Infrastructure digital twins: data requirements
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-30)

Research showing how digital twin technology can improve the whole-life efficiency and resilience of infrastructure.

This report shows how digital twin technology could be used to protect infrastructure against identified risks such as ageing, climate change and emerging cybersecurity threats.

A digital twin is a virtual model of an object, system or process connected to its real-world counterpart by a 2-way flow of real-time data. This connection lets us test decisions before making them and understand how different actions might affect the real world.

Using digital twins can provide infrastructure owners with a better understanding of:
- the condition of their assets
- when to intervene for maintenance or renewal
- how to guide future design
This research supports the establishment of an evidence base for the use of advanced digital twins in infrastructure management.

Mott Macdonald has produced this report on behalf of the Department for Transport, as the department’s Futures Advisor.

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 Alnwick Medical Group 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 Alnwick Medical Group 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
We also pledge the following:

-Working with the CTP in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for service leavers

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.
Medical radiation: uses, dose measurements and safety advice
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-08)

The use of ionising radiation in medicine, including recommended dose measurements and guidance on safe radiology practice.

Ionising radiation is used in medicine in 3 ways:
- diagnostic radiology, which uses x-ray machines to obtain images of the inside of the patient’s body
- nuclear medicine, which uses radioactive substances introduced into the patient for diagnosis or treatment
- radiotherapy, which uses many types and sources of ionising radiation to cure or relieve symptoms of cancer and other diseases
These 3 areas are covered by the Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations 2017 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2017/1322/contents/made), which provide a framework to protect patients.

Two guidance documents have been produced in partnership with the Royal College of Radiologists, Society and College of Radiographers, Institute of Physics and Engineering Medicine and other professional bodies. The documents are entitled: Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations: Implications for clinical practice in radiotherapy (https://www.rcr.ac.uk/sites/default/files/guidance-on-irmer-implications-for-clinical-practice-in-radiotherapy.pdf) and Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations: Implications for clinical practice in diagnostic imaging, interventional radiology and diagnostic nuclear medicine (https://www.rcr.ac.uk/publication/irmer-implications-diagnostic-imaging-interventional-radiology-diagnostic-nuclear-medicine). The later document also extends to research labs, universities and sports facilities where medical and non-medical exposures are undertaken.
VATRESNI3700 - How the scheme works: Accounting for VAT
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-05)


Accounting procedures for VAT under the VAT Retail Export Scheme are outlined in Notice 704 (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/retail-export-scheme-northern-ireland)Retail Exports Scheme (Northern Ireland) (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/retail-export-scheme-northern-ireland). Only positive-rated goods may be sold under the scheme. The supply of goods to a person using VATRESNI is standard rated until the retailer has the certified VAT refund document (proof of export) and has made the refund. The supply can then be zero-rated. Where a retailer is using a retail scheme, they adjust output tax payable as outlined in Notice 727 VAT Retail Schem (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/retail-schemes-notice-727)es. It is important to note that it is only the VAT that is adjusted; the administration and cash booth fees must not be deducted from the VAT.

The Prime Minister spoke to the Taoiseach Micheál Martin this morning.

The Prime Minister spoke to the Taoiseach Micheál Martin this morning to congratulate him on his election.

The leaders agreed that the UK – Ireland relationship was going from strength to strength, and it was vital to continue that in such a volatile geopolitical context.

Discussing devastating Storm Éowyn at the weekend, the leaders paid tribute to the work of first responders and engineers to restore electricity to thousands of homes. The Prime Minister said that he had also spoken to the First Minister and Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland and that the UK stood by to offer further support, as required.

The Prime Minister also updated on his EU reset, and the leaders underscored the importance of a close and constructive relationship with the EU to boost prosperity and security.

Looking ahead to the upcoming UK-Ireland summit, both agreed that the meeting would offer a chance to deepen collaboration across all areas of the bilateral relationship, including business, innovation, and energy.

Turning to Ukraine, the Prime Minister reflected on his visit earlier this month and reiterated his view that it was vital to put Ukraine in the strongest possible position.

The leaders also discussed Holocaust Memorial Day today. The Prime Minister said he had been deeply moved by his visit to Auschwitz earlier this month, and the leaders agreed the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau was a poignant reminder on the need to defeat antisemitism and hatred.

They looked forward to meeting soon.

MTT10020 - Scope: Domestic Top-up Tax
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


Domestic Top-up Tax (DTT) can apply to wholly domestic groups and single entities, in addition to the UK operations of multinational groups. For DTT purposes, it is entities that are determined to be qualifying rather than groups.

Where the entity is a member of a group, the revenue threshold test (see MTT11010 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt11010)) is still applied to the group as a whole.

An entity will be a ‘qualifying’ entity for DTT purposes if:
- it is located in the UK,
- it is not an excluded entity for DTT purposes (see MTT10030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt10030)), and
- it meets the revenue threshold test as a single entity, or it is a member of a group that meets the revenue threshold test.
Consequently, for DTT purposes, references in HMRC guidance to ‘qualifying group’ will refer to any entity or group that includes members that qualify for DTT, and references to ‘multinational group’ will also refer to wholly domestic groups and single entities.

See MTT18000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt18000)+ for guidance on locating entities.

See MTT01200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt01200) for an overview of DTT.

MTT18040 - Scope: Determining location of entities: Meaning of 'place of creation'
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


Generally, an entity will be regarded as having been created in the jurisdiction whose law governs the entity’s constitution (or any other arrangement that regulates the rights of its members, such as a partnership agreement).

If there is no such arrangement, the wider circumstances must be considered when determining where the entity should be regarded as created.

For example, where a general partnership is deemed to have been brought into existence by law due to the actions of its members, the place of creation could be the jurisdiction or jurisdictions under whose law the partnership was deemed to arise.
VOA launches 2025 surveyor returner programme
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-24)

The programme is open to qualified chartered surveyors who have had a break from the profession.

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) has launched a ‘return to work’ programme for chartered surveyors.

The 9-month programme is aimed at those who have spent time away from the profession, either on a career break or working in another field.

About the programme

The programme focuses on rebuilding the confidence, skills and knowledge needed to succeed in surveying.

After completing a comprehensive induction, returners will shadow an experienced surveyor before gradually taking on their own caseloads.

Training and development are key features of the programme. Returners will have the opportunity to attend group coaching sessions on a range of topics, such as IT skills and building resilience.

To ensure returners leave the programme with the skills they need to progress, they will also receive interview support and coaching.

Clare Johnson, Deputy Head of Profession at the VOA said:

“I am really excited about the launch of our surveyor returner programme.

“It offers the perfect balance between on-the-job learning and personal development.

“Our aim is that by the end of the 9-month contract period, returners will feel empowered to apply for one of our permanent Chartered Surveyor positions.”

Mind in Haringey

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 Mind in Haringey 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 Mind in Haringey 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
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
We also pledge the following:

Supporting the Ex-Armed Forces community and their family members: through our Ex-Services Project.

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.

Upper Tribunal Administrative Appeals Chamber decision by Judge Butler on 3 September 2025.

Read the full decision in UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-USTA & UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-HB (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/68c7e7a95e09a4a59af0be7e/UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-USTA___UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-HB.pdf).

Judicial Summary

These appeals raise a shared legal issue about the legal mechanism for making closed period supersession decisions, which is where benefit entitlement is changed for a specific, closed period of time. They involve the question whether an award of universal credit or housing benefit can be superseded by a closed period supersession decision operating for a future fixed period of time (i.e., prospectively).

The Upper Tribunal analysed the legal mechanism for making closed period supersession decisions. It set out the relevant mechanism at paragraph 195 of its decision.

The Upper Tribunal decided a closed period supersession decision cannot be made on the ground of relevant change of circumstances, to preserve an existing award of Universal Credit (UC) or Housing Benefit (HB) where, at the date of the supersession decision, the claimant does not meet a condition of entitlement (for example, being in Great Britain). Nor, in these circumstances, can a closed period supersession be made on the ground it is anticipated a relevant change of circumstances will occur.

The Upper Tribunal confirmed that where a retrospective closed period supersession decision is made about a universal credit award, the fixed period of non-entitlement does not amount to the decision-maker making a nil award of that benefit.

The Upper Tribunal decided it was not an abuse of power for the relevant decision-maker to make the supersession decision in question about SC and about MJ, rather than wait for the claimant to return to Great Britain before making the supersession decision.

The Upper Tribunal decided that the decision made in respect of SC involved material errors of law by the relevant First-tier Tribunal. It remitted the appeal to be heard by a new Tribunal.

The Upper Tribunal decided that the decision made in respect of MJ did not involve material errors of law by the relevant First-tier Tribunal. It dismissed MJ’s appeal.
