Source: gov.uk (2025-11-10)

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 Merris Consulting 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 Merris Consulting 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.
CH258100 - How to do a compliance check: using inspection powers: invigilation: overview
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-05)


This page and chapter are under review as the relevant content is also published in the technical guidance chapters of the Compliance Handbook (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook), within Compliance checks factsheets (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hm-revenue-and-customs-compliance-checks-factsheets) and in Compliance checks guidance (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hmrc-compliance-checks-help-and-support). If you use particular pages regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know the specific content you find useful.

What is invigilation?

If, having identified yourself to the customer as an HMRC officer, you wish to remain on a customer’s premises for an extended period of time to observe the business activities, you will be carrying out invigilation.

If you do not identify yourself to the customer as an HMRC officer and you remain on a customer’s premises for an extended period of time to observe the business activities, you will be carrying out covert activity and must follow the guidance at CH207500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch207500).

Examples of invigilation

Examples of invigilation include:
- entering the business premises specifically to record numbers of customers, observed over an extended period of time
- extending the inspection of premises, business assets and business documents that are on the premises, specifically for the purpose of observing the numbers of customers
The above examples are not exclusive and there may be other types of invigilation you may wish to carry out.

What is the purpose of invigilation?

Invigilation is a way to quantify suppressed takings in businesses with a defined and predictable pattern of declarations. It is particularly useful when sales ratios can be tested. For example, the split between:
- cash and credit or debit card sales
- zero and standard rated sales
For further guidance on when and how to use invigilation, see CH258200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch258200).

Upper Tribunal Administrative Appeals Chamber decision by Judge Church on 14 January 2025

Judicial Summary

In this appeal the Upper Tribunal considers the Universal Credit Regulations 2013 (“UC Regulations”) and the Social Security (Medical Evidence) Regulations 1976 (“Medical Evidence Regulations”) and decides that: a. regulation 28(2)(b) of the UC Regulations does not preclude a self-certification from starting the 3-month waiting period before a claimant may be entitled to the LCWRA element of Universal Credit, b. it was “unreasonable” (for the purposes of regulation 2(1A) of the Medical Evidence Regulations) for the Secretary of State to require the Claimant to provide a medical certificate in accordance with Part I of Schedule 1 to the Medical Evidence Regulations in circumstances where she had made a note in her UC journal asking whether she needed to provide a medical certificate given that she was unavailable for work because of her responsibilities as a carer to her disabled daughter and that query had gone unanswered, c. the Claimant’s report that she was suffering from health problems that affected her ability to work and was in receipt of PIP, together with the Fit Note she provided on 24 February 2022 (speaking to the period from 14 April 2021) amounted to “such other evidence as may be sufficient to show that [the Claimant was] incapable of work or [had] limited capability for work so that [she] should refrain… from work by reason of some specific disease or bodily disablement or mental disability” for the purposes of regulation 2(1A) of the Medical Evidence Regulations. The ‘backdated’ Fit Note served to ‘bridge the gap’ between the Claimant’s initial self-certification and the date on which the Fit Note was provided. The FtT Decision is re-made, allowing the appeal, setting aside the Secretary of State’s decision, and deciding that the “relevant period” for the purposes of regulation 28 of the UC Regulations commenced on 17 April 2021 (and not 24 February 2022, as previously decided).

Regulatory fees for British chemicals sector slashed
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-01)

New legislation to cut UK REACH costs for chemical businesses comes into force as part of Government’s Plan for Change

New legislation coming into force today (Tuesday 1 April) will slash regulatory burdens on the chemicals industry – saving businesses £40 million over the next six years.

The move as part of the Government’s Plan for Change means nearly all current fees and charges for chemical businesses are going down. Changes are expected to lead to a total reduction of costs by £40 million for businesses across the next six years – from 2025/26 to 2030/31.

Included in the changes is a new standard registration fee of £2,222, which will mean a significant reduction to the cost of registration for 92% of firms. Alongside this, the continuation of the small and medium enterprise discounts and a reduction in legal identity changes will ensure the chemicals industry is fairly regulated and remains competitive.

This will relieve the UK’s chemicals industry of unnecessary cost burdens, create conditions for them to invest in new infrastructure and delivering growth for the sector.

Environment Minister Emma Hardy said:

The UK chemicals sector is world-leading but has faced a range of challenges in recent years, including high regulatory costs.

As part of Plan for Change, we’re reducing UK REACH fees by £40 million over the next six years, helping businesses continue to deliver growth in this vital sector.

UK REACH is the regulatory regime that applies to many chemical substances that are manufactured or imported into the Great Britain. It exists to provide a high level of protection of human health and the environment when chemicals are used.

To ensure UK REACH is enforced effectively, chemical businesses pay fees to recover the cost of the services provided. The new charges will ensure businesses pay for what they get.

The Government is committed to protecting human health and the environment from the risks posed by chemicals. This includes reshaping the UK REACH Work Programme in future years to ensure it delivers the Government’s ambitions, while also setting out a clear direction of travel to support businesses and the chemicals industry, taking account of UK REACH’s relationship with regulation in the EU.

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 Media Savvy Training Solutions CIC 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

- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists

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.

PM statement on British Steel: 12 April 2025

Prime Minister Keir Starmer's statement on British Steel this afternoon.

Today, my government has stepped in to save British Steel. We are acting to protect the jobs of thousands of workers, and all options are on the table to secure the future of the industry. Delivering security and renewal for working people is at the heart of my Plan for Change.

This government is turning the page on a decade of decline, where our manufacturing heartlands were hollowed out by the previous government.

In recent weeks alone, we have announced the expansion of Heathrow airport and the building of the biggest theme park in Europe in Bedford. We are reforming our planning rules to build 1.5 million homes, and the infrastructure the nation desperately needs. New roads, railways, schools, hospitals, grids and reservoirs. British steel will be the backbone as we get Britain building once more.

This is a government of industry. That’s why we’ve secured a better deal for the workers of Port Talbot. It’s why we fought to secure the future of Harland & Wolff. It’s why we’ve pledged £200 million to Grangemouth. Our industry is the pride of our history – and I want it to be our future too.

A secure future. A Britain rebuilt with British steel, in the national interest.

Summary - Distinguishing Aedes albopictus, the Asian Tiger mosquito, from native British mosquitoes
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-06)

False reports of possible Asian Tiger mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus) have been received by MEZE. This page outlines differences between this species and similar native species.

Summary

The UK has recorded 36 species of mosquito, some of which bite humans and can be a nuisance. The Tiger mosquito is a small black-and-white mosquito, and easy to recognise, and has a back scutum (body) with a white stripe on its back, and has plain wings with no markings or spots.

There are 3 native species of mosquito that are sometimes confused with Aedes albopictus
- Culiseta annulata
- Aedes geniculatus
- Culex pipiens s.l./ Culex torrentium
The most likely reasons why many people confuse these 2 mosquito species for the Asian Tiger mosquito are:
- Cs. annulata is large and has very distinctive and boldly striped legs similar to Ae. albopictus
- Ae. geniculatus has very white scales on a black body similar to Ae. albopictus
There are 3 important differences between Cs. annulata and Ae. albopictus:
- although both species have legs that have rings of white scales which give a banded appearance, Cs. annulata is much larger than Ae. albopictus with a wing span 13 to 15 mm, compared to 7 to 8 mm,
- Cs. annulata also have clusters of scales on their wings which make them look spotted; this does not occur on the wings of Ae. albopictus,
- the thorax of Ae. albopictus has a single white central line from front to back; this does not occur on Cs. Annulata.
There are 2 important differences between Ae. geniculatus and Ae. albopictus:
- the bright white scales on a black body of Ae. albopictus can also be confused with similar bright white scales on Ae. geniculatus; however, the latter differs in that tarsi on the legs are not banded, except for a white tip to the femurs (appearing as white ‘knees’)
- the thorax on Ae. geniculatus has many white lines, and not just a central line as in Ae. albopictus
