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 Halo Leisure Services 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 Halo Leisure Services 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.

COM71110 - Enquiries: CTSA enquiries: closing an enquiry: revenue amendments
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-24)


This subject is presented as follows.

General (#general) Interaction with jeopardy amendments (#interaction) Manual closure notice with revenue amendment - updating COTAX (#manual) Consequential amendments to returns for other periods (#consequential)

General

This topic deals primarily with revenue amendments that you make when an enquiry ends. See COM71090 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com71090) for information on closing an enquiry with a non-contract settlement and the Enquiry Manual.

Interaction with jeopardy amendments

There is guidance at COM71040 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com71040) and COM71050 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com71050) on jeopardy amendments.

Manual closure notice with revenue amendment - updating COTAX

If you manually issue a closure notice with revenue amendment you need to update COTAX with the amended figures.

See COM71093 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com71093) to COM71095 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com71095) and the Enquiry Manual at EM3871 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/enquiry-manual/em3871).

You can use the ‘prepare a revenue amendment’ option in function RAMA (Record/Amend Assessment) to calculate the figures that you need to enter on your manual closure notice with revenue amendment and then update the company’s COTAX accounting record.

COTAX:
- records the details of the manual revenue amendment on the company record
- updates the relevant postings as if it had made the amendment
Consequential amendments to returns for other periods

If as a result of your enquiry you conclude that other returns made by the company which are not under enquiry need to be amended, you can use the ‘prepare a revenue amendment’ option in function RAMA (Record/Amend Assessment) to amend those returns. In such cases you must include your conclusions about those other returns in your closure notice for the period under enquiry.

For further guidance, see COM71092 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com71092), COM71093 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com71093) and the Enquiry Manual at EM3878 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/enquiry-manual/em3878).

Example approaches to transferring or decommissioning flood and coastal erosion risk management assets
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-04)

This project presents practical information on how to transfer or decommission flood and coastal erosion risk management (FCERM) assets.

Documents

Report: Practical approaches to transfer or decommissioning of FCERM assets (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/67a9e6be3b41f783cca461e2/SC140004_Research_report.pdf)

Summary

The report is aimed at asset managers in risk management authorities (RMAs) who have already decided to ‘do something different’ with their FCERM assets. These could include a seawall, an embankment, or a water level control structure. The report does not cover how to decide to ‘do something different’ with an FCERM asset, it starts from the point where this decision has already been made.

The findings will also be of interest to landowners and other stakeholders.

Method

The project was carried out in 3 phases.

Phase 1: information gathering

This involved:
- reviewing existing knowledge through an extensive literature search and discussions with practitioners at workshops and interviews
- identifying the practical issues in decommissioning or transferring assets
- developing a preliminary 3-stage framework for carrying out transfer and decommissioning
Phase 2: identifying and capturing good practice

This involved:
- developing the 3-stage framework for carrying out transfer and decommissioning
- retrospectively testing the framework on 3 sites where asset transfer or decommissioning had already occurred or was in progress
- developing 5 case study examples
Phase 3: report

The report sets out the overall process and the detail of the 3-stage framework of initial assessment, detailed assessment and implementation. Examples of asset transfer and decommissioning are given in 5 detailed case studies, including coastal defence structures, mill gates at water mills, a pumping station and a gauging station weir. The case studies highlight methods that worked well, the main challenges involved and the lessons that were learnt.

Findings

The project:
- emphasises the importance of well-planned engagement and how to do this
- clearly sets out the 3-stage framework which can be used for all projects
- legal and regulatory framework
- asset information
- environment and sustainability
- finance and funding
- stakeholder engagement
- demonstrates the importance of thorough planning
- highlights how the decision to transfer or decommission should be regularly reviewed using new information
Project Information

Project managers: Dr Juliet de Little, Dr Zora van Leeuwen, Dr Sarah Twohig

This project was commissioned by the Environment Agency’s FCERM Directorate, as part of the joint Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Research and Development Programme.

The Education (Student Fees, Awards and Support) (Amendment) Regulations 2025: impact assessment – RPC opinion (green-rated)
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-25)

Regulatory Policy Committee opinion on The Department for Education's impact assessment (IA) in respect of the regulations

The regulations make amendments to legislation governing funding for further education students and higher education undergraduate and postgraduate students in England for the 2025/26 academic year. They primarily concern changes to maximum fee loans for undergraduate students and changes to maximum loans and grants for living and other costs for undergraduate students and postgraduate students.

The IA (https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.legislation.gov.uk%2Fukia%2F2025%2F32%2Fpdfs%2Fukia_20250032_en.pdf&data=05%7C02%7CDavid.Millen%40businessandtrade.gov.uk%7Cfda9e78cb61141a98c6408dd558985bc%7C8fa217ec33aa46fbad96dfe68006bb86%7C0%7C0%7C638760771318848789%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=6M0sRqVdYVygrxU6Ior6Y%2FRAcGrlThkU8%2FOoOIkPRJ0%3D&reserved=0) provides sufficient evidence and analysis to support the rationale for intervention and considers a wide range of options. The IA provides a good quantification of the impact of the preferred option on business, individuals and the Exchequer. The Department justifies the preferred way forward sufficiently, although the comparative assessment would benefit from illustrative monetisation of alternative options.

The IA estimates that the new lower fee limit will decrease UK tuition fee income for higher education providers by between £152 million and £236 million. There is a smaller saving to individuals as not all student loans would otherwise be repaid fully, and the IA estimates a cost to households of between -£108 million and -£168 million; these savings being a transfer from providers to students. The remaining savings are to the Exchequer in not having to cover loans that would otherwise not have been repaid fully, and other reduced subsidy costs.

Regulations define a ‘normal pay day’ as either the pay day specified in the contract, or the day on which they are usually paid if:
- they have no contract, or
- their contract does not specify a pay day.
Regulation 21(2) & (3) of the Statutory Maternity Pay (General) Regulations 1986

Regulations 39 and 40 of the Statutory Paternity Pay and Statutory Adoption Pay (General) Regulations 2002

AAIB investigation to Grob G109B, G-CHYB
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-17)

Aircraft pitched down from final approach and struck trees before coming to rest on the A419 near Aston Down Airfield, Gloucestershire, 27 August 2024

The aircraft was on the late stage of final approach to Aston Down Airfield when it pitched down rapidly. The aircraft struck trees and then came to rest on the A419. Both those on board were injured and taken to hospital by the emergency services. The aircraft was severely damaged and the A419 was closed for several hours. The passenger, an experienced glider pilot, was flying the approach. The passenger’s gliding experience meant that they would normally fly the approach with their right hand on the control column and their left hand controlling the rate of descent using the airbrake handle. Flying the Grob 109 from the right seat, this control arrangement was reversed. When attempting to reduce the rate of descent, the passenger inadvertently pushed forward on the control column which caused a rapid increase in the rate of descent which could not be corrected before the aircraft struck the ground.

Summary of the Science, Technology and Innovation landscape in Kenya

Science, Technology and Innovation Landscape

The Government of Kenya recognises science, technology and innovation (STI) as a key enabler of her long-term national plan, Kenya Vision 2030 (https://vision2030.go.ke/), and is committed to harnessing STI for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2013, the government adopted the National, Science, Technology and Innovation Act, which among other provisions, mandates a doubling of R&D government spending (from 1% of GDP in 2010 to 2%) and an increase in infrastructure spending. In addition, the act facilitated the establishment of instruments to coordinate science, technology and innovation endeavours in the country. These include the National Commission of Science, Technology and Innovation (NACOSTI), Kenya National Innovation Agency (KENIA) and National Research Fund (NRF), which are fully operational.

Kenya is a gateway to the East African market of over 300 million people with combined GDP of over $400 billion (referred to as the ‘Silicon Savannah’). The R&D ecosystem is growing fast, attracting venture capital and resulting in numerous UK-Kenya research partnerships. Her young, tech-savvy population is driving innovation to address the nation’s developmental challenges.

UK Partnership with Kenya on ST&I

UK and Kenya enjoy a long standing relationship on science, technology and innovation.

The relationship is currently anchored on the newly signed Kenya-UK strategic partnership 2025-2030 that leverages on shared set of values that provides an opportunity for both countries to focus on their collective expertise, resources and leadership on five strategic pillars: Trade, Investment and Green Growth, Climate and Nature, Security and Stability and Science and Technology (S&T). The S&T Pillar brings together a team at the British High Commission that works closely with UK partners to strengthen UK’s research footprint, promote evidence-based policy making and facilitate mutually beneficial partnerships between UK and Kenya on science and technology to drive inclusive growth, job creation and sustainable development in at least three clusters. These are:
- Biosciences
- Energy and Climate
- Emerging and applied Technologies

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 Offshore Helicopter Services UK 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 Offshore Helicopter Services UK 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 Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- 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.
