This Statutory Instrument, the National Employment Savings Trust (Amendment) Order 2026, amends the National Employment Savings Trust Order 2010 to introduce greater flexibility in how pension benefits are paid from the National Employment Savings Trust (NEST).

The Order empowers the Trustee to offer members the option of receiving a drawdown pension and modifies benefit payment options upon a member's death to allow for a dependants' scheme pension or a drawdown pension paid to a dependant, nominee, or successor, incorporating terminology defined in the Finance Act 2004.

These Regulations, made by the Secretary of State using powers under the Air Navigation Order 2016, impose temporary flight restrictions on aircraft flying below specified altitudes (between 1,500 and 4,000 feet above mean sea level) within eleven distinct geographical areas across parts of North West and South West England and surrounding areas on April 24, 2026, between 11:45 and 14:15 UTC. The restrictions are enacted in the public interest to accommodate an intended helicopter flight and include specific exemptions for certain air traffic control units, emergency services, and scheduled movements at specified airports.

The Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Drax, North Yorkshire) Regulations 2026 enact time-limited restrictions on the operation of unmanned aircraft within a specific geographic area around Drax, North Yorkshire, between 0600 hours on April 27th, 2026, and 2259 hours on May 3rd, 2026, forbidding flights below 1,200 feet above mean sea level unless explicit permission is granted by the North Yorkshire Police Drone Team, citing public interest, safety, and security concerns related to a large intended gathering.
