Written Evidence from Spotlight on Corruption1 (PGG18) the Public
Written evidence from Spotlight on Corruption1 (PGG18) The Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee Propriety of governance in light of Greensill inquiry Introduction The revelations arising from the Greensill affair and its fallout, coming alongside other recent and ongoing scandals, have exposed significant weaknesses in the UK system for managing conflicts of interest, lobbying, and business appointments. This is a vital opportunity to bring the UK’s standards landscape up to date, and to ensure that integrity and ethics in government are regulated in a way that befits a modern democracy. Taking action to strengthen the UK’s integrity and ethics framework would benefit the UK by helping to: build trust in politicians and government; strengthen the stability, predictability and attractiveness of the UK as a place to do business; give the UK greater credibility on the international stage in promoting democracy and good governance; and implement outstanding recommendations made by international bodies such as the UN and Council of Europe about how the UK can improve its integrity and ethics framework to prevent and tackle corruption. Key Recommendations 1. Integrity and Ethics legislation. The government should consult on the introduction of an Integrity and Ethics Bill, by the spring of 2022, which gives legislative effect to: the Law Commission’s recommendations on the introduction of a corruption in public office offence; recommendations made by international bodies to put ACOBA and the Independent Advisor on Ministerial Interests on a statutory footing; recommendations that are likely to be made by the Committee on Standards in Public Life’s Standards Matters 2.0 review in the Autumn of 2021; and recommendations likely to be made from both the Boardman review and parliamentary committees such as PACAC, including legislative reform to the Lobbying Act. -

Acta Scientific Pharmaceutical Sciences (ISSN: 2581-5423) Volume 5 Issue 7 July 2021 Review Article Progress in the Development of Potential Therapeutics and Vaccines against COVID-19 Pandemic Abhishek Kumar Yadav, Shubham Kumar and Vikramdeep Monga* Received: May 02, 2021 Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, ISF College of Pharmacy, Moga, Punjab, Published: June 09, 2021 India © All rights are reserved by Vikramdeep *Corresponding Author: Vikramdeep Monga, Department of Pharmaceutical Monga., et al. Chemistry, ISF College of Pharmacy, Moga, Punjab, India. Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes COVID-19 or coronavirus disease 2019 and the same has been declared as a global pandemic by WHO which marked the third introduction of a virulent coronavirus into human society. This a threat to human life worldwide. Considerable efforts have been made for developing effective and safe drugs and vaccines against is a highly pathogenic human coronavirus in which pneumonia of unknown origin was identified in China in December 2019 and is SARS-CoV-2. The current situation and progress in the development of various therapeutic candidates including vaccines in preclini- cal and clinical studies have been described in the manuscript. Until now, many people have been infected with this lethal virus, and a lot of people have died from this COVID-19. This viral disease spreads by coming in contact with an infected person. Understand- ing of SARS-CoV-2 is growing in relation to its epidemiology, virology, and clinical management strategies. Till date, very few drugs or vaccines have been developed or approved for the treatment of this deadly disease of COVID-19 and many candidates are under the clinical development pipeline. -
