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 Falmouth Town Council 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 Falmouth Town Council 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
- Armed Forces Charities
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.

Documents relating to the independent review that is considering the specific allegations made and Tees Valley Combined Authority's oversight of the South Tees Development Corporation and Teesworks Joint Venture.

On 25 May 2023 the government commissioned an independent review (https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2023-05-25/hcws813) to consider the specific allegations made and Tees Valley Combined Authority’s oversight of the South Tees Development Corporation and Teesworks Joint Venture.

On 29 January 2024 the then Minister for Housing, Planning and Building Safety, Lee Rowley MP announced in an oral statement (https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2024-01-29/debates/DDB181A7-D443-40B0-90C6-2F50F828BF53/TeesworksJointVenture) that the report from the independent review panel, chaired by Angie Ridgwell, had been published.

On 28 February 2024 the mayor’s initial response to the review was received and it was published on 7 March 2024.

In September 2024, the mayor submitted an update on progress to the Deputy Prime Minister. On 3 April 2025, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government issued the Tees Valley Combined Authority with a Best Value Notice (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tees-valley-combined-authority-best-value-notice-april-2025) setting out government’s concerns regarding the authority and requesting the authority takes further actions to improve and engage with the department.

Statutory intervention: London Borough of Croydon
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-17)

Documents related to the statutory intervention at the London Borough of Croydon.

This page collates all the publications relating to the statutory intervention at the London Borough of Croydon.

The Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Local Government and Building Safety, Lee Rowley MP, announced in a written ministerial statement (https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2023-03-16/hcws638) on 16 March 2023 that the Secretary of State is ‘minded to’ intervene in the London Borough of Croydon. The council and other interested parties were invited to make representations on the proposed intervention package by 30 March.

Following consideration of these representations, on 20 July 2023, the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, the Rt Hon Michael Gove MP, announced in a written ministerial statement (https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2023-07-20/hcws985) that he was intervening in the London Borough of Croydon by issuing Directions to strengthen the remit of the London Borough of Croydon Improvement and Assurance Panel and moving it to a statutory footing. He would also be appointing Brian Roberts OBE and Pamela Leonce to the Panel to respectively lead on the individual priority areas of finance and housing.

On 24 January 2024 the department published the latest report from the Improvement and Assurance Panel on progress at the London Borough of Croydon alongside the ministerial response to Tony McArdle OBE. There is no change to the status of the intervention, but ministers will keep the existing arrangements under review.

On 12 December 2024 the Minister for Local Government and English Devolution, Jim McMahon OBE MP, announced in a written ministerial statement (https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2024-12-12/hcws307) the publication of the Improvement and Assurance Panel’s eighth report and subsequent letter, and the accompanying ministerial response.

On 12 June 2025, the Minister for Local Government and English Devolution, Jim McMahon OBE MP, announced in a written ministerial statement (https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2025-06-12/hcws697) the publication of the Improvement and Assurance Panel’s ninth report and that he was minded to exercise powers of direction under section 15(5) and 15(6) of the Local Government Act 1999, to ensure London Borough of Croydon’s compliance with the Best Value Duty. He also invited representations from the Council and other interested parties on both the report, and the proposal for a statutory support package by 25 June.

On 17 July 2025 the Minister of State for Local Government and English Devolution, after consideration of the representations received, confirmed in a written ministerial statement (https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2025-07-17/hcws845) the decision to use powers under the Local Government Act 1999 and issued new Directions to the London Borough of Croydon and appointed Commissioners.
Decentralised Manufacture: Marketing Authorisation application
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-10)

Guidance on applying for a Marketing Authorisation for Decentralised Manufacture, including eligibility, process, and requirements.

A Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) that references Decentralised Manufacture (DM) (either in part or in whole of the manufacturing process) is enabled by award of a DM designation which confirms that in the view of the MHRA, the legal test for DM is justified in the context of the medicinal product. The application process for DM designation is detailed in The designation step (#the-designation-step).

The MAA should include evidence of DM designation. It should be confirmed that the information that was provided in support of the DM designation remains unchanged. Where a significant change has been made to the supporting information, a new DM designation should be sought.

Ideally, the Manufacturing Licence (MIA) for the Control Site should be appropriately scoped for DM at the point of submission. However if this process has not yet completed, this will not preclude submission and validation of a MAA. The Applicant should note that failure to provide a current and appropriately-scoped Certificate of GMP Compliance no later than the response to Request for Information may result in refusal of the MAA.

The general principles of product development, manufacture, and control continue to apply.

Process validation and/or extended characterisation information may also be required to demonstrate comparability between batches and/or manufacturing locations; the extent of data required will be more substantial for more complex or potentially variable products.

In cases where principles of Real Time Release Testing (RTRT) are proposed, information demonstrating enhanced product and process knowledge should be provided that supports this approach. Results of representative process validation for multiple batches made at a representative scale covering critical manufacturing steps should be provided in section P.3.5. The RTRT strategy should be based on a firm understanding of the manufacturing process and of the relationship between process parameters, in-process controls and finished drug product attributes. Further information about the principles of RTRT are described in the Guideline on Real Time Release Testing (formerly guideline on parametric release) (https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/real-time-release-testing-scientific-guideline) and also from a GMP perspective in Eudralex Vol 4 Annex 17 on ‘RTRT and Parametric Release’ (https://health.ec.europa.eu/document/download/78d31fc9-760f-4fe9-9ccd-95595ef48a71_en?filename=2018_annex17_en.pdf).

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 Maximus UK Services 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 Maximus UK Services 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

We also pledge the following:

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.

Numbers of applications, examinations, appeals and orders that have been received, decided and allowed, on a quarterly and annual basis.

The administration of Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project applications have relied on spreadsheets for casework management, into which casework records are manually entered, reviewed and updated. The Planning Inspectorate is currently building an improved casework management system and, alongside that, is additionally creating an improved process for processing and reporting on data. This involves a review of data held in multiple sources that was previously published as Official Statistics and on the Nationally Significant Infrastructure website.
