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 Nash Entertainment Centres 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 Nash Entertainment Centres 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:

How we should - and shouldn’t - ban extremist speech
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-17)

An essay written by Eric Heinze, part of a series of essays on defending free speech commissioned by Robin Simcox, the former Commissioner for Countering Extremism.

This essay examines how democracies should regulate extremist speech, distinguishing between different contexts and types of communication.

It argues that longstanding, stable and prosperous democracies should not ordinarily penalise speech addressed to general audiences solely on grounds of repugnant ideas expressed, whilst acknowledging that electronic platforms present greater risks requiring democratic controls.

These essays have been independently commissioned. The views and opinions expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the UK Government or the Commission for Countering Extremism.

These essays were commissioned to present a diverse range of perspectives from authors with contrasting or conflicting opinions on this issue. They are provided to contribute to this vital discussion and do not imply agreement or endorsement by any associated organisations or individuals.

Jim Carter Appointed Director General Commercial and Industry
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-01)

The National Armaments Director (NAD) Group has appointed Jim Carter as permanent Director General for Commercial and Industry (C&I) following an external competition.

Jim has been serving as interim Director General (DG) and brings extensive public and private sector experience, having served as Commercial Director for the Submarine Delivery Agency since 2020, with previous senior roles at the Cabinet Office, Network Rail, and Cable and Wireless.

The appointment comes as the NAD Group ramps up delivery of the Strategic Defence Review and Defence Reform – the biggest reforms to defence in over 50 years – alongside an industrial strategy which will make defence an engine for growth.

In this post Jim will lead on the Defence Industrial Strategy (DIS), and the transformation of the NAD Group’s Commercial & Industry area, improving industry collaboration, cutting contract times, and delivering rapid development. He leads a team of more than 2,500, across one of government’s most complex procurement environments.

Specifically, his role as Champion for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) will drive vital changes across the MOD, levelling the playing field and increasing opportunities for small businesses to thrive in the defence sector.

National Armaments Director, Rupert Pearce, said:

Jim’s appointment is excellent news. His deep commercial expertise and proven leadership will be invaluable as we implement the Defence Industrial Strategy and drive the transformation needed for our Armed Forces to have the capabilities they need.

Director General for Commercial and Industry, Jim Carter said:

It’s an exciting time to be leading our commercial experts as we forge strategic partnerships with industry - transforming UK Defence to deliver the Defence Industrial Strategy and Strategic Defence Review. It’s a privilege to lead such a committed and talented team as we work to face down the increased threats to our security.

I’m thrilled to have been appointed to deliver a new relationship with our industry partners, and look forward to working with innovators, suppliers and companies – big and small – to deliver for Defence.

Jim takes up the permanent post with immediate effect.

Background

Jim Carter has been a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS) since 2014

The appointment followed an open external competition in line with Civil Service recruitment procedures.

The NAD Group unites 27,000 personnel, integrating expertise from across the design, development and deployment of capabilities. The Group ensures platforms are more lethal, efficient and innovative, to maximise our war-fighters’ ability to deter, operate, fight and win. Learning lessons from past conflicts and allies, closer whole-defence collaboration and digitalisation are key to the Group’s ways of working.

IHTM47036 - Long-term UK residence: Spousal long-term UK residence elections – Disclosure about elections
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


The rules for spouse elections prior to 6 April 2025 can be found at IHTM13040 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm13040) – IHTM13049 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm13049).

If a person who has made an election has died, it is possible that their personal representatives may want to know whether or not a lifetime election had been made. This is because it could have a significant impact on the tax liability that arises following their death. If they cannot trace any information amongst the deceased’s papers, they may phone HMRC to find out if we have any record of an election.

You may not disclose any information about the existence of an election over the phone. Instead, you should ask the executors or personal representatives to make their request in writing and provide evidence that they are the people entitled to apply for a grant of representation.

If the executor can demonstrate that they are appointed by sending us a copy of the Will, you can disclose whether or not the person has made an election and the date that the election took effect. You can also disclose this information to administrators, provided they can demonstrate that they are applying for letters of administration, or that they are entitled to apply. You should refer any case of doubt to Technical.
RFIG50300 - Residence - other information: dual residence
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-04)


An individual can be regarded as resident in the UK and in another country under its domestic tax law (‘dual resident’).

There is a HMRC helpsheet (HS302) that explains how most DTAs resolve the question of dual residence and how liability to UK tax can be affected by the outcome. Since not all DTAs are the same, it is essential when considering whether any relief from UK tax may be due, to look at the text of the particular agreement concerned, as they vary from agreement to agreement.

If such an individual claims relief from UK tax refer to INTM154010 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm154010).

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 360 Ambulance Service 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

2.1 360 Ambulance Service 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
- 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.

Comparing national enabling environments for volunteering
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-03)

This research examines differences in the enabling environments that exist to support volunteering in different national contexts.

This research was conducted by a consortium led by Basis Social alongside London Economics and New Philanthropy Capital, as part of the Volunteering Research Managed Service (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/volunteering-research-managed-service-2022-2024).

The research compares the enabling environments for volunteering in England to that in Scotland, Wales, Australia and the Republic of Ireland in order to identify potential policies and interventions to support England’s national enabling environment.

Key findings include:

Locally-led approaches within the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector can improve efficiency and outcomes in the short and longer-term. Using the knowledge and networks of local organisations helps new initiatives to function effectively. Recognising the importance of place in people’s motivations to volunteer is a route to retaining volunteers who want to support their communities.

There is valuable data available on volunteering, but it is not accessible to all organisations, and this may disguise evidence gaps. Existing (and future) data on volunteering needs to be made accessible to all interested parties.

The language used to describe volunteering could be updated to help broaden its appeal. Using language that better reflects how volunteers themselves perceive their role, such as ‘helping out’ instead of ‘volunteering’ can make it feel more inclusive.
