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 Wild Optics 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 Wild Optics 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

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.

A uniformed police officer has to bear the cost of cleaning his uniform. His police authority assists by supplying cleaning tokens to the value of £26 per year. Although the cleaning tokens are available not all officers take them.For 2008/09 the officer can deduct the national flat rate deduction of £140 less the value of the cleaning tokens, £26. The net amount he can deduct is £114.It does not matter whether the officer takes the cleaning tokens or not. To the extent that the authority makes them available it is not necessary for the officer to incur that cost. It is not enough that he may bear the full cost by choice.

Evaluation of the Creating Opportunities Forum (COF) programme
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-13)

This report presents the impact and process evaluation findings for the Creating Opportunities Forum programme, a wraparound support programme for young people.

The Creating Opportunities Forum was a programme aimed at supporting vulnerable young people at risk of serious violence, which ran from October 2021 to March 2023, funded by a joint HM Treasury bid by the Home Office and the Department for Work and Pensions. It operated in 12 local authority areas, with the aim of supporting individuals to bridge the gap to employment, improve wellbeing, and reduce engagement in violence and crime.

The mixed methods evaluation included an impact evaluation to determine the effectiveness of the programme against its key aims, and a process evaluation to inform the rollout of the programme during delivery, to identify what worked well and any barriers to effectiveness, and to provide recommendations for how to improve similar programmes in future.

This research was commissioned by the last Conservative government, and prior to 5 July 2024.

2 January 2025: updated guidance published

The guidance has been updated to reflect the changes to the mergers regime made by the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (DMCCA24) which commenced on 1 January 2025.

Summary of transitional provisions

The parts of the revised guidance dealing with the DMCC Act changes related to jurisdiction (paragraph 2.2) will apply to (i) completed mergers where completion took place on or after 1 January 2025 and (ii) anticipated mergers where the formal Phase 1 investigation (ie the start of the 40 working day initial period) commences on or after 1 January 2025. The March 2021 guidance (paragraph 2.2) will continue to apply to (i) completed cases where completion took place prior to 1 January 2025, (ii) anticipated cases where the formal Phase 1 investigation (ie the start of the 40 working day initial period) commenced prior to 1 January 2025.

The parts of the revised guidance dealing with the new statutory phase 2 fast track process (paragraphs 2.8 and 2.9) will apply to mergers where the formal Phase 1 investigation (ie start of the 40 working day initial period) commences on or after 1 January 2025.

The parts of the revised guidance dealing with the extension of the phase 2 timetable by mutual agreement between the CMA and the merger parties (paragraph 2.9) will apply to mergers referred to Phase 2 on or after 1 January 2025.

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.

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.

Quantitative review of sustainable novel food production
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-16)

Evaluation of alternative protein sources to support UK Net Zero targets, reduce food system greenhouse gases, and drive sustainable innovation.

Following the 2015 Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework On Climate Change (UNFCC), UK Net-Zero emission targets have primarily focused on reductions in CO2 emission levels, with remedial efforts being directed at reductions in fossil fuel combustion emissions. However, other potent greenhouse gases (GHGs), which include methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), are yet to attract as much public attention, despite primarily being the biproduct of a variety of food production system (FS) practices, particularly those associated with agricultural activities. Consequently, adoption of alternative methods for food production, particularly those associated with dietary protein production through rearing of livestock, have become a global focus for reducing FS GHG contributions.

The UK is currently witnessing an increasing interest in the development and commercialisation of sources of alternative dietary protein for which markets already exist within the UK. Driven by relevant technological advances, combined with the need for more sustainable sources of dietary protein, the sector has witnessed an acceleration in both innovation and product development. To date, progress has primarily been focused on identifying alternative protein sources (e.g., plant, algal, precision fermented) that require less resource intensive means of production and emit fewer GHGs.

This review, delivered under the Government Chemist programme, provides an evaluation summary of the leading categories of alternative dietary protein based on recent publications in the current scientific and grey literature, with particular focus on plant-based meat substitutes; novel protein sources (inclusive of insects, microalgae and macroalgae), precision fermented biomass (inclusive of fungal and bacteria), and cultured meat. Aspects covered for each category include consumer-based opinion, commercial market options, technical and non-technical challenges, sector regulation and recommendations for category progression.

You can apply to the tribunal to impose increased daily penalties under Sch23, FA11 and for Identity Unknown notices under Sch36, FA08, where the initial and daily default penalties have not been effective in getting the data, documents or information you require.

Before asking the tribunal to increase the daily penalties, you must ensure:
- the data-holder or third party has been assessed with an initial fixed penalty of £300 - see CH270100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch270100), and daily default penalties - see CH270200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch270200)
- 30 days have passed since the data-holder or third party was last assessed with the daily penalty and they still have not complied with the notice
- the data-holder or third party has been told that you are making an application to the tribunal for increased daily penalties
If the tribunal decides to increase the daily default penalty, see CH29550 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch29550) for details on tribunal decision. You must update:
- the data-holder or third party with the increased daily default penalty amount, and the date from when the new increased penalty will be charged if they still have not complied with the notice by that date
- the National Penalties Processing System (NPPS) with the new amount - see CH270500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch270500)

CTM35270 - Income Tax: Deduction of tax: Royalties paid overseas
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-13)


Royalties paid under double taxation arrangements in full, or after deduction at reduced rate.

FA02/S96 introduced ICTA88/S349E for payments made on or after 1 October 2002. This legislation is now in ITA07/PART15/CHAPTER8.

ITA07/S911 allows companies to pay royalties overseas and deduct only the reduced rate of tax prescribed by the relevant double taxation agreement without seeking prior clearance from the Revenue.

The conditions for the scheme are
- payment is made on or after 1 October 2002,
- ITA07/PART15/CHAPTER6 or CHAPTER7 (deduction of tax) would have applied to the royalty payment, and
- the company reasonably believes that at the time the payment is made the beneficial owner of the payment is entitled to claim relief in respect of any double taxation arrangements.
The reasonable belief test is the same as in CTM35215 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm35215). Penalty provisions have been introduced in TMA70/S98 when a payment is within the deduction at source rules in ITA07 and is made under deduction at source at the treaty rate but the payee is not entitled to treaty relief and the company which makes the payment either does not believe that the payee is entitled to such relief or could not have reasonably held that belief.

A royalty payment under this optional scheme is defined in ITA07/S913 as
- consideration for the use or right to use any copyright, patent, trademark, design, process or function, or
- any proceeds from the sale of all or any part of the patent rights.
The double taxation agreement may either allow for the payment to be made gross or with tax deducted at a reduced rate. In either case the payer applies the terms of the double taxation agreement. The overseas recipient is no longer required to make an application to the Revenue for treaty relief before receiving their income gross. If the payments are subsequently assessed to tax under ITA07/PART15/CHAPTER16 then the tax rate at which the payments are assessed is that prescribed in the double taxation agreement.

Where it is ultimately found that the recipient was not entitled to receive the payments gross or under deduction at reduced rate the Revenue retains the right to recover the Income Tax which should have been deducted. In this event the normal provisions of ITA07/PART15/CHAPTER16 will apply.

As regards the treatment of interest, royalties and so forth paid in full (or after deduction of tax at a reduced rate) under double taxation arrangements, see DT1825 (http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/dtmanual/DT1825.htm).
Primary Authority Statutory Guidance

The framework for the operation of Primary Authority.

This is the framework for the operation of Primary Authority which sets out essential detail to assist those participating in the scheme. It is split into seven main sections, one general and relevant to all, and the others specific to direct partnerships, co-ordinated partnerships, primary authorities, enforcing authorities, co-ordinators, and supporting regulators.

The guidance was last updated in 2025 to take account of legislative changes post EU Exit, and the enhanced role of national regulators. It also reflects the development and maturation of the scheme.

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 Tom Harrison House 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;

- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
