486515768.68138-1).
Maritime and Coastguard Agency issues new guidance for safe navigation in the digital age
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-13)

Update to stay ahead of developing technology and maritime practices.

New guidance has been published by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) today (Monday 13 January 2025) to support the technological development of digital navigation and its safe use by smaller commercial craft.

An amendment to Marine Guidance Note (MGN) 319 (M+F) sets out updates for accepted standards and compliance for electronic chart systems used as a means of navigation by operators of commercial vessels up to 24 metres in length.

To also support equipment manufacturers to develop safe and effective hardware and software, it is being published alongside clear specifications such as screen size and necessary features when using official charts.

The guidance will assist both seafarers and digital navigation companies to secure viable, compliant alternatives to paper charts and facilitate the transition to electronic navigation. It also clarifies the required provision of suitable back-up arrangements.

Compliant systems will be termed Small Vessel Electronic Chart System (SV-ECS).

Mike Bunton, MCA Head of Navigation, said:

Clear and reliable navigation systems, when used by a well-trained navigator, can significantly improve safe navigation at sea. The MCA is updating its guidance to stay ahead as technology develops and maritime practices change.

With safety in mind, this Marine Guidance Note update supports operators to understand their obligations clearly. It also guides manufacturers of electronic charting hardware and software so their products provide the tools needed for safe and efficient navigation.

MGN 319 (M+F) has been developed in consultation with industry and manufacturers of electronic chart systems.

- Small vessel ECS performance standard (SV-ECS) - GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/small-vessel-ecs-performance-standard-sv-ecs)
Background

MGN 319 (M+F) applies to small vessels in commercial use (code boats) up to 24 metres load line length operating under the UK flag and in UK waters, including small motor vessels, small sailing vessels, small workboats and pilot boats, and small commercial vessels used for sport/pleasure.

The standards apply only to new hardware and software; existing Mini-ECDIS-compliant systems are still accepted where fitted to a vessel prior to 31 July 2026.

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 Abri Housing Group 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;

IHTM27171 - Foreign property: Double Taxation Conventions: Netherlands
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


From 6 April 2025, for inheritance tax purposes, domicile is replaced by long-term UK residence and you can find details of these rules at IHTM47000. (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47000)

Where the transferor was, according to the Double Taxation Convention:

Domiciled or resident in the Netherlands, and

had not been domiciled in the UK or was not a long-term UK resident within the 10 years of the transfer.

the UK must waive its taxing rights on any asset the transferor held that was within Article 8, even if it was situated in the UK. You should consult Technical about any proof of taxation in the Netherlands.

When a double taxation credit is due under Article 13, you may allow the amount claimed in IHT400 provisionally. But the case should not be closed until the payment of Dutch succession duty has been certified by the Dutch authorities. There is no special form for a certificate. You should tell the taxpayer or agent to obtain a statement from the Dutch authorities showing:

(a) the total tax attributable to the property in question (excluding any interest and penalties)

(b) the property and its value on which that tax was charged

(c) the date of payment of that tax

(d) that the tax was computed in accordance with the Convention

(e) that the tax is final

(f) that no application for a refund of tax is now pending or authorised and that, if a refund is made, due notice will be given to this office.

The Dutch authorities will send the certificate in the form of a letter direct to us.

BLM17060 - Lease accounting under IFRS 16 and FRS 102 (2024 amendments): sub lease
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-19)


This manual is being updated to reflect FRS 102 (2024 amendments). For guidance on the tax treatment of accounts prepared under IFRS 16 or the revised FRS 102, please refer to pages within the BLM50000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm50000) chapter.

IFRS 16.B58 and FRS 102 (2024 amendments) 20.92 state:

In classifying a sublease, an intermediate lessor shall classify the sublease as a finance lease or an operating lease as follows: (a) if the head lease is a short-term lease that the entity, as a lessee, has accounted for applying IFRS 16.6/ FRS 102 (2024 amendments) 20.6, the sublease shall be classified as an operating lease. (b) otherwise, the sublease shall be classified by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, rather than by reference to the underlying asset (for example, the item of property, plant or equipment that is the subject of the lease).

The broad principles to follow when accounting for subleases under IFRS 16 and FRS 102 (2024 amendments) are as follows:

Head lessor

The head lessor’s accounting is not affected if the intermediate party enters into a sub-lease, unless the original lease agreement between those parties is replaced.

Ultimate lessee

The ultimate lessee recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability as normal.

Intermediate lessor

The head lease liability is unchanged for the intermediate lessor, but the accounting for the right-of-use asset is dependant on the classification of the sub-lease:
- Sublease is a finance lease: The intermediate party derecognises the right-of-use asset and recognises a lease receivable
- Sublease is an operating lease: The intermediate party continues to recognise the right-of-use asset, with revenue from the sub-lease recognised over the term of the sublease.

Learning to cook in Uganda
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-09)

This report aims to explore how people living in urban areas of Uganda acquire cooking skills.

Abstract

This study uses qualitative research methods, specifically through interviews with different categories of people selected from urban areas of Uganda using criteria such as regular cooking within households, willingness to participate, and diversity of ethnicity and regions. The study examines the shift in the acquisition of cooking skills, the factors driving the shift, the impact on traditional ways of passing down the skills, the effectiveness and retention of skills from digital platforms compared to traditional methods, and the impact of modern cooking techniques on cooking skills, food culture, and overall well-being among urban Ugandans. The study aims to inform specific interventions or approaches for transition to clean cooking that are inclusive and culturally sensitive to cooking practices in Uganda.

This is an output of the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) programme.

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

-promoting the fact that we are an armed forces-friendly organisation, by including an statement to this effect in our correspondence with customers and suppliers

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.
