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

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.

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.

UK Trade Envoy visits Pakistan to boost trade
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-22)

The UK Trade Envoy to Pakistan, Mohammad Yasin MP, has begun a 3-day visit to Karachi and Islamabad to encourage investment and long-term economic co-operation.

The visit follows the UK’s launch of its Growth Mission and Modern Industrial Strategy. Invest 2035 sets out a ten-year plan to provide certainty and stability for businesses in high growth sectors such as clean energy, digital technologies, life sciences and advanced manufacturing.

Over 200 British companies are operating in Pakistan, with the top five contributing around one percent of Pakistan’s GDP. The UK is Pakistan’s largest European trading partner and top source of foreign direct investment.

Mohammad Yasin MP, UK Trade Envoy to Pakistan, said:

“The UK and Pakistan already enjoy deep commercial ties, but there is much more we can achieve together. It is a place close to my heart, and I have seen over many years the enormous potential to help both our countries prosper. During my visit, I look forward to supporting efforts that unlock new opportunities and drive growth.”

Mr Yasin will meet senior government stakeholders including Jawad Paul, Secretary for Commerce, and Minister Chaudhry Salik Hussain, Federal Minister for Overseas Pakistanis. He will also meet business leaders to strengthen trade and encourage investment.

Mr Yasin’s visit will help pave the way for the UK-Pakistan Trade Dialogue, due to launch later this year. The Dialogue will offer a platform to grow exports, increase investment flows, address business environment concerns and identify opportunities for greater market access.

How the Subsidy Advice Unit operates its subsidy control functions
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-12)

This guidance sets out how the Subsidy Advice Unit (SAU) will carry out its subsidy control functions in the UK Subsidy Control Regime.

The guidance explains the role of SAU. The SAU provides independent non-binding advisory reports regarding certain subsidies that are referred by public authorities, and periodically monitors and reviews the operation of the subsidy control regime.

The CMA consulted on a previous version of this guidance in 2022.

This guidance was updated in November 2025 and includes updates and clarifications in the following areas:

Acceptance

We have included further information on the acceptance of referrals, including more details on the requirements for acceptance, checklists for public authorities, and answers to common questions such as how public authorities should draft non-confidential summaries.

Confidential information

We have added detail on how the SAU handles confidential information and how public authorities should mark-up confidential information when they submit a referral.

Pre-referral discussions

We have provided further detail to reflect current practice on format, timescales and expectations for pre-referral discussions – for example, at what point are public authorities advised to share a draft assessment, and what is covered in pre-referral discussions.

Interpreting the SAU’s report

We have added a section to explain how our final evaluation is presented in our reports, what this means to the public authority, and next steps.

Analytical framework

This chapter has been updated to provide additional insight into the factors and questions that the SAU considers in its review. This content does not duplicate that in the Statutory Guidance (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-subsidy-control-statutory-guidance) published by DBT, but is intended to complement it.

How to contact the SAU

Public authorities

Public authorities wishing to contact us regarding the revised guidance or overall operation of the SAU, can contact us by email: xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

Media enquiries

All enquiries from journalists should be directed to the CMA press office by email on xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) or by phone on xx-xxxx-xxxx.

Integrated National Transport Strategy: a call for ideas
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-16)

A call for ideas to support the development of an Integrated National Transport Strategy for England.

The Department for Transport is developing a strategy which will set the high-level direction for how transport should be designed, built and operated in England over the next 10 years.

It will set out a single national vision which will put people who use transport and their needs at its heart and empower local leaders to deliver integrated transport solutions that meet the needs of their local communities.

To help us create the strategy, we are now asking people:
- about their experience of transport in England
- what we could do to make it better
We want to hear from:
- people who use any form of transport, including cars, vans, motorbikes, mopeds, trains, underground, metro, trams, buses, minibuses, coaches, bikes, e-bikes, walking or wheeling
- frontline transport workers – people who work in the transport industry
- companies and organisations that operate in the transport sector
Responses to this call for ideas will be considered in the drafting of the Integrated National Transport Strategy.
Fire statistics
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-04)

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government collects detailed information on incidents attended by fire and rescue services.

On 1 April 2025 responsibility for fire and rescue transferred from the Home Office to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.

This information covers fires, false alarms and non-fire incidents attended by fire crews, including the number of incidents, fires, fatalities and casualties as well as information on response times to fires. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) also collect information on the workforce, fire prevention work, health and safety and firefighter pensions.

MHCLG has responsibility for fire services in England. The vast majority of statistics produced by MHCLG are for England but some, clearly marked, tables are for Great Britain split by nation. In the past the Department for Communities and Local Government (who previously had responsibility for fire services in England) produced releases and tables for Great Britain and at times the UK. Similar information for devolved administrations are available at Scotland: Fire and rescue statistics (https://www.firescotland.gov.uk/about/statistics/), Wales: Fire and rescue statistics (https://www.gov.wales/fire-and-rescue-incident-statistics) and Northern Ireland: Fire and rescue statistics (https://www.nifrs.org/home/about-us/publications/).

A privacy notice for individuals who have accessed fire and rescue services explaining how we use your personal data is available at Fire and rescue services: privacy notice (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/data-protection-and-privacy-notices).

Source: gov.uk (2025-10-24)

Do misperceptions deter small retailers from stocking profitable products?

Abstract

The authors apply unsupervised machine learning to the inventories of 2000 shops in Lusaka, Zambia, to identify clusters of similar retailers and flag a “target” product, one stocked by some but not all shops in a cluster.

This paper is part of the Private Enterprise Development in Low-Income Countries (PEDL) programme.

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 Steven Caunce 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 Steven Caunce 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
- 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.

CISR82610 - Compliance: Regulation 13 determinations: raise determination
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-16)


This action guide explains the steps you should take to raise a determination on a contractor under Regulation 13. Note that these determinations must be raised by the Supervising Office dealing with the contractors SA/CT record.
- Issue a warning letter to the contractor along the lines of the sample letter set out immediately below. You should allow a period of 30 days from that date of the warning letter to allow the contractor to respond before making the determination under Regulation 13.
Note: This sample is not suitable for use in connection with subcontractor/contractor disputes.

"I have reason to believe that you engage subcontractors within the scope of the Construction Industry Scheme and that you have made payments without making the necessary deductions, or you have made deductions from payments made to subcontractors but failed to pay the deductions over to HMRC. The relevant legislation is set out in the Finance Act 2004, sections 57-77 and Schedules 11 and 12.

In view of this, I intend to raise a determination under Regulation 13(2) of Statutory Instrument 2005, No 2045 as detailed below.

(Year of determination)

(Amount of determination)

(Reason for determination)

Any comment or response you might wish to make at this stage should be addressed to me at the address above"

2. If the warning results in a satisfactory response and the matter can be resolved without the need for a determination, take no further action.

If the contractor accepts that the appropriate deduction was not made but maintains that there is a good reason for that or that the subcontractor has accounted for the liability, you should consider the case for a direction under Regulation 9 (CISR83000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/construction-industry-scheme-reform/cisr83000)).

If there is no satisfactory resolution after the warning and there is no case for a Regulation 9 direction to be made you should proceed to arrange for the issue of a Regulation 13 determination.
