The Prime Minister spoke to the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau this afternoon.

The leaders began by reflecting on the close and historic relationship between the UK and Canada. From global security to clean energy and growth, they agreed on the importance of shared values between the two nations.

Discussing recent global events, the Prime Minister said he welcomed an international conversation on the importance of trade and collaboration between allies and partners. The Prime Minister also paid tribute to Prime Minister Trudeau’s leadership, including his focus on stemming the deadly drug trade across Canada’s borders.

The leaders also discussed the strong trading relationship between the UK and Canada, worth £26 billion, and how together both countries could go further to support growth and deliver for the hardworking Canadian and British people.

As the third-year anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine approaches, both leaders underlined their commitment to ensuring Ukraine is in the strongest possible position.

On Syria, they agreed on the necessity of a political transition process leading to an inclusive, non-sectarian and representative government.

They looked forward to speaking soon.

CTM15270 - Distributions: general: dividend waivers and application of the settlements legislation
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-24)


ITTOIA05/S624

Trusts Technical would like to see certain cases where a person has waived a right to a dividend so that another shareholder may benefit. In such cases, HMRC argues that the person making the waiver has indirectly provided funds for an ‘arrangement’ or ‘settlement’, and that the settlements legislation at ITTOIA05/PART5/CHAPTER5 may apply.

This legislation only applies where the arrangement contains an 'element of bounty'. In the case of dividend waivers, the person making the waiver will be giving up a sum to which they are, or may become, entitled, and the bounty will be represented by the enhanced part of the dividend received by the non-waiving shareholders.

Not all dividend waivers are vulnerable to challenge, and there is guidance at TSEM4225 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/trusts-settlements-and-estates-manual/tsem4225) on the factors that would indicate that the settlements legislation is likely to apply.

Any case showing a factor listed at TSEM4225 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/trusts-settlements-and-estates-manual/tsem4225) should be referred to Trusts Technical for advice. See TSEM11100.

MCA customer process for alternative fuels - ammonia
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-16)

An overview of the advantages, challenges, regulations and guidance associated with using ammonia as fuel.

Anhydrous Ammonia (Ammonia - NH3) is a light, toxic and colourless gas. Due to the chemical composition of the fuel, NH3 is considered a zero-carbon fuel with no carbon in the chemical molecule. It does have toxicity and flammability issues which require special handling for storage and transport. The fuel has been used in industrial sectors and is transported in the maritime field as a cargo.

For vessels above 500GT, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) currently regulates vessels carrying ammonia as cargo under the International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code). The MCA also works with operators and Classification Societies to regulate vessels using ammonia as a marine fuel, under the IMO’s interim guidelines as published as part of the International Code of Safety for Ships using Gases or other Low-flashpoint Fuels (IGF Code). These are applicable through the use of the alternative design arrangement. For smaller vessels using ammonia as fuel, no prescriptive regulations currently exist and are considered on a case-by-case basis, guided by experts from MCA’s Technical Operations, Regulation and Standards and Seafarer Technical Delivery teams.

Key contacts

Any existing customers wishing to build or convert a vessel to operate using ammonia as fuel are encouraged, in the first instance, to contact their MCA Customer Service Manager who will be able to advise further on the process and where necessary set up a meeting with MCA subject matter leads to discuss the proposals in detail.

New customers or those without a Customer Service Manager should contact: xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx)

We encourage the Syrian government to continue to prioritise women’s meaningful participation in the political transition and ensure a representative and inclusive political process: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-17)

Statement by Ambassador Barbara Woodward, UK Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on Syria.

The Syrian government has made progress in seeking to foster genuine national reconciliation and in laying the foundations for state institutions that work for, and represent all of Syria.

This includes recent steps towards holding indirect elections for the People’s Assembly and the efforts of the Supreme Electoral Committee to consult across Syria and guarantee at least 20% of electors are female.

We encourage the Government to continue to prioritise women’s meaningful participation in the political transition, and to use this opportunity to take further steps to ensure a representative and inclusive political process.

We also encourage further concrete progress in the negotiations between the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Syrian Government to build towards a unified and more secure Syria.

We reiterate our call on Israel to refrain from actions that risk destabilising Syria and to respect Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The UK welcomes ongoing engagement between Syria and Israel. Dialogue and diplomacy, not military action, will help achieve a more peaceful future for both countries and for the region.

We acknowledge the progress made on aid access in Suwayda which USG Feltcher described for us, but call on all parties to focus on a solution for peace. 180,000 people remain displaced in southern Syria, with significant humanitarian needs.

We urge prioritising the restoration of critical infrastructure, such as water and electricity, as soon as possible.

Likewise, as the new school year starts, we urge the government to assist those displaced to return home so that children can continue their schooling at this critical moment.

We welcome the efforts of Syria, Jordan and the United States in developing a roadmap to address the crisis in Suwayda and stabilise Southern Syria.

Next week will see the historic visit of President Al Shara’a to the United Nations, where we look forward to hearing more details on his vision for a secure and prosperous Syria that delivers for the rights and needs of all Syrians.

We reiterate the importance of this Council taking the necessary measures to bolster Syria’s economy, including reforming UN sanctions.

The UN can also play a crucial role in supporting Syria’s transition, and in this regard, we look forward to hearing from the Secretary General on his recommendations for the UN’s future role and footprint in Syria.

Targeted maintenance grants for students to be reintroduced
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-28)

Disadvantaged students studying priority courses will benefit from extra financial support to access and excel in higher education.

Students from some of the country’s lowest income households will benefit from the return of targeted, means-tested maintenance grants for higher education – at college or University – paid for by a new levy on international student fees.

As part of the government’s Plan for Change, the reintroduction of these grants will help remove barriers to opportunity and ensure that disadvantaged students are better supported to succeed.

The move follows a 20% real-terms decline in the value of maintenance loans over the past 5 years, leaving many students struggling to meet the rising cost of living.

Maintenance grants – abolished in 2016 – are now being reintroduced in a targeted, means-tested format. These grants will offer vital financial support to eligible students from low-income households, helping to ensure that cost is not a barrier to accessing higher education.

The grants will support students on priority courses aligned with the government’s missions and the industrial strategy at Levels 4 to 6 under the lifelong learning entitlement (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/lifelong-learning-entitlement-lle-overview), including technical qualifications and degrees.

This will maintain a competitive offer for international students while ensuring the benefits are shared more visibly at home, directly benefiting disadvantaged domestic students. The international student levy will apply to England only.

Targeted maintenance grants for students from low-income households studying on priority courses will be reintroduced by the end of the Parliament. Further details on both targeted maintenance grants and the international students levy will be set out at the Autumn Budget.

Further plans for higher education reform will be announced soon, as part of the post 16 education and skills white paper.

Accept a reasonable recharge regime

Where a group service company incurs management expenses such as a central payroll, you may accept their being recharged to group members on a reasonable basis such as by reference to the number of employees in each company. In effect, each company will then bear the proportion of expenses which relates to its own trade. You should normally only investigate such arrangements where one company incurs the expenditure for the purposes of another that is outside the scope of UK tax.

The transfer-pricing code can be found in Part 4 TIOPA 2010.

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.

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 Environtec 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;

AAIB investigation to Tekever AR3, (UAS reg n/a)
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-14)

Loss of control, Aberporth Airport, Cardiganshire, 19 March 2025

The UA was operating a daylight VLoS training flight from Aberporth Airport at a height of up to 400 ft in benign weather. Having been airborne for 19 minutes, the UA suddenly pitched down and banked sharply. It struck the ground, within the airport boundary, and a small lithium battery fire ensued which was quickly put out by the airport’s fire service.

The manufacturer’s safety department concluded that the most probable cause of the accident was the failure of a flight control servo. At the time of this accident, the commands received from the Ground Control System and the demands made to flight control servos were recorded but the actual positions that the servos then achieved were not. The manufacturer stated that it intends to modify the UAS to record a feedback signal for all flight control servos.

Stafford fishing licence dodger prosecuted
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-15)

Fishing without a licence has cost an angler from Stafford a fine of £220 plus £836.50 costs and a victim surcharge of £88.

- Angler appealed his original case and was found guilty in absence at the second hearing
- Fisheries enforcement officers clamp down on illegal angling to protect fish stocks and make fishing sustainable
John Smith from Stafford has been found guilty in absence at Cannock Magistrates Court of fishing without a licence in a case brought by the Environment Agency on Monday 16 December 2024.

The case was originally proved in absence on 30 August 2023. John Smith applied to have the case re-opened by Statutory Declaration and submitted a Not Guilty Plea. The defendant did not attend the trial, and the case was proved in absence.

John Smith, 60, of Young Avenue, Stafford was found guilty of fishing without a licence at Chorley Springs, Burntwood, Staffordshire on 23 April 2023. He was fined £220 and ordered to pay costs of £836.50 and a victim surcharge of £88.

A spokesperson for the Environment Agency said:

We hope the penalty this illegal angler has received will act as a deterrent to anyone who is thinking of breaking the laws we have in place across England.

Fishing illegally can incur a fine of up to £2,500 and offenders can also have their fishing equipment seized. We inspect rod licences 24/7, seven days a week to check on cases of illegal fishing and for those caught cheating the system, we will always prosecute.

Illegal fishing undermines the Environment Agency’s efforts to protect fish stocks and make fishing sustainable. Money raised from fishing licence sales is used to protect and improve fish stocks and fisheries for the benefit of legal anglers.

Any angler aged 13 or over, fishing on a river, canal or still water needs a licence to fish. A 1-day licence costs from just £7.10, and an annual licence costs from £35.80 (concessions available). Junior licences are free for 13 - 16-year-olds.

Licences are available from www.gov.uk/get-a-fishing-licence (https://www.gov.uk/fishing-licences) or by calling the Environment Agency on xx-xxxx-xxxx between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Friday.

The Environment Agency carries out enforcement work all year round and is supported by partners including the police and the Angling Trust. Fisheries enforcement work is intelligence-led, targeting known hot-spots and where illegal fishing is reported.

Anyone with information about illegal fishing activities can contact the Environment Agency incident hotline 24/7 on xx-xxxx-xxxx or anonymously to Crimestoppers on xx-xxxx-xxxx.

Background

John Smith was charged with the following offence:

On the 23rd day of April 2023 at Chorley Springs, Burntwood, in a place where fishing is regulated, fished for freshwater fish or eels by means of an unlicensed fishing instrument, namely rod and line. Contrary to Section 27(1)(a) of the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act 1975.
Multi partner action taken at skip company in Southport
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-18)

Joint day of action at Johnson’s Scrap Metal Ltd in Southport. The company’s environmental permit was revoked and it is required to clear the waste.

The Environment Agency has joined forces with partners to take enforcement action at a skip company in Southport.

To protect the environment from harm, the Agency revoked the waste permit for Johnson’s Scrap Metal Ltd on 17 January 2025, for its site at Crowland Street at Crowland Industrial Estate in Southport.

The revocation means that Johnson’s Scrap Metal Ltd, trading under Johnson’s Skip Hire, is no longer able to carry out any form of waste operations, including accepting or processing waste.

As part of the permit revocation the operator is also required to clear the site of all waste.

Environment Agency investigations have suggested that the company has continued to operate.

They visited the site last week with Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service, Sefton Council and Merseyside Police.

Tough Action

A spokesperson for the Environment Agency said:

Our priority is to protect the environment and communities from illegal waste activity and we will take tough action when operators flout the law.

Effective regulation is vital and those who operate outside the law undercut legitimate businesses. We expect businesses to take responsibility for their operations and protect the environment.

Cllr Peter Harvey, Cabinet Member for Street Scene and Cleansing at Sefton Council, added:

This action demonstrates how Sefton Council will stand alongside our partners, such as the Environment Agency, to protect our residents and our environment from rogue waste operators.

Members of the public and businesses in the area should be aware that it is now a criminal offence to send their waste to Johnson’s Skip Hire Ltd at Crowland Street in Southport.

Anyone who spots waste crime in their area should report it anonymously to Crimestoppers on xx-xxxx-xxxx or call the Environment Agency’s incident hotline on xx-xxxx-xxxx.
