Instead, it may be time for a form of registration or certificate that requires knowledge of dogs before a person can have one and that imposes ownership conditions, such as a suitable home, understanding of the duty of animal welfare that We found the main issue was people could get a dog without knowing how to train or look after it. A new registration scheme would need resources to properly enforce, a big ask in a time of rising living costs and government austerity measures. We aren’t the only ones who think this.

A company, who breached anti-money laundering rules, can no longer trade as a repayment agent.

Using this process will make it easier for taxpayers to stay in control of their repayments. [consider their options](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/how-to-choose-a-tax-agent) when appointing a tax adviser to act on their behalf. The use of legally binding assignments, which transfer any repayment of income tax to a taxpayer’s agent rather than directly to the person who has overpaid, will be stopped as these can only be cancelled when the agent and taxpayer agree. The government intends to legislate to render void assignments of income tax repayments. HMRC will contact all affected clients by the end of March to explain their refund. The greater protections we’re bringing in will help to stop people unwittingly losing their hard-earned money to misleading agents.

The UK has moved for Horizon Europe fee renegotiation as its potential association grows with ongoing Northern Ireland Protocol discussions.

However, what the UK pays in is calculated on the basis of its GDP, not what it gets back, so this could be a difficult ask. It’s in everyone’s interests that those discussions on Horizon can happen now so that But so far, they say the Commission has refused to engage until a deal is struck on the Northern Ireland Protocol.

Having been blocked from Europe’s €95.5 billion programme, the UK government is thought to want to engage in Horizon Europe fee renegotiation to reflect the fact that it has been shut out for so long. With signs of a potential deal being agreed on the Northern Ireland Protocol, many believe UK association with Horizon Europe might be near; however, will the UK insist on Horizon Europe fee renegotiation beforehand?

Woodland owners are encouraged to plant and manage more diverse and resilient woodlands of varying ages and species in the face of climate change. “Climate change will affect our trees, wood and forests. The projected rate of climate change is unprecedented, from warmer summers to more frequent extreme conditions such as drought periods and heavy rainfall events.
