Inserted update, 27/08/2: The first indications of a song called Buttercup Joe being performed in the halls predate by a few months Moore’s attempts to establish his authorship. Notices in The Era suggest it was sung in Liverpool and Dublin by “ characteristic comedian and vocalist Ernest Robson” ( The Era, Feb 25, 1872; May 5, 1872.)] We have continued to undertake an extensive programme of external engagement. In the past year, we have consulted stakeholders on a variety of policy issues relating to the RTGS and CHAPS live services. Through the Strategic Advisory Forum, we have regularly engaged on issues such as the delivery of the renewed RTGS service (including on changes to the delivery timelines); our approach to recovering the costs of the renewed RTGS service; retail fraud in the context of CHAPS; and our ongoing work around operational resilience. Reserves held in reserves accounts in RTGS – under the Bank’s Sterling Monetary Framework – are remunerated at Bank Rate. RTGS therefore acts as the platform through which monetary policy decisions are implemented. Work to refresh the CHAPS Reference Manual is now complete; a new version took effect in January 2022. The new CRM should better support the delivery of a more proportionate and efficient assurance process for the Bank and CHAPS Direct Participants. This is critical as we expect the number of CHAPS Direct Participants to increase after the delivery of the RTGS Renewal Programme. Settlement contingency planning

The Renewal Executive Board will regularly report progress on the delivery of the Programme to Court and the RTGS/CHAPS Board. It will take into account the strategic decisions made by the RTGS/CHAPS Board, including on risk tolerances, and its views on industry readiness and any material implications for the Programme arising from industry engagement and industry demand for changes in functionality and new products. CHAPS volumes have more than recovered from 2020 levels, in line with economic recovery from the initial Covid outbreak. This 2022–24 strategy will be based on continuing to deliver safe, resilient and well-run core RTGS and CHAPS services and continuing preparations for the transition to the renewed RTGS system. The Bank plans to start recovering Programme costs around the time of the cut-over to a new core settlement engine for the renewed RTGS service, which is planned for Spring 2024. 2.2: Strategy setting Where an error or ambiguity is evident and making an update to the documentation will provide a clear and significant benefit to users of the messages and/or the Bank;Throughout the Covid pandemic, we have continued to play our role in serving the UK economy. Our focus has remained on ensuring that we were able to continue to provide the live RTGS and CHAPS services to a high standard. We regularly review our priorities and, where appropriate, phasing of certain activities.

Further enhance the operational resilience of the RTGS and CHAPS services, aiming to achieve best-in-class standards. The current enhanced message schemas are up-to-date and align with the latest international market practice. These are the message schemas that CHAPS Direct Participants and Settlement and Reserves Account Holders should implement and develop against, in line with the ISO 20022 approach and timelines as set out in this section and Section 1. Publication on Standards Source In the first six months of 2023, the average daily volume was 204,935, an increase of 1.2% from January - June 2022.We are enthusiastic about blurring the boundaries between fashion and country sporting heritage. In our country and equestrian shop, we are proud to offer horse-riding attire as well as an expansive collection of men’s, women’s and kids' casual clothing. You’ll find carefully curated ranges of clothing and footwear from Dubarry, Hunter, Joules, and more.

Around the end of 2022, we will publish a response to the consultation on the post-2024 roadmap for RTGS, which sought views on enhancements to support competition and innovation such as alternative networks, extended operating hours and synchronisation. Given the changes underway, the number of slots available to join CHAPS has reduced during the transition period to the renewed RTGS service. The final slots ahead of the introduction of a new core settlement engine for RTGS in summer 2024 have been allocated. The next available joining date for CHAPS is unlikely to be until the second half of 2024. In the meantime, we continue to welcome expressions of interest for direct access to CHAPS from eligible organisations who want to understand the relevant rules and future technical requirements with a view to being ready to join from 2024 onwards. There is a Bank-wide risk management framework, complemented by a local framework specific to RTGS and CHAPS. In line with the governance arrangements outlined above, the RTGS/CHAPS Board has delegated the setting (and monitoring) of the RTGS and CHAPS risk management framework and risk profiles to the RTGS/CHAPS Board Risk Committee. This Risk Committee is also responsible for monitoring the RTGS and CHAPS risk tolerances – consistent with the overall Bank risk tolerance. It provides assurance to the Board that the Bank is fulfilling its risk management responsibilities as the operator of the RTGS and CHAPS systems. It also plays a key role in providing strategic steer and challenge on the risk framework’s design and implementation. In delivering our agreed strategy, we aim to provide services that, in addition to being value for money, are based around four key themes:

Is Boxing the Best Martial Art?

External engagement covers financial institutions with direct and indirect access to CHAPS, and other RTGS users. We engage through bilateral and industry wide discussions, for example, through our Strategic Advisory Forum and relevant trade associations.

The Bank has a strong focus on making its infrastructure as stable as possible, targeting availability for at least 99.95% of its defined operating hours. RTGS availability in 2021/22 was in excess of 99.99%. Be a participant within the definition set out in the Financial Markets and Insolvency Regulations 1999 The renewed RTGS service will be built to support a substantial increase in the number of CHAPS direct participants – with a simpler and more proportionate joining process than now. For example, testing will be streamlined for new joiners as well as existing CHAPS direct participants. Better integrating the various components and activities within the framework eg in relation to the setting of tolerance, the approach to risk assessments, and improvements to the risk register and controls library. The Era (October 1873) has Buttercup Joe being sung by Charles Laurie (sic) at The Canterbury: “ a comic singer of more than ordinary merit, pleased the people greatly with a personation of a country chap called “Buttercup Joe” and dancing“. This could be Charles Lauri Snr (1823-89) or Charles Lauri Jnr (1848-1904), both members of the sketch group, The Lauri Troupe.

The most recent self‐assessment for the RTGS and CHAPS services was concluded at 31 October 2021. Overall, we self‐assessed that the Bank had achieved ‘observed’ status for all but one of the principles relevant to the Bank’s RTGS and CHAPS services. The exception was ‘ Principle 3 – Framework for the comprehensive management of risks’ where we remained ‘broadly observed’ for our 2021 self-assessment, based on a continued conservative view that some further enhancements are required and a small number of risk management processes need time to further mature. This is to ensure that our risk management approach across all three risk domains is sufficiently consistent and integrated, enabling us to enhance the extent to which we can aggregate and consider risk in a more holistic manner. The next PFMI self-assessment has a point of assessment of 31 October 2022 and will be published afterwards. The best part is these are accessories, so you can layer them over just about anything! Just watch out for clipping with wider leg pants. ❤️ We published a consultation response setting out the final recommended UK Purpose Code List and the Bank’s approach to implementing the list in CHAPS. There also is a possibility that Moore’s Buttercup Joe is a different song, but the reports of the singing of Buttercup Joe in the 1875 from The Era indicate it was at the very least a song with a similar chorus… The line I can reap I can sow is quoted (see the cutting below)… It was clearly widely sung at that time as only 2 years later, The Era (May 30, 1875) describes a disappointing performance by Mr Will Barnes at the Royal in London, suggesting that “ Buttercup Joe” has been “ done to death“: The Era May 30 1875
