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 CHS Tactical 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 CHS Tactical 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

- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
We also pledge the following:

UK calls out Russian occupation of Georgian territory
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-07)

The UK has reaffirmed its support for Georgian sovereignty at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva and called out Russian occupation of Georgian territory

The UK has reaffirmed its support for Georgian sovereignty during a session at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. The UK continues to be a strong supporter of UN Human Rights Council Resolution 60/16 on “Cooperation with Georgia”.

The resolution highlights the ongoing human rights violations and humanitarian concerns resulting from Russia’s continued occupation of Georgian territory.

Minister of State Stephen Doughty said:

For 17 years, Russia’s unlawful military grip on Abkhazia and South Ossetia has defied international law and denied ethnic Georgians their basic human rights. This occupation must end.

Russia must withdraw its forces, reverse its recognition of these so-called independent regions, and open the door to international human rights monitors. Every displaced person – regardless of ethnicity – deserves the right to return home in safety, dignity, and peace.

EM8701 - Close Companies: Settlement: Employment Income Route: Introduction
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-05)


Employers are responsible for the correct operation of PAYE and are normally held responsible for any failures. However, if the employer cannot pay what is due (for example because of insolvency) and an under-deduction relates to a particular employee or director, then HMRC may relieve the employer of the liability and transfer it to the employee or director.

The liability is transferred from the employer to the employee, or director, by making a direction under Regulation 72(5) Condition B (or if Regulation 80 determinations have been made, under Regulation 81).

Approval for pursuing the employment income route is required from contact link (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/enquiry-manual/em21000) except where
- you have in place 'alternative' CTA10/S455 and employment income assessments made in accordance with the final paragraph of EM8605 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/enquiry-manual/em8605) that the tribunal can determine, or
- there is clear evidence that extractions were in the nature of remuneration.
Often approval can be given over the telephone with sight of the papers only requested where necessary.

However, before any necessary approval is sought, and depending on the expected yield, you should make advance contact with a PAYE Directions Team
- to ascertain if sufficient facts have been established to enable a direction and decision to be made, and
- obtain, if necessary, further procedural advice.
Often a formal direction will be required against the directors or employees of an insolvent company or one that simply ceases EM8730 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/enquiry-manual/em8730). As recovery will be from the director(s), or employee(s), the extent to which funds are available to them needs to be considered.

At the same time you should also consider NICs liability
- after 05/04/99 for personal liability notices on culpable officers (NIM12201 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-insurance-manual/nim12201)) and
- after 05/04/2004 under Reg 86 of the Social Security (Contributions) Regulations 2001, if there are unpaid primary Class 1 NICs due to negligence on the part of the employee (NIM12125 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-insurance-manual/nim12125)).

Source: gov.uk (2025-06-24)

UK statement for the Interactive Dialogue with the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide. Delivered by the UK's Human Rights Ambassador, Eleanor Sanders.

Thank you, Mr President.

We thank the Special Adviser for their ongoing contribution to driving an atrocity-prevention approach across the UN system and raising atrocity risks to the Secretary-General and UN Member States.

Effective early warning systems that escalate concerns before they arise are critical for early action in preventing atrocities. We continue to support the “early warning systems for all” principle laid out in the Pact for the Future.

However, we also need to act on early warning signs. Atrocities continue to be committed across the world.

In Sudan, particularly Darfur, the reports of violence are deeply troubling.

In Myanmar, the military continues to escalate violence, including airstrikes on civilian infrastructure. All parties must protect civilians.

In Afghanistan, the Taliban continue to enforce their inhuman restrictions on human rights, especially for women and girls.

On the eve of the twentieth anniversary of the adoption of the Responsibility to Protect, we urge renewed global efforts to protect civilians and strengthen human rights in environments at risk. UN offices should continue to play a role in enabling the wider UN system in these endeavours.

What are the challenges to enabling the wider UN system to act on atrocity risks and how can Member States help?

Medicines: register to manufacture, import or distribute active substances
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-01)

How to register as a manufacturer, importer or distributor of active substances.

Overview

Active substances are used to give medicinal products their therapeutic effect and are often called active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

If you manufacture, import or distribute active substances and you are based in the UK you must register with the MHRA. You can do this through the MHRA PCL Portal (https://pclportal.mhra.gov.uk/).

To manufacture, import or distribute an active substance you must also comply with good manufacturing and distribution practice (GMDP) (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/good-manufacturing-practice-and-good-distribution-practice).

We have produced a flowchart on the registration requirements (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6203d756e90e077f71cd5469/Active_substance_flow_chart_revised_for_2022_edition.pdf) (PDF, 113 KB, 3 pages) requirements to help you decide what kind of registration you need.

You can find out who’s already registered by checking on MHRA-GMDP (https://cms.mhra.gov.uk/mhra).

The registration process

New applications take 60 working days to process, excluding time taken to provide further information or data required.

Variations to registrations that do not need an inspection take 30 working days to process.

If an inspection is required, the inspector will contact you to arrange for an inspection of your site(s).

When the process and inspections - if necessary - are complete, you will receive a registration document.

Change your registration

You must tell us if the details of your original registration change using the MHRA PCL Portal (https://pclportal.mhra.gov.uk/).

This change may require an inspection and you will have to pay an inspection fee as well as the variation fee.

New active substances must be added immediately to the registration when there is a potential impact on the safety and quality of other substances. Otherwise you can notify the substances in your annual compliance report.

Annual compliance reports

Registered manufacturers, importers and distributors of active substances must complete an annual compliance report which is due every year on 30 April. Submit the report to us using MHRA PCL Portal (https://pclportal.mhra.gov.uk/).

Terminate your registration

To request termination of licence you should complete the Termination Form (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6762fee0cdb5e64b69e307fc/Termination_form.docx) (MS Word Document, 756 KB) and email it to xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

There is no fee for terminating a licence. However, to avoid having to pay the annual service fee, you must make the request before 31 December.

Fees and payment

The fee payable depends on the number of sites you are registering in your application. Find out more about the fees we charge at MHRA fees (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mhra-fees/current-mhra-fees#active-substance-importers-or-distributors-fees).

Refreshed guidance to evaluate corporate compliance
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-26)

Serious Fraud Office publishes updated guidance for corporates setting out transparently when, why and how it will evaluate a compliance programme.

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has today published updated guidance on evaluating corporate compliance programmes, providing organisations with greater clarity on how their compliance arrangements will be assessed across a range of enforcement scenarios.

The refreshed guidance outlines the six scenarios in which the SFO may need to evaluate an organisation’s compliance programme, including when considering prosecutions, deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs), compliance terms and monitorships, potential defences to corporate offences, and sentencing considerations.

A key update to the guidance incorporates evaluation criteria for the new offence of failure to prevent fraud under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA), including assessment of any potential defences of reasonable procedures.

The guidance emphasises that the SFO’s assessment will be based on an organisation’s individual circumstances. It stresses that having policies, procedures and controls in place does not automatically mean a compliance programme is effective. The SFO will examine how policies translate into conduct on the ground.

This publication marks the latest step in the SFO’s refreshed approach to working with cooperating businesses to encourage best practice. It follows the release of the updated Corporate Cooperation Guidance in April this year and the Joint SFO-CPS Corporate Prosecution Guidance published in August.

Matthew Wagstaff, Director of Legal Services, said:

This updated guidance provides organisations with clear expectations and demonstrates our transparent approach to working with organisations that demonstrate best practice.

Effective compliance is not a tick-box exercise – it’s about creating genuine cultures that prevent fraud, bribery and corruption.

The guidance is available on the SFO website (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sfo-guidance-on-evaluating-a-corporate-compliance-programme).

Further work planned on Lydney Harbour in Gloucestershire
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-10)

The Environment Agency is continuing to carry out improvement works to Lydney Harbour to give the historic site a sustainable and prosperous future.

Most recently, the improvement works have included the refurbishment of the outer sea gates and desilting works which enable the safe passage of boats in the harbour.

The next stage of the project focuses on the piers, which were closed due to safety concerns. The Environment Agency plans to replace the current temporary green mesh fencing with new pedestrian fencing, similar to that what has been installed elsewhere on the site. This will allow improved access to more of the piers. Work to repair the site surfacing and restore harbour fixtures to improve access for Lydney Yacht Club will also take place.

The Environment Agency will be consulting the Forest of Dean Council and Historic England to agree the design and obtain the required permissions before works take place. The exact positioning of the fencing will be determined once it has obtained Scheduled Monument Consent. Construction is expected to start in Spring 2026.

In the coming months, the Environment Agency will also install additional pontoons to improve access for boat owners in the inner harbour. It will also introduce new signage to keep the public informed and undertake repair works on one of the bridges.

The Environment Agency met the Harbour’s Community Leaders’ Group on 27 January to provide an update and to discuss the forthcoming work.

Martin Quine, Place Manager for Gloucestershire, from the Environment Agency, said:

I’d like to thank the Community Leaders’ Group and the public for their patience and continuing interest in the future of Lydney Harbour.

We fully appreciate how important Lydney Harbour is to all those who use and visit it.

Our main objective remains to establish a facility that not only meets the existing health and safety standards but also brings a sustainable and prosperous future.

We have been working closely with Historic England throughout the whole process and will continue to do so.

A dedicated email inbox has also been set up for any questions the public might have. The address is xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

Additional information

The Environment Agency is the landowner and harbour authority of Lydney Harbour and has a duty of care to protect the public from harm.

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 IAR 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 IAR 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.
