Source: gov.uk (2025-02-10)

A new indicator has been added showing fast food outlets per 100,000 population for local authorities in England.

This tool brings together available indicators at England and local authority levels on the wider determinants of health.

The Wider Determinants of Health tool is designed to:
- draw attention to the broad range of individual, social and environmental factors which influence our health
- provide the public health system with intelligence on the wider determinants of health, to help improve population health and reduce health inequalities
For the February 2025 update, a new indicator has been added to the profile showing the number of fast food outlets per 100,000 population in 2024 for local authorities in England. Details of this release can be found in ‘Wider Determinants of Health: statistical commentary on the location of fast food outlets, February 2025’.

The supporting data file contains counts of fast food outlets in 2024 for electoral wards in England and also local authority level baseline comparator data on the number of fast food outlets per 100,000 population in 2017.

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 Norfolk & Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust 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.

We also pledge the following:

ensuring that veterans have access to mental health professionals who are competent in supporting those who have served.

CTM08430 - Corporation Tax: management expenses: statutory provisions
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-17)


CTA09/PART16/CHAPTER3

Chapter 3 provides for certain expenses to be treated as expenses of management within CTA09/S1219 (1).

Staffing Costs

CTA09/S1239 treats as expenses of management statutory redundancy payments made under Part 11 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and Part 12 of the Employment Rights (Northern Ireland) Order.

Under CTA09/S1242 additional payments up to a maximum of three times the amount of the statutory redundancy payment will be eligible for relief as expenses of management.

Where a 'company with investment business' claims redundancy payments as management expenses, refer to the guidance at BIM47200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim47200) onwards.

CTA09/S1236 treats the employers' expenses of operating a payroll giving/payroll deduction scheme as expenses of management. Employees may authorise their employers to deduct gifts to charities from their pay. The employers must pay the gifts over to an agency approved by HMRC.

There is relief under CTA09/S1235 for expenditure attributable to the employment where a ‘company with investment business’ makes available the services of an employee to a charity (or to certain educational establishments) on a temporary basis. In such a case the expenditure on the remuneration and related costs of the employee may still qualify as an expense of management. There is detailed guidance for trading companies on employees seconded to charities at BIM47115 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim47115) and to educational establishments at BIM47120 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim47120).

CTA09/S1234 treats as an expense of management a payment made or any other valuable consideration given to an employee in respect of a restrictive undertaking where that payment is taxed as earnings by ITEPA03/S225.

CTA09/1238 allows relief for costs of retraining employees.

CTA09/S1237 allows the costs of counselling services for employees.

Other expenditure

CTA09/S1244 allows contributions to local enterprise organsisations and to urban regeneration companies. These bodies are defined in CTA09/S83 and S86 respectively.

CTA09/S1245

CTA09/S1245 treats certain sums paid by a person to the Export Credits Guarantee Department under investment insurance schemes as management expenses, whether or not the sums would be allowable on normal principles. There is guidance on the Export Credits Guarantee insurance scheme at BIM45580 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim45580).

CTA09/S1246 allows, as expenses of management, levies and other expenditure incurred under Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FISMA).

CMA letter to NatWest about breaching Parts 7, 8 and 9 of the Retail Banking Order
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-04)

Letter to NatWest Group plc, after the Competition and Markets Authority found it breached Parts 7, 8 and 9 of the Retail Banking Market Investigation Order 2017.

Part 7 of the Retail Banking Market Investigation Order 2017 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/retail-banking-market-investigation-order-2017) (the Order) requires banks to set a Monthly Maximum Charge (MMC) in relation to unarranged overdraft charges. Providers cannot charge customers more than the MMC in any given month. Providers must say what their MMC is each time they mention unarranged overdraft charges in product literature.

Part 8 of the Order requires banks to disclose the representative cost in Equivalent Annual Rate (EAR) terms of their overdrafts and in Annual Percentage Rate (APR) terms for their loans in the way set out in the Order.

Part 9 of the Order requires that banks offer a price and eligibility tool which will enable SMEs to obtain an indicative price quote and indication of their eligibility for unsecured loans and standard tariff unsecured business overdrafts.

NatWest breached the Order by failing to:

either provide the MMC, or to provide the correct MMC to around 104,800 customers in three separate breaches (Part 7). The longest breach lasted from 16 June 2023 to 2 April 2024.

include the Representative EAR in letters to 66,765 SME customers which included an offer to renew an overdraft between May 2021 and February 2024 (Part 8)

continuously offer the price and eligibility tool defined in the Order on four occasions (Part 9). The longest breach was between at least 1 May 2023 until 5 July 2024 and affected around 200 SMEs per month

This letter sets out our concerns and what NatWest did to put things right.

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.

The Prime Minister met NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte this afternoon in Copenhagen ahead of the European Political Community summit tomorrow.

The leaders began by reflecting on the recent developments on Ukraine and welcomed President Trump’s strong statement in response to Russia’s stalling tactics on a peace deal. They agreed that Putin could not win the war and continues to lie to the Russian people about his successes.

Turning to NATO, both leaders recognised the value of the Eastern Sentry in deterring further reckless aggression from Russia towards the Alliance, while acknowledging the need to consider all options to bolster defences further.

The Prime Minister noted that partners needed to continue to defend the Eastern flank, while remaining sharply focused on equipping Ukraine and its armed forces so they can continue to repel Russia’s illegal invasion.

They agreed to keep in close touch.

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.
