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 Electus Recruitment Solutions 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 Electus Recruitment Solutions 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
- 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.

UK-India CETA Chapter 17: State-Owned Enterprises
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-24)

Text of chapter 17 of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and India.

This chapter demonstrates the UK’s commitment to working with trading partners to promote free and fair trade and tackle unfair practices.

Businesses owned or controlled by governments and engaged in commercial activities are often known as SOEs (state-owned enterprises). Unfair commercial practices by SOEs undermine trust in the rules-based trading system and prevent UK businesses from competing fairly.

The chapter includes commitments that SOEs should operate in accordance with commercial practices, and includes provisions on appropriate means to raise concerns. The chapter also promotes co-operation between UK and Indian authorities on the corporate governance of SOEs and provides for appropriate means to raise concerns where they arise.

The chapter will ensure that UK SOEs, particularly those providing public services, can continue to operate as they do now.

The agreement is not yet in force. Both the UK and India are required to complete their respective domestic procedures for the agreement to come into effect. Once ratified by both countries, businesses will be able to trade under its terms.

On exit from tonnage tax: Variations in share of partnership property

TTM13420 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm13420) and TTM13440 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm13440) describe the way that the other partners’ future entitlement to capital allowances may be affected when one of the partners leaves tonnage tax. In both cases the adjustment required is based upon the tonnage tax companies’ share in partnership property (amount ‘A’ in the formulae). If there has been a variation in that company’s share in partnership property in the six years preceding the point at which adjustment is made, the figure to be used is the average of the company’s share over that period instead. If the company has been a corporate partner, or has been a tonnage tax company, for less than six years, then the figure to be used is the average of the company’s share over the period from the later of these two events to the time when the adjustment is needed.

Importing investigational medicinal products into Great Britain from approved countries
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-12)

Outlining the principles for the management and oversight of the import of investigational medicinal products (IMPs) to Great Britain from listed countries.

Sponsors of UK clinical trials that import investigational medicinal products (IMPs) into Great Britain from outside the UK will need to review their existing supply chains.

Where the product is sourced from a country on the ‘approved country for import list’, this will require a UK Manufacturing and Import Authorisation (MIA(IMP)) holder to put in place an assurance system to check these IMPs have been certified by a Qualified Person (QP) in a listed country, before release to trial sites. The list of approved countries will initially include all EU and EEA countries.

IMPs imported into Great Britain from outside the UK that have been QP certified in a listed country will not require recertification in Great Britain.

The purpose of this guidance is to describe the principles for the management and oversight of the import of IMPs to Great Britain from listed countries.

ATACPD09200 - National Carnet Unit (NCU): customs debts - making application to the LCCI

Circumstances where a customs debt arises (#IDAQWBQC)Informing the LCCI (#IDAOSBQC)Action by the LCCI (#IDA2XBQC)

Circumstances where a customs debt arises

When a white re-exportation voucher is not received by the due date, one of a number of possibilities exists:
- the goods have been diverted to free circulation without authorisation
- the goods have been re-exported but the carnet has not been presented at re-export
- the office of exit from the UK has failed to forward the re-exportation voucher to the National Carnet Unit (NCU).
Experience has shown that the latter is the most common reason for queries.

However, as no office of exit is stipulated on the carnet, it is not possible to go to a specific responsible customs office in another Member State to chase up the non-receipt of the voucher.

The non-receipt of a white re-exportation voucher in the absence of any other evidence of eligible disposal creates a customs debt that must be actioned immediately.

Informing the LCCI

Although a customs debt has been incurred, the quantified debt should not be immediately notified to the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) The first step is to notify them that a white re-exportation voucher has not been received using the standard template (ATACPD15000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/ata-cpd-carnets/atacpd15000)).

The LCCI will then attempt to establish the whereabouts of the goods. They have a total of nine months to do this otherwise the customs debt becomes final. Acceptable evidence of export includes:
- A certificate of location - this is a statement provided by the authorities in the issuing country as to the precise location of the goods in question.
- An importation/ re-importation voucher into another customs territory after the date of the importation voucher held.
- Other satisfactory documentary proof that the goods are outside the UK.
The important thing to remember is that provided the evidence satisfies the NCU that the goods have left the UK (rather than returned to the country that issued the carnet) and evidence been given in time then there is no customs debt.

Action by the LCCI

The LCCI have six months from the date of notification by the NCU in which to contact the authorities in the country of issue and establish that the goods have left the UK. If, at the end of this period, no satisfactory evidence has been provided, the LCCI must provide customs with a deposit covering the debt. They then have another period of three months to provide the required level of evidence.

If satisfactory evidence cannot be produced, the NCU must issue the LCCI with a C18 for the import duty and import VAT due and bring the deposit to account.

Note: Any evidence of eligible disposal received after the debt has been brought to account cannot be accepted.

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 CLYDE BERGEMANN INVESTMENTS 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 CLYDE BERGEMANN INVESTMENTS 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
We also pledge the following:

any additional commitments Clyde Bergemann Ltd could make (based on local circumstances)

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.
