  • 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.

  • Beer and Cider Brochure It's a Great Pleasure to Return to Shrewsbury Folk Festival for Our Third Year and a Big Thank You to Sandra for Inviting Us Back Again
    MH Shrews Folk Fest Beer Brochure 6-8-17_Layout 1 08/08/2017 22:13 Page 1 2017 Beer and Cider Brochure It's a great pleasure to return to Shrewsbury Folk Festival for our third year and a big thank you to Sandra for inviting us back again. Like many at the festival I will miss Alan this year following his recent passing but I'm pretty sure he'll be keeping an eye on things, wherever he is, to make sure we've still got his favourite malt whisky in stock! This year we have kept many of your favourite beers and ciders but have made some changes to give you some new variety. We will be offering 45 different cask ales across the weekend, a quarter of which are different from last year. After a small trial last year we are extending our craft keg range, available in the main bar. I am particularly pleased to have some beers available from the genius hand of Ken King of local Chapel Brewery, but be quick as stocks are limited on these. For lovers of more fizzy stuff, we are pleased to be working with Kingstone Press Cider, Warsteiner and Kaltenberg. Kingstone Press will once again be sponsoring The Folk Slam, the rousing finale to the festival on the Pengwern stage. Other new brewers include Purity, which is supporting the Village Stage this year, and we say a welcome return to The Shropshire Brewery after an absence last year. Also watch out for great wines, a new range of cocktails, Prosecco (obviously!) and loads of gin at our wine bar this year.

Discrete elements of the analysis, purely relating to supply, were completed beyond this point due to the limitations of lockdown. Executive Summary 1. This Economic Needs Assessment has been produced by Turley – alongside a separate but linked Housing Needs Assessment (HNA) – on behalf of Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council and Stoke-on-Trent City Council (‘the Councils’). It is intended to update their employment land evidence, last reviewed in 20151, and comply with national planning policy that has since been revised2. It provides evidence to inform the preparation of a Joint Local Plan, while establishing links with ambitious economic strategies that already exist to address local and wider priorities in this area. 2. It should be noted at the outset that while this report takes a long-term view guided by trends historically observed over a reasonable period of time, it has unfortunately been produced at a time of exceptional economic volatility.
