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 JAMES LEGAL 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 JAMES LEGAL 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
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
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.

The Security Minister has appointed Sarah Pumfrett as a non-executive director of the Security Industry Authority.

Sarah is a Chartered Certified Accountant (FCCA), Chartered Internal Auditor (CMIIA), and Specialist Member of the Institute of Risk Management (SIRM). She spent her executive career as an internal auditor and business risk assurance professional, travelling internationally and specialising in the ‘GRACE’ (Governance, Risk Management, Assurance, Controls and Efficiency) subjects across a broad range of business and corporate functions.

Sarah became a portfolio non-executive in 2020. She currently holds board roles with, and chairs, the audit and risk assurance committees of the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, and the UK Space Agency. She also chairs Disclosure Scotland’s Audit and Risk Committee and is an independent member of the Scottish Fiscal Commission’s Audit and Risk Committee.

SIA Chair Heather Baily said:

I am delighted to welcome Sarah to the Board of the SIA. I know her previous experience, as well as her understanding of the current issues relevant to our partners in Scotland, will add real value to the deliberations and decision-making of the Board.

Sarah took up her appointment on 13 October 2025.

Note: This manual is under review following Brexit and is likely to be withdrawn. If there is anything within this manual you use regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know. Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC.

Routing of entries

The initial routing of an entry is determined by the computer and is shown on the entry acceptance advice (output E2 or H2) that the trader must attach to the entry.

Routing codes

There are new entry routings which were introduced for the new arrangements for processing entries subject to Trading Standards controls. See CIP (2015) 07.

A combination of numeric and alphabetic codes are used to identify specific functions. These are:

Route 0

Awaiting a response from another government system before the route is determined.

Route 1

Requiring the supporting documentation to be examined.

Route 2

Requiring goods and documents to be examined.

Route 3

Which implies automatic clearance after a short period of time during which the documentation must be submitted and Customs have the opportunity to examine it.

Route 6

CFSP. Paperless declaration with the entry being given immediate clearance, ie zero time out.

Non CFSP

No paper declaration held by Customs. Allocated to authorised Paying Agents, where entry is Route 3 and there is no Customs checks.

Other routes that may be allocated are:

Route H

has always applied to pre-lodged Entries (with no un-resolved Front End Credibility (FEC) failures)

Route E

applies to Entries with stored data linked to them

Route F

applies to Entries with un-resolved FEC failures

Routes 2/5, 1/5 and 5

are equivalent to routes 2, 1 and 3 Entries where the method of payment includes 'cash'.

CHIEF does not allow clearance while the Route of an Entry is 'E', 'F' or 'H'.

Import Clearance Status (ICS) codes

ICS codes are an integral part of the processing of the entry. They add to the information provided by the route codes and are a means of indicating to the Direct Trader Input (DTI) trader, and to Customs, the stage of processing of the entry.

They are also used to stop automatic clearance of an entry when necessary.

After clearance they are a useful source of management information.

Evaluation Strategies from UK government departments
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-10)

The Evaluation Task Force showcases evaluation strategies from departments to demonstrate our commitment to government reform.

Why publish an Evaluation Strategy?

Evaluation strategies set out a department’s commitment to undertake and learn from evaluation activity. Evaluation is a key part of good policy making in a learning environment.

Published evaluation strategies demonstrate a public commitment to undertaking high-quality and appropriate evaluation, which helps build stakeholder and public trust in policymaking, promote efficiency in public expenditure, and demonstrate transparency.

What is an Evaluation Strategy?

An Evaluation Strategy sets out a department’s strategic commitment to evaluation, including:

the department’s vision and overarching goals for evaluation;

the department’s approach to identifying and prioritising areas for evaluation activity;

how the department uses evaluation results;

a commitment to robust evaluation methods, with experimental methods, considered the default; and

commitments to the timely publication of evaluation plans (including communication plans) and trial protocols, results, and datasets.

BLM20140 - Defining long funding leases: basic definition: lease accounted for as lease under GAAP (CAA01/S70K (2))
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-28)


This manual is being updated to reflect FRS 102 (2024 amendments). For guidance on the tax treatment of accounts prepared under IFRS 16 or the revised FRS 102, please refer to pages within the BLM50000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm50000) chapter.

The first of the definitions in CAA01/S70K is that a plant or machinery lease is an agreement or arrangement
- under which a person grants to another person the right to use plant or machinery for a period, and
- which, in accordance with GAAP, falls (or would fall) to be treated as a lease.
The first leg of this definition refers to the legal concept of a ‘lease’ and the second leg refers to being accounted for as a lease under SSAP 21 or IAS 17 (BLM10012 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm10012)). Note that not all leases are accounted for as leases, and that the second leg of this definition does not automatically follow from the fact the transaction is a lease.

A lease is treated under GAAP as a lease if it is accounted for as a lease following the principles in SSAP 21 or IAS 17. Both SSAP 21 and IAS 17 may apply to transactions that are treated as if they were leases (BLM20145 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm20145)).

A lease is not treated as a lease if, for example
- it is accounted for as a service concession (for UK GAAP, FRS 5, Application Note F; for IFRS, IFRIC 12 (BLM20150 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm20150))
- the transactions do not convey the right to use an asset for an agreed period of time, that is the arrangement does not have the substance of a lease (for UK GAAP, FRS 5; for IFRS, SIC 27)
- the transaction is accounted for under IAS 39 as a financial asset or liability, or under another relevant standard, for example IAS 18, by virtue of it not being treated as a lease under SIC 27.

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 Treefrog Designs 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 Treefrog Designs 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.

A consultation on the subject level conditions, requirements and guidance for GCSEs in British Sign Language (BSL).

To see this information in British Sign Language (BSL) format, please watch our series of videos (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZR3Blpi-naMm0Y2xs7mClCL3TIWEG7Ui).

Ofqual has consulted on the detailed rules that an exam board would need to follow when designing a GCSE qualification in BSL. This consultation explains and seeks views on a range of requirements that cover:
- the language and accessibility of the assessments
- vocabulary and grammar
- prohibiting access to dictionaries
- the use of stimulus materials
- the assessment objectives (wording and guidance)
- forms of non-exam assessment (the structure, composition and conduct of the non-exam assessments)
It also seeks views on the specific wording of the draft subject level conditions, requirements and guidance.

This is Ofqual’s second consultation on arrangements for the assessment of GCSEs in BSL. Interested parties might wish to view the previous consultation, as well as the Department for Education (DfE) consultation and published subject content, to put these proposals in context. These can be viewed here:
