Since we published our abstraction plan (see attachment) in 2017, the Environment Agency has reduced damaging abstraction by returning 48 billion litres of water a year to the environment and removed the risk to the environment of the potential abstraction of 1.9 trillion litres of water.<\/p>
<\/p>
Water companies are told by the Environment Agency about what abstractions are deemed unsustainable through the Water Industry Environment Programme (see attachment) and the statutory water resources management plans (see attachment) and take action to remove or reduce these abstractions. In some cases, removal or reduction of abstraction licences will reduce the security of water supply for people and businesses, so water companies will have to take appropriate steps to reduce demand or develop new supplies of water to ensure they can still provide water supplies.<\/p>
<\/p>
The deadlines water companies are given vary, as some may require investigations into the level of reductions required. The Plan for Water shows water companies have to take action to reduce a gap between how much water they could supply when compared to future demand. The gap is 4 billion litres of water per day, which includes reductions in abstractions to protect the environment and accounts for the impacts of climate change on water sources. Water companies have recently produced new water resources plans showing how they will address this gap and the Environment Agency has produced a summary of how water companies (see attachment) will increase supply and reduce demand over the next 25 years.<\/p>"}

Before a medicine can be placed onto the market in the United Kingdom, it must first receive approval from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) via the granting of a Marketing Authorisation, commonly known as a product licence. Each medicinal product is assessed for its safety, quality, and efficacy. For a generic medicine, an assessment of whether the medicinal product is equivalent to the proprietary medicine will also be performed.<\/p>
Manufacturers of all medicines, including generics, are required to perform testing for each batch before it is released to market to ensure that it meets the specifications as set out in the product licence. There are currently no plans to amend these testing processes. If the UK product is manufactured in a third country there is an additional requirement for testing after importation i.e., after shipping, but before release to the market. This extra control measure is not a requirement for supply to the market in the United States of America.<\/p>
It should be noted that medicines, including generics, must comply with the same Good Manufacturing Standards which are applicable for domestic and third country manufacturers. The MHRA\u2019s medicines inspectorate conduct inspections to ensure that those manufacturing medicines meet these stringent Good Manufacturing Practice standards. These standards are also applicable to the testing facilities, which are also the subject of inspections to ensure the appropriate standards are being met.<\/p>"}

As announced in the Maximising Resources, Minimising Waste programme on July 28th, we will develop and consult on policy options for reducing textiles waste, including requiring businesses over a certain size to provide a customer take back systems for used textiles.<\/p>
<\/p>
There is anecdotal evidence that garment recycling schemes can be effective, and we will assess this further as we develop the new policies. As these are voluntary initiatives, there are currently no regulations and checks of compliance that apply to the retailers.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) produced a guide for businesses on setting up takeback schemes, funded in part by Defra: Retailer-clothing-take-back-guide-Feb21.pdf (wrap.org.uk)<\/a>.<\/p>"}

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is aware of human-specific technologies, including organ-on-chip technologies, to better identify potential toxicity and safety of novel medicines and has engaged with other organisations active in this space such as the National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement & Reduction of Animals in Research which has hosted meetings on this theme. The MHRA has also provided scientific advice to at least one biotechnology company on the use of this technology to support proof of concept for a new medicine. The MHRA does not identify those with whom it may have had discussions who are active commercially in this space.<\/p>
In relation to human specific methods, some medicines have been developed which only have activity in humans, such as eculizumab (Soliris), tebentafusp (Kimmtrak) or CAR T cell products (for instance, Kymriah, Yescarta and Tecartus). These medicines were developed using human specific methods; however, versions of these medicines that were active in animals were, in some cases, also used. The MHRA supports the developers of these products by its offer of scientific advice services, the Innovation Office and the Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway.<\/p>"}
