Content of the submission: item cannot be empty (IR.01.01, Bank of England rule IR_bv0718_03)

A blocking check on the content of the submission template (IR.01.01), in the quarterly group (QRG) return.

The rule in plain words

Item cannot be empty

This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit. It runs only when your filing indicators mark IR.01.01 as reported.
