My corporate travel department booked me in paid C LAX-LHR-HAM on BA for September. I know that you cannot accrue AA miles on transatlantic flights. Can you earn HP miles on transatlantic flights? What about the LHR-HAM-LHR legs?

I'm sorry if these questions have been posted ad nauseum, but I did a search, and I couldn't find a clear answer.
You will get a minimum of 25% mileage for your LHR-HAM flight. In April of this year I flew BA (actually code shared and operated by SN) from LGW-BRU on a discounted coach ticket and got 25% of the miles.
