Review of CQC Regulation 9A: visiting and accompanying in care homes, hospitals and hospices (easy read)
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-15)

We want to hear your views about the new rules on visiting care homes, hospitals and hospices. Your views will help the government to decide if the rules are working or if they could be better.

Last year, the government made some new rules to make sure that everyone who is in a care home, hospital or hospice can have people visit them.

Your answers to the questions in this survey will help the government to know whether the new rules have worked, or if the rules could be better.

In this call for evidence, we refer to care homes, hospitals and hospices as ‘care services’.

This call for evidence is for:
- people who use care services
- carers
- people who visit care services
- people who work for care services
- organisations representing any of the people above
Your answers need to be about care services in England.

Follow the ‘Respond online’ link in the ‘Ways to respond’ box below to tell us your ideas.

Or you can print the survey and post your answers to:

The Prime Minister welcomed President Zelenskyy to Downing Street this afternoon.

The Prime Minister began by sharing his condolences with President Zelenskyy on the deaths of five Ukrainians following Russian strikes overnight.

Looking ahead to the upcoming NATO Summit in The Hague, the leaders welcomed the Secretary General’s focus on the Alliance’s steadfast support, including through significant pledges of financial support from Allies.

The Prime Minister reiterated the importance of ensuring Ukraine’s Armed Forces had the defensive equipment they needed to push back Russian forces, while also working towards a just and lasting peace.

Discussing how the UK and Ukraine could go further on military cooperation, the leaders discussed opportunities to expand industrial collaboration between defence companies in both countries.

Turning to Coalition of the Willing planning, the leaders agreed the grouping should convene virtually in the coming weeks to update members on next steps.

Both looked forward to seeing one another again at The Hague Summit tomorrow.

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 Vital Energi 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 Vital Energi 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
- Discounts
- 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.

VATRESNI6200 - Assurance at the retailers: Checks on the Direct Reclaim system
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-05)


Evidence for deduction of input tax

Refund companies operating a direct reclaim system will need invoices from retailers to support their claim for deduction of input tax (VATRESNI3650). If a full VAT invoice is not produced by the retailer, refund companies use a variation of the official version of the VAT407(NI) as their purchase invoice. These invoices will take the form of one of the copies (identified as “RETAILER COPY”) from a multi-part VAT407(NI) and must include all the information required on the official version of the VAT 407(NI). For input tax purposes it is particularly important that it contains the retailer’s VAT registration number. This is essential to verify that:
- the retailer is VAT registered, and
- VAT was included in the price paid by the overseas customer for the goods supplied by the retailer to the refund company.
Failure to produce acceptable evidence should result in input tax being disallowed and an assessment being issued.

Accounting for output tax

You should also check that the retailer has accounted for the output tax on the business-to- business sale to the refund company and has not subsequently zero-rated the sale as an export under VAT retail export scheme.

Estimates of unfulfilled eligibility levels in the benefit system in Great Britain

These statistical reports provide estimates of unfulfilled eligibility for benefits administered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and local authorities.

Accompanying each estimate report, we also publish data tables that provide the user with detailed estimates by different types of unfulfilled eligibility.

Please email us for feedback or more information: xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx)

Changes to the latest release

The following changes are minor updates and corrections following a full methodological review. These changes have not impacted the global Unfulfilled Eligibility estimates. Financial Year Ending (FYE) 2024 published figures have been restated to reflect these changes and allow for accurate comparisons to be made.

Further detail on these changes have been included in the Background Information and Methodology note published alongside the Unfulfilled eligibility in the benefit system: financial year 2024 to 2025 estimates (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/announcements/unfulfilled-eligibility-in-the-benefit-system-financial-year-2024-to-2025-estimates--2).

Correction to incorrectness figures FYE 2024

In the FYE 2024 release, Unfulfilled Eligibility was incorrectly excluded from a subset of cannot review cases which understated the overall incorrectness figures. FYE 2024 figures have been re-stated.

Changes to New Case Factors

In the FYE 2024 benefit review process, the payment (and period) that the Official Error and the Claimant Error/Fraud/Unfulfilled Eligibility check was carried out on was aligned for all benefits. To reflect this change, the New Case Factors have been aligned so that there is no difference to how they are carried out for Official Error and for Claimant Error/Fraud/Unfulfilled Eligibility.

Living Together Unfulfilled Eligibility Adjustments

Living together Unfulfilled Eligibility is calculated by comparing the amount of benefit the claimant and the partner were getting before the review, to the amount they are eligible for post review. Where the claimant and the partner were on the same benefit, the claimant’s proportion of the start award have been used to more accurately calculate the value of Unfulfilled Eligibility attributable to the claimant.

Error Code Framework Adjustments

Following the annual review of the Error Code Framework there have been a small number of changes to the mapping of unfulfilled eligibility reasons to publication categories.

Third business rates agent suspended
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-28)

VOA continues its investigation into potential breaches of its standards.

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) has temporarily suspended business rates agent Rate Masters Limited (trading as ‘My Rates’). This is while we investigate a potential serious breach of our agent standards.

The suspension means we will not work with, or accept any information from My Rates while we investigate the potential breach.

We have written to affected customers. We cannot comment further while we investigate.

This action follows the temporary suspension of Rateable Value Experts and Re-Rates UK (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/temporary-suspension-of-business-rates-agents?utm_medium=gov.uk&utm_source=newsitem&utm_campaign=agentstandards&utm_term=breach2) on 2 January 2025.

We are aware of another business called Rerate. This is a different business. It is not affected by a temporary suspension and is not being investigated by the VOA.

Our VOA agent standards (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/voa-agent-standards?utm_medium=gov.uk&utm_source=newsitem&utm_campaign=agentstandards&utm_term=breach2) set out clear expectations for agents regarding:

their behaviour

their professional practice

the service they provide to their customers

We take breaches of our agent standards very seriously. We will always take action if we substantiate a breach of the standards.

You should be cautious of any agent who:

tries to pressure you to make a decision or sign a contract

says they are acting on behalf of the VOA or forwards emails they claim are from the VOA

demands large sums of money up front

makes claims about ‘unclaimed credits’ or similar

Remember – you don’t have to use an agent to manage your business rates.

You can challenge your rateable value through our online service (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-and-challenge-your-business-rates-valuation-step-by-step). This service is free to use.

If you want an agent to manage your business rates, use our checklist to choose an agent (https://valuationoffice.blog.gov.uk/2024/04/11/how-to-choose-a-business-rates-agent/). Don’t let an agent choose you.

We also have guidance on staying safe from scammers (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/staying-safe-from-scammers).

We collect evidence of poor agent behaviour and practices in the course of our work. This evidence allows us to proactively address issues or concerns.

If you are concerned about poor behaviour by agents, send any evidence to xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

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 PMB Battery Technologies UK 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 PMB Battery Technologies UK 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
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.

Exporting nuclear and related goods to India
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-07)

Explains UK government policy towards civil nuclear exports to India and how we assess export licence applications.

Export licensing policy for India

The UK’s policy concerning civil nuclear exports to India is in line with the UK’s Nuclear Supplier Group (NSG) (https://www.nuclearsuppliersgroup.org/en/) commitments.

The UK government reviewed its policy towards nuclear-related exports to India (https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2008-11-10/debates/xx-xxxx-xxxx/UKNuclearTradePolicy(India)) following the 2008 statement on civil nuclear co-operation with India by the NSG (https://www.iaea.org/publications/documents/infcircs/communication-dated-10-september-2008-received-permanent-mission-germany-agency-regarding-statement-civil-nuclear-cooperation-india). This provides an exception from the NSG guidelines for exports to civil nuclear facilities in India that are safeguarded by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

In 2010, the UK and India signed a Civil Nuclear Co-operation Declaration. The licensing policy to India was reviewed in 2010 in the Written Ministerial Statement by Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Alistair Burt (https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2010-11-29/debates/1011294000012/UKCivilNuclearTradePolicy(India)).

Apply for an export licence to India

Apply for a standard individual export licence (SIEL) (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-to-export-controlled-goods) to export nuclear and related goods to India.

How we assess applications

All licence applications are assessed on a on a case-by-case basis against the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria (https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2021-12-08/hcws449).
