The Yarmouth Harbour Revision Order
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-28)

On 16 September 2022 Yarmouth (Isle of Wight) Harbour Commissioners (“the applicant”) made a formal application to the Marine Management Organisation (“the MMO”) under Section 14 of the Harbours Act 1964 for a Harbour Revision Order (“HRO”).

If made, the proposed HRO would modernise and consolidate the statutory harbour powers applying in relation to Yarmouth Harbour (“the Harbour”). The proposed order provides for modernised powers of management and control of the Harbour to vest in the applicant including provisions relating to powers to conduct commercial activities, become a member of a body corporate, delegate the applicant’s functions, charge interest on the Harbour’s capital, make investments, give guarantees, lend money, have electronic commissioner meetings, make charitable donations to the local community, dispose of wrecks, repair landing places, dredge, prevent the sailing of vessels, raise charges, recover charges and expenses as debts, exercise liens, remove vehicles from the Harbour’s land; the right for commissioners to be indemnified for any expenses they incur; and powers to vest in the applicant which include the power to borrow sums the applicant deems necessary, unlimited temporary borrowing, to develop or dispose of land, and to grant tenancies.

To facilitate the above, article 35 of the proposed order revokes the Acts and Orders set out in the Schedule to the proposed order and amends the Orders as set out in article 34 of the proposed order.

The statutory 42-day public consultation on the HRO starts on 24 January 2025. The final date for consultation responses to be received is 6 March 2025. Any person desiring to make an objection or representation concerning the application should write to:

- Be received before the expiry of a period of 42-days consultation period.
- Be made in writing and quoting reference HRO/2022/00011
- State the grounds of the objection or representation.
- Indicate who is making the objection or representation; and

Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


A tax is a covered tax in relation to a member if it is:
- a tax on profits of that member,
- a tax imposed on the member under an eligible distribution tax system,
- a tax imposed on the member as a substitute for a tax on profits that generally applies in the territory in which the tax is imposed, or
- a tax charged by reference to the capital of the company (or in reference to a combination of its capital and its profits).
A tax is considered to be a tax on the profits of a member where:
- that member has a direct or indirect ownership interest in another member of its group, and
- the tax is charged on that member on its share of the income or profits of the other member.
See MTT17030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt17030)for guidance on ownership interests.

This is set out in section 173 of Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

- a qualifying undertaxed profits tax,
- a disqualified refundable imputation tax (see MTT25230 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt25230)), or

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 Olympia Triumph Manufacturing 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 Olympia Triumph Manufacturing 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
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
We also pledge the following:

Establish an internal Armed Forces Network within our organisation, to enable staff members with an Armed Forces connection to meet and support one another and provide feedback to you as an organisation

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.

Joint leaders’ statement on Peace for Ukraine
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-09)

Statement by President Macron, Prime Minister Meloni, Chancellor Merz, Prime Minister Tusk, Prime Minister Starmer, President von der Leyen and President Stubb on Peace for Ukraine ahead of President Trump’s planned meeting with President Putin.

We welcome President Trump’s work to stop the killing in Ukraine, end the Russian Federation’s war of aggression, and achieve just and lasting peace and security for Ukraine.

We are convinced that only an approach that combines active diplomacy, support to Ukraine and pressure on the Russian Federation to end their illegal war can succeed.

We stand ready to support this work diplomatically as well as by upholding our substantive military and financial support to Ukraine, including through the work of the Coalition of the Willing, and by upholding and imposing restrictive measures against the Russian Federation.

We share the conviction that a diplomatic solution must protect Ukraine’s and Europe’s vital security interests.

We agree that these vital interests include the need for robust and credible security guarantees that enable Ukraine to effectively defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity. Ukraine has the freedom of choice over its own destiny. Meaningful negotiations can only take place in the context of a ceasefire or reduction of hostilities. The path to peace in Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine. We remain committed to the principle that international borders must not be changed by force. The current line of contact should be the starting point of negotiations.

We reiterate that Russia’s unprovoked and illegal invasion of Ukraine is a flagrant violation of the UN Charter, the Helsinki Final Act, the Budapest Memorandum, and successive Russian commitments. We underline our unwavering commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity.

We continue to stand firmly by the side of Ukraine. We are united as Europeans and determined to jointly promote our interests. And we will continue to cooperate closely with President Trump and with the United States of America, and with President Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine, for a peace in Ukraine that protects our vital security interests.

We also welcome the government’s intention to review the Manchester Arena Inquiry’s monitored recommendation 7 (removing the in-house licensing exemption) and monitored recommendation 8 (the introduction of business licensing) in the coming weeks.

We look forward to working with the Home Office and the UK private security industry and stakeholders to support the government’s missions to make the UK safer from terrorism and ‘taking back our streets’.

Further information

The SIA is the organisation responsible for regulating the private security industry in the UK, reporting to the Home Secretary under the terms of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2001/12/contents).

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 Precision Metal Forming 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 Precision Metal Forming 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
- 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.
