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 Rollalong 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.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Rollalong Limited 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
- Armed Forces Charities
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.

Guidance for local authorities on how to complete the section 151 (S151) officer assurance return and the schools financial value standard assurance (SFVS) statement for the 2024 to 2025 financial year.

Purpose of the returns

The S151 officer assurance return is for the section 151 (S151) officer to provide assurances that funding has been used for the intended purposes, in line with the terms and conditions of the grants and the funding rules, and they are not aware of any errors, exceptions or fraud.

Where grants are for an academic year and, therefore, span 2 financial years, we are seeking assurance for the 2024 to 2025 financial year funding only.

The schools financial value standard (SFVS) assurance statement allows the S151 officer to confirm that they have a system of audit for schools in place that gives them adequate assurance over their standards of financial management and the regularity and propriety of their spending.

Weekly all-cause mortality surveillance: 2024 to 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-17)

How the actual number of deaths in England compare with the expected numbers of deaths for each week.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) weekly all-cause mortality surveillance helps to detect and report significant weekly excess mortality (deaths) above normal seasonal levels. This report does not assess general trends in death rates or link excess death figures to particular factors.

Excess mortality is defined as a significant number of deaths reported over that expected for a given week in the year, allowing for weekly variation in the number of deaths. UKHSA investigates any spikes seen which may inform public health actions.

Reports are currently published weekly. In previous years, reports ran from October to September. Since 2021, reports run from mid-July to mid-July each year. This change is to align with the reports for the national flu and COVID-19 weekly surveillance report.

This page includes reports published from 11 July 2024 to the present.

Advance tax certainty for major projects consultation
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-26)

This consultation is seeking views on a new process to give major projects increased certainty in advance about the tax that applies.

At Autumn Budget 2024, the government announced in its Corporate Tax Roadmap that it would be consulting on a new process to provide increased tax certainty in advance for major projects.

The consultation seeks views on taxpayers’ priorities and sets out thinking on how a new process could work to support investment decisions.

Please submit responses to xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) and xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

This consultation also separately announces the outcome of the review of the transfer pricing treatment of Cost Contribution Arrangements (CCAs). Businesses will be able to obtain certainty on the transfer pricing treatment of such arrangements through the UK’s existing Advance Pricing Agreement programme.

The government is further supporting stability for business investment by consulting on a potential revised system of advance clearances for the Research & Development reliefs, (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/research-and-development-tax-relief-advance-clearances) with the aim of providing greater certainty for businesses planning to invest, while reducing error and fraud.

Source: gov.uk (2025-11-12)

Use and movement of veterinary medicines on the market in Northern Ireland before 1 January 2026.

2.1 Use and movement of veterinary medicines on the market before 1 January 2026

Veterinary medicines that are in stock, either in vet practices or wholesalers or retailers, before 31 December 2025, can be used up until their expiry date. This also includes products which are not yet physically in Northern Ireland but have been batch released and have an offer or (verbal or written) agreement for sale. Such products can still be moved to Northern Ireland in the same way that they are now.

VMD has been working with retailers in Northern Ireland to ensure online pharmacies remain available, with several online pharmacies indicating that they have plans to make the adjustments to continue to supply Northern Ireland.

Products that currently have a UK wide Marketing Authorisation (a 4000 number) can continue to be marketed in Northern Ireland

2.2 Pharmacovigilance

There are no changes to pharmacovigilance reporting, and these procedures remain unchanged, including where a product is sourced from the EU.

2.3 Wholesalers and retailers in Great Britain

Wholesalers or retailers in Great Britain can fulfil a Northern Ireland prescription for a product if either the product is obtained under the cascade or the required batch testing and release activities will be performed in Northern Ireland.

Review of local authorities’ relative needs and resources
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-17)

Technical consultation on the assessment of local authorities’ relative needs, relative resources and transitional arrangements.

This consultation seeks views on the approach to measuring the relative needs and resources of local authorities, which will determine new baseline funding allocations for local authorities in England in 2020-21.

This consultation:
- proposes to simplify the assessment of local authorities’ relative needs
- considers the type of adjustment that will be made to an authority’s relative needs assessment to take account of the relative resources available to them to fund local services
- proposes a set of principles that will be used to design potential transitional arrangements and examines how the baseline for the purposes of transition should be established.
The introductory presentation is to be read alongside this consultation and the technical paper maps local authority spending lines onto our proposed relative needs assessment outlined in the consultation.

The responses we received on the December 2017 consultation on relative needs (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/fair-funding-review-a-review-of-relative-needs-and-resources) have been carefully considered in taking forward the work of the review and in preparing this consultation paper.

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 Graham’s The Family Dairy 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;
