In June 2004 Milton Keynes Partnership Committee (MKPC), was created by the Government and is a committee of the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), the national housing and regeneration agency for England. MKPC was created to ensure a co-ordinated approach to planning and delivery of growth and development in the ‘new city’.

The Partnership brings together Milton Keynes Council, HCA, Local Strategic Partnership representatives from the health, community and business sectors and independent representation.The role of MKPC is to co-ordinate and implement the delivery of growth and ensure that homes, infrastructure, jobs and community facilities are provided as part of a joined up approach.

The day-to-day activities of MKPC are carried out by its staff of management, professional and technical experts, known collectively as Milton Keynes Partnership (MKP).

Milton Keynes Partnership's statutory remit is set out in the Milton Keynes (Urban Area and Planning Functions) Order 2004 (S.I. 2004 No. 932).

Within MKP a new team, Invest Milton KeynesThis link opens in a new window , was established in June 2005 to bring new businesses and jobs to Milton Keynes and to help existing businesses to grow.
