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 The Shed on the Isle 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 The Shed on the Isle 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
- 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.

SFO secures conviction in international aircraft fraud
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-01)

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has secured the conviction of the director of AOG Technics.

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has secured the conviction of the director of AOG Technics, a company that sold aircraft engine parts with forged documentation.

Parts sold were fitted into the world’s most widely used passenger aircraft engine, the CFM56 engine.

Jose Alejandro Zamora Yrala plead guilty at Southwark Crown Court, ahead of trial, to operating his company for a fraudulent purpose.

AOG Technic’s customers included airlines, maintenance repair operators and engine parts suppliers.

From 2019 to 2023, Zamora Yrala defrauded customers by falsifying documentation that related to the origin and status of CFM56 engine parts. CFM56 engines power Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 planes.

Planes in the UK and across the world were grounded in 2023 after the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority, the United States’ Federal Aviation Administration, and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency issued safety alerts to airlines that may have bought or installed AOG’s parts.

The SFO launched an investigation in October 2023, working with Portuguese authorities into the supply of suspected fraudulent safety certifications and parts. The Portuguese investigation remains ongoing.

The SFO would like to thank the Portuguese Procuradoria-Geral da República and the Civil Aviation Authority for their assistance.

Emma Luxton, Director of Operations at the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), said:

“This significant and audacious fraud threatened trust in the aviation industry and risked public safety on a global scale.

“I’m extremely proud that we’ve acted swiftly to secure this conviction and wish to thank law enforcement partners in Portugal for their speedy and critical assistance.”

Zamora Yrala will appear at Southwark Crown Court on 23rd February 2026 for sentencing.

DSIT regulatory spectrum sandboxes
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-08)

Reports on the regulatory spectrum sandboxes conducted by Queen Mary University of London, Durham University, and Real Wireless, during the year 2024/2025.

The regulatory spectrum sandboxes were a 12-month, £5 million DSIT funded initiative that brought together industry and academia in defined areas to explore how different spectrum applications and systems could coexist. Participants considered different approaches and mechanisms for sharing spectrum, examining how these could potentially foster quicker and more innovative sharing.

Each sandbox project explored enhanced spectrum sharing through three work packages:

1. Practical testbeds: Collected field measurements and compared system performance under conventional and intensive sharing. 2. Simulation and modelling: Assessed the applicability of sharing solutions across different parameters, locations, frequencies, and technologies. 3. Economic and regulatory assessment: Evaluated the economic value of sharing solutions and suggested regulatory mechanisms and tools.

The spectrum sandboxes were led by Real Wireless, Durham University and Queen Mary University of London.

Spectrum is the lifeblood of wireless technology. As technology advances and more devices are connected there is increasing pressure on this finite resource. Facilitating more intensive spectrum sharing will ensure we are making the most of the spectrum and will open up spectrum for future connectivity, helping to unlock our connectivity ambitions, and support economic growth across the country.

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 PVL 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 PVL 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
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.

IMPS03440 - Import entry procedures: postal imports of cut flowers, cuttings and potted plants from the Channel Islands and postal imports of low value goods from Guernsey and Jersey
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-09)


Customs have special arrangements that allow some overseas traders to charge, collect and pay over to us the import VAT that would normally be chargeable at the time the goods are imported. These arrangements operate under Memoranda of Understanding signed with the overseas countries customs and postal authorities. Traders wanting to use this procedure must be authorised to do so by these authorities. Once authorised, they are issued with a unique authorisation number which should be shown on the customs declaration or packaging. Also they will include the statement ‘Import VAT Pre-paid’. Where these arrangements are used traders will not be charged import VAT or a Royal Mail handling fee when they receive their package.

VAT registered businesses that purchase goods for use in their business should keep the outer wrapper and invoice from the supplier to support their claim for input tax.

Reporting to the National Supply Disruption Response (NSDR)
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-29)

Information on how to request assistance from the NSDR.

The National Supply Disruption Response (NSDR) is the single point of contact for the UK’s health and care system and medical supply industry in the event of medical supply disruption that may require national support to help mitigate the impact on patients and/or service delivery.

A UK-wide service, the NSDR works with health and care providers, manufacturers and wholesalers and system partners to help mitigate any impact to patients and/or service provision. Established systems already exist for responding to serious supply disruption of medical products, and you should employ these ‘business as usual’ channels within your organisation or industry to respond to and resolve issues before contacting the NSDR.

Contacting the NSDR

If you are experiencing, or anticipating, a medical product supply disruption that may require NSDR support, please contact the NSDR as early as possible. This includes notifying the NSDR of any product discontinuations to any part of the UK that may impact upon patient care.

The NSDR can be reached between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday (except on bank holidays) via our mailbox: xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx). Within these times, we will aim to respond to queries within 4 hours.

When you report issues to the NSDR, we will ask for detailed information to help our teams determine the most appropriate response. Any organisation or company that reports a supply disruption to the NSDR is classed as the ‘originator’ and will be kept informed of case investigation and management progress for the duration of the disruption.

The NSDR can offer support with supply disruption for any type of medical product. However, medicine suppliers have a statutory duty to notify the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) of any anticipated supply shortage or discontinuation. Notifications can be submitted via the DaSH reporting portal (https://report-discontinuations-shortages.service.dhsc.gov.uk).

Express Freight Service

The NSDR has access to the Express Freight Service, which provides bespoke, global logistics solutions in the event of critical disruption and operates on a 24-hour daily basis. Suppliers are responsible for payment of carriage and are required to be registered before they can access the service.

Register with the Express Freight Service. (https://efs-dhsc.aq4.io/)

Source: gov.uk (2025-03-03)

Guidelines for prisons on reviewing the categorisation of category A and restricted status (high security) prisoners.

This prison service instruction (PSI) describes when and how the security classification of high security prisoners should be reviewed. It covers:
- category A prisoners (adult men)
- restricted status prisoners (young adults and women)
It describes how prisoners should be assessed and given a category to reflect how likely they are to try and escape and the risks they pose to staff, prisoners and the public.

It includes guidance on ensuring prisoners are treated in a fair, consistent and objective way and that appropriate security measures are applied lawfully, safely, fairly, proportionately and decently.

This is a current PSI. It came into effect on 27 March 2013 and was last updated on 10 June 2016.
