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 Hull Business Training Centre 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 Hull Business Training Centre 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.

Poultry and poultry meat statistics
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-20)

UK poultry statistics.

This series includes UK information on the number of eggs set and chicks placed by hatcheries, the number of poultry slaughtered for human consumption and the quantity of poultry meat produced.

User Engagement

Data from the poultry slaughter and hatchery statistics (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/poultry-and-poultry-meat-statistics) are an invaluable evidence base for policy makers, academics and researchers. The data is also heavily relied upon by representatives of the poultry industry. The poultry slaughter and hatchery statistics (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/poultry-and-poultry-meat-statistics) is also used by the British Egg Industry Council (BEIC) as layer chick placings indicate the future laying flock size (and hence egg production). The British Poultry Council also makes heavy use of the data as the Commercial broiler chick sets and placings give evidence on the current state of the industry and predict the available supplies of meat for the coming year. This, in turn, can affect poultry meat prices and trade decisions on levels of imports and exports to maintain supply. The breeder chick placings are also a key measure of future flock sizes and intentions of the sector. The Agricultural and Horticultural Development Board AHDB- Cereals and Oilseeds, rely on the chick placings data as a good indicator of feed demand and hence grain usage by the sector.

As part of our ongoing commitment to compliance with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics (https://code.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/) we wish to strengthen our engagement with users of poultry slaughter and hatchery statistics (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/poultry-and-poultry-meat-statistics) data and better understand the use made of them and the types of decisions that they inform.

Medicines and Medical Devices Act 2021 – Stakeholder survey
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-21)

We invite feedback on the operation and impact of the human medicines and medical devices legislation as part of a statutory review required under the Medicines and Medical Devices Act 2021.

About the Review

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), in collaboration with the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), is conducting a review of the UK’s medicines and medical device regulatory framework, and we are seeking input from stakeholders across the sector, including patients and the public.

The review is a statutory obligation under the Medicines and Medical Devices Act 2021 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2021/3/contents) and is being conducted in accordance with Part 6, Regulation 48 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2021/3/section/48) of the Act, which requires the government to assess the operation and impact of the legislation at least once every five years.

The focus of the review is the legislation that govern the development, authorisation, supply, and oversight of medicines and medical devices in the UK. These include:
- Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2012/1916/contents) (HMRs): which set out the regime for the manufacture, authorisation, supply, and pharmacovigilance of medicines.
- Medical Devices Regulations 2002 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2002/618/contents) (MDRs): which provide the regulatory framework for medical devices, including requirements for safety, performance, and conformity assessment.
- The Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations 2004: (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2004/1031/contents/made) which govern the conduct of clinical trials of medicinal products.
- Medicines (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/190/contents/made) and Medical Devices (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2002/542) (Fees) Regulations: which outline the fees payable to the MHRA in relation to regulatory services.
The purpose of this review is to evaluate whether the legislation is operating as intended now, if it continues to effectively protect public health, and avoids imposing unnecessary or excessive regulatory burdens. The review is also looking at the structure of the legislation and whether restructure or consolidation would make the regulations clearer or easier to implement.

Our request

We would value your views and experiences on the regulations which are relevant to you or your organisation. Please provide us with specific examples where possible.

The findings from the completed survey will inform the Review and a report to be published by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. All feedback will be anonymised in the final report.

The deadline for completing the questionnaire is 19 September 2025.

If you have any questions relating to this review and the completion of the survey, please email: xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx), with “MMD Act Review” in the subject line.

Please download the survey questions below, for reference, before responding to this survey.
About us

The Council for Science and Technology (CST) provides independent advice to the Prime Minister on science and technology policy issues across government.

Who we are

The Council for Science and Technology (CST) was established in 1993 as the government’s top-level advisory body on science and technology. CST is co-chaired by the Government Chief Scientific Adviser and an independent chair. The Council is formed of 19 independent members (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/council-for-science-and-technology/about/membership).

Governance
- Terms of reference (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/council-for-science-and-technology/about/terms-of-reference).
- Ways of working (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cst-ways-of-working).
Responsibilities

The Council provides impartial and evidence-based advice to the Prime Minister and Cabinet on:
- what the government’s high-level priorities for science and technology should be to deliver the government’s national missions;
- science and research capability
- innovation and economic growth
- health and quality of life within the UK
- sustainable development and resilience
- how science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) can be developed and sustained in the UK (e.g., through skills and international partnerships);
- the UK’s science and innovation system, including issues relating to UK research, development, and innovation institutions;
- other matters requested by the Prime Minister, ministers, or considered important by the Council; and
- topics requested by the Science and Technology Cabinet Committee.
Code of practice

The CST adopts the government’s Code of Practice for Scientific Advisory Committees (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/scientific-advisory-committees-code-of-practice) although, as the CST’s role is to advise on strategic policy rather than to evaluate research, some parts of the code aren’t directly relevant to CST’s activities.

The code covers all of the committee’s work including role, remit, responsibilities of members, chairs and secretariats, working practices, and publication of documents. It ensures that the committee works openly and transparently.

The consultation also seeks views on:
- making sure pregnant women and new mothers are aware of the policy
- how to best support businesses through the change
- how to mitigate against any unintended consequences
- other changes that could be made to tackle pregnancy and maternity discrimination
The consultation seeks responses from individuals who are or have been a pregnant woman, new mother or other parent, as well as employers, business representative organisations, academics, trade unions, charities and legal representatives.

Consultation on financial thresholds in charity law
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-31)

This consultation seeks views on the financial thresholds in charity law and whether or not to increase them in line with inflation.

The Law Commission’s 2017 report ‘Technical Issues in Charity Law’ recommended that the government periodically review all financial thresholds in the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”) with a view to increasing them in line with inflation. The government accepted this recommendation, and committed to conducting a review at least every 10 years, subject to resources.

Reviewing the financial thresholds in charity law ensures that charities continue to be sufficiently transparent and accountable, helping the public to continue to trust that their donations to charities are being used effectively for the benefit of the public. The regulatory landscape must also be proportionate and reduce unnecessary administrative burdens on charities where possible, particularly for small organisations.

If the alternative use is also eligible for Authorised Use, the goods can benefit from the reduced Authorised Use rate applicable to the alternative use and any Customs debt will be calculated on the difference between the two Authorised Use rates. A Customs debt will be incurred at the point of diversion i.e. the point at which the goods are put to an ineligible use.

UK-India CETA Chapter 2: Trade in Goods
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-24)

Text of chapter 2 of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and India.

This chapter and its annexes provide for the liberalisation of trade of originating goods between the UK and India. It removes tariffs in accordance with each party’s tariff schedule.

The chapter will help facilitate trade in goods between the UK and India, ensuring transparency on fees and charges, and co-operation through a Goods sub-committee that will meet every two years once the FTA comes into effect.

India will remove or reduce tariffs on 90% tariff lines, which will cover 92% of existing goods imports from the UK (based on 2022 trade). India has agreed to remove tariffs on 64% of tariff lines at entry into force. After staging over 10 years, the agreement will mean 85% tariff lines will be eligible for tariff free entry into India.

The UK has agreed to liberalise tariffs on most Indian exports. This deal excludes some domestic sectors from liberalisation, such as sugar, milled rice, pork, chicken, and eggs

The agreement is not yet in force. Both the UK and India are required to complete their respective domestic procedures for the agreement to come into effect. Once ratified by both countries, businesses will be able to trade under its terms.

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 Liquid Friday 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 Liquid Friday 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
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
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.

PAYE81516 - PAYE operation: international employments: qualifying new residents
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-06)


Section 690D ITEPA 2003

Subject to certain transitional provisions (see Employment Income Manual (EIM) EIM43605), an employee is a qualifying new resident for a tax year if
- they are UK resident for that tax year,
- they have been non-UK resident for a continuous period of at least 10 tax years immediately prior to that tax year, and
- they are not disqualified for that tax year.
A disqualified individual is an individual who would be regarded as a member of the House of Commons or House of Lords for any part of the tax year.

An employee who is a qualifying new resident for a tax year will continue to be a qualifying new resident for any tax year during the following 3 year period for which they are UK resident. This means they can be a qualifying new resident for up to 4 tax years (see EIM43560).
