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 Twin Systems PLC 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 Twin Systems PLC 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

Southport Inquiry: terms of reference
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-06)

Terms of reference for the independent inquiry to establish an account of the events leading up to the 2024 Southport attack and make recommendations.

On 29 July 2024, Axel Rudakubana carried out a brutal knife attack at a children’s dance club in Southport. He murdered 3 young girls, Elsie Dot Stancombe, Alice da Silva Aguiar and Bebe King, and injured 10 other people. Sixteen others survived the attack but live with the serious emotional consequences.

It is of vital importance that there is a clear understanding of how this was able to happen, and the lessons identified, so that we can take appropriate steps to minimise the risk of a future tragedy. This statutory inquiry has been established to achieve this.

Environment Agency completes £75m flood scheme in Essex
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-04)

The Environment Agency has completed a £75 million project to reduce the risk of flooding at Canvey Island in Essex.

Much of Canvey Island lies below the daily high-water level in the Thames Estuary. The tidal defences play an essential role in reducing the risk of flooding to people, property and infrastructure on the island.

Since 2022, a 3 kilometre stretch of the island’s revetment has been renewed on its southern shoreline between Thorney Bay and the Island Yacht Club.

Revetment refers to the man-made material placed on the slope of the embankment. It is needed to break up and absorb the impact of waves hitting the slope and to protect the material making up the core of the embankment.

Sections of the previous revetment had dated back to the 1930s and desperately needed replacing.

With the work now completed, the island’s tidal defences will continue to provide protection for more than 6,000 properties on the island for another 50 years.

Project ‘essential’ for managing flood risk

James Mason, Operations Manager for the Environment Agency, said:

We are delighted to have finished the work on the revetment at Canvey Island.

This project is essential to managing the risk of flooding for thousands of people, homes and businesses.

We are already seeing the effects of climate change in the UK. We’re working to better protect communities from this risk, with climate change projection built into the design of flood defences, such as here in Canvey Island, to ensure they are fit for the future.

As well as refurbishing the existing tidal defences, additional enhancements have been made to the Canvey Island shoreline.

As part of the project, new steps to the beach and project information boards were installed. The surface of the pathway along the landward side of the seawall between Thorney Bay and Chapman Sands was also improved.

Flowering grass seed mixes were planted to improve biodiversity on the defence with rock pools also created to enhance habitats in locations along the foreshore.

Everyone should know their flood risk and sign up for free flood warnings by going to https://www.gov.uk/check-flood-risk or calling Floodline on xx-xxxx-xxxx. You can also follow @EnvAgencyAnglia on Twitter for the latest flood updates.

Aggregation of declarations and its effect on Period of Discharge and due date of Bill of Discharge 1
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-30)

Information on the aggregation of declaration and its effect on Period of Discharge and due date of Bill of Discharge 1.

Monthly aggregation

Monthly is the default which means that for all declarations made to full inward processing authorisation within a given month, the Period of Discharge begins on the last day of the month.

for example, all goods declared to IP in January start their Period of Discharge on the last day of the month, 31 January. If the Period of Discharge is 6 months, then all goods declared in January will expire their Period of Discharge on the 31 July. The importer then has 30 days to submit their Bill of Discharge, which means the BoD 1 should be received by the Supervising Customs Office no later than 30 August.

Quarterly aggregation

Quarterly aggregation is granted if the Supervising Customs Office is confident the importer can account for goods on a quarterly basis.

Quarterly means all declarations to IP within a 3 month period begin their Period of Discharge on the last day of the third month.

For example, all goods declared to IP in January, February and March start their Period of Discharge on the last day of the third month, 31 March. If the Period of Discharge is 6 months, then for all goods declared in January, February and March will expire their Period of Discharge on the 30 September. The importer then has 30 days to submit their BoD, which means the BoD 1 should be received by the Supervising Customs Office no later than 30 October.

We will accept a schedule attached to the BoD provided that all the information (evidence of discharge) below is included:
- the reference particulars of the authorisation
- the quantity of each type of goods which were placed under the special procedure in respect of which discharge is claimed
- the commodity code of the goods which were placed under the special procedure
- the rate of import duties to which the goods which were placed under the special procedure are liable and, where applicable, their customs value
- the particulars of the customs declarations placing goods under the special procedure
- the type and quantity of the processed products or the goods placed under the procedure and particulars of the subsequent customs declaration or any other document relating to the discharge of the procedure
- the commodity code and the customs value of the processed products if the value scale method is used for the purpose of discharge
- the rate of yield
- the amount of import duty to be paid
- the periods for discharge
Failure to provide the above information will be considered as failure to submit a BoD and may result in Civil Penalty action against the authorisation holder.

Importers have 30 days from the end of the Period for Discharge to lodge their BoD. The authorisation holder is responsible for ensuring BoD form is received by the Supervising Office by the due dates. Failure to do so may result in the procedure being refused. No reminders will be issued by the Supervising Office.

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 Envoy Training 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 Envoy Training 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:
- 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
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.

IEIM8000560 - Reportable retail payment transactions
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-04)


The term “Reportable Retail Payment Transaction” (RRPT) means a transfer of relevant cryptoassets in consideration of goods or services for a value exceeding USD 50,000.

Transfers for goods and services exceeding USD 50,000:

Whether such a transfer is reported as a RRPT depends on the person the RCASP is acting on behalf of and anti-money laundering rules.
- If the RCASP is acting on behalf of the customer, then it is reported as a RRPT under Section II (3)(f) of the rules, with the customer as the cryptoasset user.
- If the RCASP is acting on behalf of the merchant and the RCASP is not required to verify the customer under anti-money laundering (AML) rules it is reported as a transfer under (3)(g) of the rules with the merchant as the cryptoasset user.
- However, if the RCASP is acting on behalf of the merchant and the RCASP is required to verify the customer under anti-money laundering (AML) it is to report as both (i) a Transfer under (3)(g) of Section II of the rules with the merchant as the cryptoasset user, and (ii) a RRPT under (3)(f) of Section II of the rules with the customer as the cryptoasset user.
Transfers for goods and services not exceeding USD 50,000:

For transfers not exceeding USD 50,000 these are reported as transfers of relevant cryptoassets under (3)(g) or (h) of Section II of the rules. If the RCASP is acting on behalf of the merchant, it is reported as a transfer to the merchant under (3)(g). If the RCASP is acting on behalf of the customer, it is reported as a transfer by the customer under (3)(h).
