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.

- Compulsory Liquidation
- Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL)
- Bankruptcy
- Administrative Receiverships
- Scottish trust deeds
The Enforcement and Insolvency Service (EIS) issues claims for:

TRA proposes keeping measure on Chinese ceramic kitchenware
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-12)

The TRA has proposed that an anti-dumping measure on ceramic tableware and kitchenware from China be maintained until 16 July 2029.

The Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has today (12 June 2025) published initial findings (https://www.trade-remedies.service.gov.uk/public/case/TD0056/submission/75409f43-8df6-448f-84f6-15716bb42101/) proposing that an anti-dumping measure on certain ceramic tableware and kitchenware products imported from China be maintained for an additional five years, until 16 July 2029.

Extending this measure will ensure that the UK’s industry, which produces and sells around £100m worth of ceramic tableware and kitchenware each year, continues to be protected from unfair competition.

The reviewed products include a variety of commonly used ceramic kitchen and tableware consumer items, such as plates, bowls, mugs, and cups. Detailed information about these products can be found in the investigation’s public file (https://www.trade-remedies.service.gov.uk/public/case/TD0056/).

In its Statement of Essential Facts (SEF), the TRA found that dumping would be likely to continue in increased volumes if the measures were removed, and that injury to UK industry would be likely as a result. The investigation revealed that Chinese exports were entering the UK market at significantly lower prices, approximately 75% cheaper than similar products sold by UK manufacturers.

The estimated size of the ceramic tableware and kitchenware market in the UK is around £350 million, with Chinese imports accounting for 67% of all imports to the UK in 2024.

Current anti-dumping duties on Chinese ceramic tableware and kitchenware imports range from 13.1% to 36.1%, depending on the exporter.

Businesses that may be affected by these findings can submit comments to the TRA by 03 July 2025 and can do so through the TRA’s public file (https://www.trade-remedies.service.gov.uk/).

Background information:

The initial findings published today follow a transition review that was initiated on 15 May 2024.

The Trade Remedies Authority is the independent UK body that investigates whether new trade remedy measures are needed to counter unfair import practices and unforeseen surges of imports.

The TRA is an arm’s length body of the Department for Business and Trade.

Anti-dumping duties allow a country or union to act against goods which are being sold at less than their normal value – this is defined as the price for ‘like goods’ sold in the exporter’s home market.

The period of investigation (POI) was 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024. To assess injury, the TRA chose the period from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2024 as the injury period (IP).

The UK Standard Skills Classification (SSC) was first proposed in 2023 as a coherent framework and common language for describing the skills, tasks, and knowledge required across UK occupations. The project has 2 main phases.

Phase One resulted in a report, ‘A skills classification for the UK - GOV.UK’ (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/a-skills-classification-for-the-uk), which outlined how the SSC would be developed.

This new report provides a progress update from Phase Two of the project which explains how the SSC is being developed, including recommendations for how future developments and updates will be made.

It sets out the SSC’s structure, methodological approach, and potential applications, as well as plans for ongoing maintenance and future development.

Planning Inspectorate spending over £250: February 2025

All Planning Inspectorate spending over £250 during February 2025

The Planning Inspectorate has determined that the publication of spend data that does or is likely to identify those individuals’ supplying planning appeal decisions services, regardless of the way they supply the services, would pose a credible threat to their personal security. We used the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) as our frame of reference to make this judgement. More specifically that the publication of these spend data is “exempt under FOI to protect the identities of companies and individuals providing services to HM Government”, in particular “where disclosure of either paying department or recipient would pose a personal security threat”. The very real likelihood of a personal security threat is sufficient grounds for redacting spend data that we would ordinarily publish.

Product Safety Report for AYITOO Wax Machine Heater presenting a high risk of electric shock.

Summary

Product: AYITOO Wax Machine Heater sold via Amazon

Hazard: The product presents a high risk of electric shock as there is inadequate protection against access to live parts.

Corrective action: The import has been rejected at the border.

Product information

Hazard

The product presents a high risk of electric shock as there is inadequate protection against accidental contact with live parts due to the basic insulation of wires being in contact with accessible metal parts. It should only be possible to touch parts separated from live parts by double or reinforced insulation.

The plug’s fuse did not meet the requirements of BS 1362 as it had not been supplied with any granular filler which is required to ensure safe operation under fault conditions. As the fuse is a primary safety device, there is also a risk of fire or injury should it fail to operate correctly when required. The instructions were deemed inadequate as they did not contain information to ensure the correct and safe use of the equipment. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.

The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs & Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994.

Corrective action

The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.

NMWM13050 - Issuing Notices of Underpayment: who should issue a notice
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-17)


Relevant legislation (#IDACOP5G)General (#IDAQOP5G)Original investigating officer unable to issue notice (#IDA4OP5G)

Relevant legislation

The legislation that applies to this page is as follows:
- National Minimum Wage Act, section 19
General

The Notice of Underpayment will usually be issued by the NMW Officer who has investigated the case. Before issuing the notice they must review the case and decide whether the evidence they have already gathered is sufficient to form an opinion that National Minimum Whage arrears have arisen. They should identify any gaps, weaknesses or discrepancies in the investigation, and if necessary, take steps to gather additional information and/or resolve any outstanding issues before issuing a Notice of Underpayment. This review of the evidence must be clearly recorded. When they are satisfied that the evidence is sufficient to form an opinion, they should consider issuing a Notice of Underpayment (NMWM13030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-minimum-wage-manual/nmwm13030)).

Original investigating officer unable to issue notice

In normal circumstances, the officer who has investigated the case will issue the notice. When this is not possible, another NMW Officer or People Leader can do this. In this situation, the person signing the notice must:
- review the case, and
- note that they have considered the evidence collected earlier by their colleague, and
- indicate the extent to which they have taken that evidence into account, and
- ensure that evidence is sufficient for them to form their own opinion on the case, and
- be satisfied that the issue of a Notice of Underpayment is appropriate.
If they do not consider the available evidence to be sufficient or think that further information is required or that gaps or discrepancies need to be further explored, then a Notice of Underpayment should not be issued at this stage, and they should arrange for the case to continue to be investigated as normal.
Corporation Tax: changes to restitution interest rules
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-28)

This measure is about changes to restitution interest rules in part 8C of the Corporation Tax Act 2010.

This measure explains that the rules which apply to restitution interest only apply to awards made at a rate of interest greater than a statutory rate. It also makes changes so that an assessment under part 8C may be made within 2 years of the end of the accounting period in which the restitution claim is finally determined, if the normal assessing time limit has expired.

The government is seeking technical feedback on the draft regulations to:
- ensure they operate as the government intends
- identify any areas which need further clarification in more detailed guidance
A technical consultation on the draft regulations runs from 28 April 2025 to 30 May 2025.

Free School Meals expansion - Impact on poverty levels
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-04)

This ad hoc analysis estimates the impact of expanding Free School Meals in England to all children on UC on poverty levels.

In June 2025, the UK government announced that, from September 2026, the eligibility criteria for Free School Meals (FSM) in England will be expanded to all children in families receiving Universal Credit. This is a key milestone in the Government’s agenda to tackle Child Poverty and ensure all children have the Best Start in Life. Full details of the former will be set out later this year in our comprehensive Child Poverty Strategy targeted at tackling the structural and root causes of Child Poverty across the country.

This publication provides estimates of the impact of the policy change on the numbers and proportions of individuals in poverty by age group in FYE 2030. It also includes information on the number of children in households in England in receipt of Universal Credit by parliamentary constituency and age.
CAPI10100 - Regulatory control procedures on importations of bananas: control
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-24)


This manual will be archived on 15 December 2025. If there is content within this manual you use regularly, email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know.

The detailed method for physical control is laid down in Regulation 2454/93, Art 290a-d and Annex 38B.

This involves the production of certificates drawn up by authorised weighers to cover all consignments of duty paid bananas, certifying the net weight of each type of box.

The control calls for the customs offices monitoring the production of these certificates to verify 5% of them.

The verification can be carried out by either attending at the time the bananas are weighed by the approved weigher or by performing a check weigh to the same standards.

Check weights should be compared to those established by the authorised weigher.

The certificate can stand if the difference between the two weights is no greater than 1%.

The customs weights must be used to draw up new certificates where this tolerance is exceeded.

Detailed guidance on the examination and sampling of bananas may be found in the Examination and Sampling Good Practice Guide, accessed via the CAP UoE Intranet site.

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

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
We also pledge the following:

Discounts for Armed Forces Community
