UN Human Rights Council 59: UK Statement for the Interactive Dialogue with the High Commissioner on his Annual Report
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-17)

UK Statement for the Interactive Dialogue with the High Commissioner on his Annual Report. Delivered by the UK's Permanent Representative to the WTO and UN, Simon Manley.

Thank you, Mr President.

High Commissioner.

We agree that we must protect human rights as a core UN function and support your efforts - through UN80 - to make the Organisation fit-for-purpose. The world’s human rights challenges demand a modern, agile United Nations.

In Gaza, the humanitarian situation is indeed catastrophic and the Israeli aid model inhumane. We condemn Hamas, and call for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, the immediate resumption of unhindered aid at scale and progress towards a two-state solution. In the West Bank, the Israeli Government must stop the expansion of illegal settlements and hold violent settlers to account.

High Commissioner,

Three years after the publication of your office’s assessment on Xinjiang, China has, sadly, failed to implement its recommendations. We urge China to end its violations in both Xinjiang and Tibet, and to allow unfettered access by independent observers.

You rightly drew our attention to Sudan’s further descent into chaos marked by indiscriminate attacks, sexual violence, and malnutrition, with 11 million people internally displaced. We condemn the atrocities and call for the perpetrators to be held to account. Sudan must not - will not - be forgotten.

Last but not least, as we made clear yesterday afternoon, we share your concern at the horrific situation in the eastern DRC. It’s well beyond time to end the extrajudicial killings, the enforced disappearances, the sexual violence and the child recruitment.

Thank you.

Ask for a review or appeal against a trust penalty charge
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-15)

Ask for a review of a penalty charge for not registering or maintaining a trust, or appeal against a penalty decision.

If HMRC decide that you have deliberately failed to register a trust, or failed to keep the details of a trust up to date, we may charge you a fixed penalty of £5,000.

Find out how to pay a penalty charge for not registering or maintaining a trust (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pay-a-penalty-charge-for-not-registering-or-maintaining-a-trust).

If you do not agree with a penalty charge, you can:
- ask us to review our decision
- make an appeal to a tribunal against a decision
Requesting a review of a penalty

If you disagree with the penalty charge, you can ask for a review by writing to us at:

HMRC Legal GroupHM Revenue and CustomsBX9 1ZT

You can also email us at: xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

Your request must reach us within 30 days of the date we issue the penalty letter.

You must include:
- your name, as shown at the top of the penalty letter
- all references used at the top of the penalty letter, for example the 14-digit reference number
- the name of the HMRC officer or team named at the end of the penalty letter
What happens next

HMRC will review your case and send you a reply. This will normally be within 45 days of when we receive your request for a review.

If we agree with the original penalty decision, we will explain why we have decided to uphold it.

If we disagree with the original decision, we will cancel the penalty. If you have already paid the penalty, we will send you a refund.

Appealing against a penalty

If you do not want to ask HMRC for a review, or you do not agree with the outcome of our review, you can appeal to a tribunal.

Your request must reach HM Courts and Tribunals Service within 30 days of the date we send you the penalty decision letter.

If we have reviewed your case and you still want to appeal, your request must reach HM Courts and Tribunals Service within 30 days of the date we send you the letter that tells you the outcome of the review.

If you appeal to HM Courts and Tribunals Service, you must include a copy of the penalty letter or review decision that you want to appeal against. If you do not, they may reject your appeal.

Find out how to appeal to the tax tribunal (https://www.gov.uk/tax-tribunal).

Paying a penalty during a review or appeal

HMRC will not take action to collect any penalty from you while we are reviewing the penalty decision. We can still take action to collect payments while you are appealing against a decision.

Energy suppliers have received and distributed funding to support non-domestic electricity and gas customers in Great Britain (GB) and Northern Ireland (NI).

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has collected information about the payments made under the Energy Bill Relief Scheme (EBRS) in Great Britain (GB) and Northern Ireland (NI). Electricity and gas suppliers were asked to provide data on the discounts provided to eligible non-domestic customers from 1 October 2022, in order to claim payment.

The spreadsheet shows the total amount of money, as well as the net increase in each claim window, that has been paid to electricity and gas suppliers for discounts provided to non-domestic customers. It also shows the corresponding volumes of discounted electricity and gas consumption, as well as the number of contracts supported in each claim window.

The data are presented by:
- scheme – Great Britain and Northern Ireland
- fuel type – electricity and gas

Consultation on the International Council for Harmonisation ICH E6 (R3) Guideline for Good Clinical Practice Annex-2
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-12)

The ICH Expert Working Group for ICH E6(R3) (EWG) has been updating the ICH E6(R2) GCP guideline. The MHRA represents the Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PIC/s) in the EWG.

The update of ICH E6 is to address the application of GCP to new trial designs, technological innovations and to strengthen a proportionate risk-based approach of its application for clinical trials of medicines to support regulatory and healthcare decision making.

This was set out in the ICH Reflection paper on Renovation of Good Clinical Practice (https://admin.ich.org/sites/default/files/2021-05/ICH_ReflectionPaper_GCPRenovation_2021_0519.pdf) and the ICH E6(R3) Concept Paper (https://database.ich.org/sites/default/files/E6-R3_FinalConceptPaper_2019_1117.pdf) and a Business Plan (https://database.ich.org/sites/default/files/E6-R3_FinalBusinessPlan_2019_1117.pdf) was developed.

ICH E6(R3) has been restructured and is composed of an overarching principles section, Annex 1 (interventional clinical trials), Annex 2 (additional considerations for non-traditional interventional clinical trials), Glossary and Appendices.

The overarching principles, Annex 1, Glossary and Appendices will replace the current E6(R2) and were released for public consultation by ICH in May 2023.

The Annex 2 concept paper (https://database.ich.org/sites/default/files/ICH_E6%28R3%29_Annex2_ConceptPaper_2023_0405.pdf) was endorsed by the ICH Management Committee on 28 April 2023 and was published on the ICH website.

Annex 2 (https://database.ich.org/sites/default/files/ICH_E6%28R3%29_Annex%202_Step2_DraftGuideline_2024_1024_0.pdf) has now reached Step 2b and is available for public consultation.

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 Recruitment Solutions Workforce 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;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Recruitment Solutions Workforce Limited 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.

Local Industrial Decarbonisation Plans competition: winning projects

The Local Industrial Decarbonisation Plans (LIDP) competition provided up to £6 million for dispersed industrial clusters to develop decarbonisation plans.

Update: 3 June 2025

Thirteen projects were successful in securing a portion of the grant funding available and projects commenced work in January 2024.

Projects have completed their work and are producing reports to inform their ongoing work on industrial decarbonisation (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-industrial-decarbonisation-plans-competition/local-industrial-decarbonisation-plans-competition-winning-projects).

The Local Industrial Decarbonisation Plans (LIDP) competition, run by government in partnership with Innovate UK (IUK), provided up to £6 million in grant funding to support dispersed industrial manufacturers not located in the UK’s existing industrial clusters to decarbonise and reduce their emissions. The competitive grant funding supported the advancement of place-based decarbonisation plans that demonstrate collaboration between closely located industrial businesses, and other stakeholders.

The LIDP competition ran from 5 June to 2 August 2023.

CTM18470 - Shadow ACT: accounting periods to which the Regulations apply: group members
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-31)


The regime for companies that are members of a group is essentially the same as that for single companies except that the focus is on the group. An opt out made by the parent company of a group affects all the companies in that group. In the absence of an opt out, the regulations will continue to apply to all the group members until none has any unrelieved surplus ACT available for set off.A company may be a member of more than one group. Each group must be considered separately. A company could have no unrelieved surplus ACT but be a member of a group of which another member does have. It could also be a member of another group of which none of the members has any unrelieved surplus ACT. The regulations would apply to the company in its capacity as a member of the first group but not as a member of the second nor to any of the other members of the second group. A company's membership of each group is to be considered separately. Where a company is a member of two groups and the regulations apply to both, any shadow ACT allocated to a company in its capacity as a member of one group will affect its capacity to absorb shadow ACT generated in the other. The only other read across is where a company loses the right to set its unrelieved surplus ACT against its CT liability as a consequence of an opt out notification it made or one made by the parent company of a group of which it is or was a member. In such circumstances, its unrelieved surplus ACT is not available to it in its capacity as a member of any group or other group.

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 Burton & South Derbyshire College 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 Burton & South Derbyshire College 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
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
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.

Education Secretary sets timeline for RAAC removal in schools
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-28)

Bridget Phillipson wants all schools and colleges to be RAAC-free as she sets timelines for complete removal.

Every single child in England to be learning in classrooms free from RAAC as the Education Secretary sets out timelines for removing Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) from all schools and colleges- calling time on the crumbling school estate.

The government is rebuilding pride in our education system, setting out plans to permanently remove the dangerous concrete from all schools and colleges with RAAC, except those in the School Rebuilding Programme, ahead of the next general election.

For schools with RAAC being rebuilt through the School Rebuilding Programme (SRP), all will be in delivery in the same timeframe, with more than half already underway.

The move, part of the government’s plans for national renewal, will help break down barriers to opportunity by removing RAAC for good, with more than 42,000 pupils already learning in RAAC free classrooms.

Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson, said:

We inherited a crumbling education estate, but I won’t let that be our legacy.

After years of neglect we are giving every child a safe and high-quality classroom where they can focus on learning - by setting clear timelines for the permanent removal of RAAC from schools and colleges. It’s what parents expect, it’s what children deserve and it’s what we are delivering.

It’s about more than just buildings - it’s about showing children that their education matters, their futures matter, and this government is determined to give them the best possible start in life.

There are over 22,000 schools and colleges in England and 237 had confirmed RAAC, all of which are providing full time face-to-face education for all pupils. One hundred and twenty three schools with RAAC will be rebuilt through the School Rebuilding Programme and 108 schools and colleges are getting government grants for RAAC removal, with works delivered through their responsible body – usually the local authority or Trust. Six schools and colleges have alternative arrangements, including buildings not being part of their estate in the longer term.

Last month, the Department for Education updated on progress on RAAC removal in schools and colleges in England. Today, the government has confirmed that RAAC has been permanently removed from 62 schools and colleges.

It comes following the Department for Education announcing £38 billion in education capital investment over the next 5 years, taking it to levels not seen since 2010.

MTT54400 - Administration: Payments and interest: Effect of group payments and recovery of group payments
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


Where a group member makes a payment of MTT on behalf of another member of the same group, under a group payment notice (see MTT54200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt54200)) or otherwise, they are entitled to recover that amount from the other group member.

Where a group member makes a payment in respect of MTT (under a group payment notice or otherwise) the payment is not allowed as a deduction in calculating the partner’s taxable income.

Equally, the reimbursement of the payment by another group member is not to be treated as taxable income in hands of the recipient, or as a deduction in the hands of the payer.

References to taxable income and deductions include for Income Tax, Corporation Tax, Domestic Top-up Tax and Multinational Top-up Tax.

No payment, or reimbursement, of MTT is to be treated as a distribution for either Income Tax or Corporation Tax purposes.

This is set out in paragraphs 37-38, schedule 14 to Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

Effect on group payment notices

Where a payment is made in respect of an MTT liability by a member, and that liability is the subject of a group payment notice, both the outstanding liability and the amount due by virtue of the group payment notice will be reduced by the amount of the payment.

See MTT54210 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt54210) for further guidance on payments in relation to a group payment notice.
