English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill​: Devolution Framework Explainers

​​The Devolution Framework Explainers set out the statutory functions of Strategic Authorities as set out in the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill and other legislation.​

The Devolution Framework Explainers set out the statutory functions of Strategic Authorities as set out in the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill and other legislation. As set out in the Devolution Framework in the English Devolution White Paper, different categories of Strategic Authorities are also guaranteed access to other non-statutory offers, including partnership and funding arrangements.

The Explainer for Established Mayoral Strategic Authorities also shows how the statutory functions apply to the Greater London Authority (GLA) which was set up differently to other Mayoral Strategic Authorities and has a different devolution settlement. This means the powers and duties in the devolution framework will be applied to the GLA on a case-by-case basis.

TSI008100 - Requirements of Temporary Storage: What is an operator responsible for
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-24)


This manual will be archived on 15 December 2025. If there is content within this manual you use regularly, email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know.

For ease of reference 'temporary storage approval holder' will be known as 'operator'

a. the operator will be accountable for losses under their guarantee in place and for goods unlawfully removed from temporary storage. The Temporary Storage Facility operator’s responsibility for customs debt at the point they take control of the inventory record for goods moving by MiTS/MtTS, this will be before they receipt the goods into their TSF. This differs from transit movements into the TSF for which any customs debt is covered by the transit guarantor during movement to the Temporary Storage Facility.

b. other than in circumstances referred to in (a) above an operator's liability arises when a failure to fulfil an obligation under their approval results in a debt. The operator may be solely liable for the debt or there may be a joint and several liabilities with others depending on the circumstances. Cases needed to be considered on merit.

c. the operator will be held liable for the debt for goods that have gone missing from his approved premises. Only in extreme circumstances and provided Customs are satisfied that reasonable security was taken should the operator not be held responsible for the debt. An example of such circumstances is an armed robbery or raid.

d. the operator will be held responsible for the goods whilst they are being moved to another Temporary Storage Facility until they have reached their destination or else otherwise stated in their approval. This exists only with MiTS/MtTs and then only at the point their CSP takes control of the Temporary Storage Declaration for the goods.

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 Sun Academy Bradwell 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 Sun Academy Bradwell 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 Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
We also pledge the following:

-We actively promote remembrance to our pupils and to the wider community by participating in the act of remembrance at Sun academy and support the Royal British Legion. We hold a remembrance service at the academy to remember the fallen in WW2 and all who fell in past and present wars

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 CMA operates a leniency policy under which businesses and individuals that provide evidence of cartel activity and co-operate with the CMA’s investigation can benefit from a reduction in or, in some circumstances, complete immunity from penalties.

The guidance on ‘applications for leniency and no-action in cartel cases’ sets out how the CMA will handle applications for leniency from both businesses and individuals.

The ‘short guide to cartels and leniency for businesses’ explains that businesses that have engaged in cartel activity and their directors and employees can benefit from reporting and providing evidence of a cartel.

The ‘short guide to cartels and leniency for individuals’ provides an overview of how an individual involved in cartel activity might be able to obtain immunity from director disqualification and/or immunity from prosecution from the cartel offence.

DANSP12600 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/decision-and-appeals-for-national-insurance-contributions-and-statutory-payments/dansp12600) explains the general principles of when to issue a notice of decision. When dealing with statutory payments decisions make them when
- for Statutory Sick Pay and Statutory Maternity Pay regulations 2 and 3 of the Statutory Sick Pay and Statutory Maternity Pay (Decisions) Regulations 1999 (SI 1999 No 776) (Great Britain) or the Statutory Sick Pay and Statutory Maternity Pay (Decisions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999 (SR 1999 No 159) refer,
- for Statutory Paternity Pay and Statutory Adoption Pay regulations 12 and 13 of the Statutory Paternity Pay and Statutory Adoption Pay (Administration) Regulations 2002 (SI 2002 No 2820) (Great Britain) or the Statutory Paternity Pay and Statutory Adoption Pay (Administration) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002 (SR 2002 No 379) refer,
- For Statutory Shared Parental Pay and Statutory Parental Bereavement Pay the legislative references are regulations 12 and 13 of the Statutory Shared Parental Pay (Administration) Regulations 2014 (2014 No. 2929) and regulations 12 and 13 of the Statutory Parental Bereavement Pay (Administration) Regulations 2020 (2020 No. 246) refer,
- For Statutory Neonatal Care Pay the legislative references are regulations 12 and 13 of the Statutory Neonatal Care Pay (Administration) Regulations 2025 (2025 No. 206) refer,
- the decision maker at Jobcentre Plus (Great Britain) or the Jobs and Benefit Office (Northern Ireland) on behalf of the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Great Britain) or the Department for Social Development in Northern Ireland, asks for a decision because he has an Employment and Support Allowance, Jobseeker’s Allowance or Maternity Allowance claim and thinks that statutory payments (SP) might be payable instead. Regulations 2 and 3 of the Statutory Sick Pay and Statutory Maternity Pay (Decisions) Regulations 1999 (SI 1999 No 776) refer.
- an HMRC Officer decides that there is a question to resolve, for example while visiting employers to check their operation of the SP schemes. In these circumstances an HMRC Officer may offer an initial opinion before giving a formal decision.
- 100% of Statutory Maternity Pay, Statutory Paternity Pay, Statutory Adoption Pay, Statutory Shared Parental Pay, Statutory Parental Bereavement Pay or Statutory Neonatal Care Pay plus National Insurance contributions compensation of 8.5% under small employer relief rules (rate which applied for the 2025 to 2026 tax year), see SPM182100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/statutory-payments-manual/spm182100) .

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 Evolve Security Risk Management Consultants 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 Evolve Security Risk Management Consultants 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
- UK Cadets
- Armed 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.

INCHP02180 - General: application of rules for acceptance of entries in specific cases

This manual will be archived on 15 December 2025. If there is content within this manual you use regularly, email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know.

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.

The following rules explain their application in specific instances:
- if a ship is to discharge all its cargo at one location into a transit shed, onto a wharf or overside, entries for all the goods carried by the ship may be accepted when one cable connects the vessel to the point of discharge
- if the ship is to discharge at more than one location within the port entries for all goods to be discharge at that port can be accepted when the ship arrives at its first point of discharge. The Grade 7s discretion is necessary to avoid improper use such as securing at a buoy in mid channel and throwing one sack into a rowing boat. Discharge must be genuine in order to conform to the legislation
- entries may be accepted in an Inland Clearance Depot (ICD) when the ship arrives at its first port of discharge in the port of unloading of the goods concerned. Ports will be designated as places of unloading for goods that are to carry-on to an ICD. Physical examination will normally be at the ICD, though it could be at the initial port of discharge if the Grade 7 so rules for preventative or other reasons
- for goods that are to be carried coastwise in another vessel, a vehicle or by rail etc entry in the first port would be permitted under a. and b. above, entry into the second port under c. (as if the second port were an ICD). Examination normally takes place at the second port, though the liability for examination at the first port would still exist
- for goods carried coastwise in the importing ship no entry for on-carried goods would be permitted until the ship arrived at the second or subsequent port. The intention to discharge must exist if we are to maintain that a real and effective examination will be possible
- lighter aboard ship (LASH) barges are to be considered as imported and entries for their contents accepted, when the carrying ship reaches its point of discharge, and
- if a ship is unable to berth immediately at its intended point of discharge it may tie up in a waiting berth. As long as this berth has reasonable access from dry land, arrival at the berth may be accepted for entry purposes for all cargo intended to be discharges in that port. A buoy is not an acceptable waiting berth.
Note: In this paragraph the term 'entry' refers to any document which when accepted determines the rate of duty etc which is to be applied to the goods.

Source: gov.uk (2025-10-15)


Reissue of determinations already issued

You can request the reissue of a penalty determination using function RPEN (Request Reissue Of Penalty Determination) where, for example, one is returned undelivered by Royal Mail.

You should not attempt to reissue penalty determinations other than by using function RPEN.

Suppressed output is not issued, so it cannot be re-issued using RPEN.

Retain any notices returned by Royal Mail

Top of page (#Top)

Issue of determinations made but not issued because address RLS

If the RLS signal was set on the COTAX record when a penalty determination was prepared, COTAX automatically issues it when a new address is entered. You cannot use function RPEN until the determination has been issued.

You cannot use functions PPEN (Prepare Penalty Determination) or RPEN to produce a duplicate determination when, for example, a company acknowledges receipt but has subsequently mislaid the notice. In these circumstances, you should provide a copy determination by using the [Print] button in function DPEN (Display Penalty). COM101030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com101030) has further information.
