Modified employment, insolvency, and procurement laws to facilitate the nationalisation and property transfer of British Steel Limited.

These Regulations modify several areas of UK law—including employment, freedom of information, insolvency, and procurement—to facilitate the transfer of property and liabilities from British Steel Limited (ACo) to a state-owned company, SPV 2026 Limited (BCo).

They ensure all British Steel employees are transferred to the new entity while removing the statutory duty to consult with employee representatives during this specific process.

The instrument further exempts the new company from transparency requirements under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and public procurement rules under the Procurement Act 2023, while protecting government ministers and agencies from being legally classified as shadow directors.

These provisions apply to the Secretary of State, UK Government Investments Limited, and the personnel and management of the involved companies starting 16 July 2026.

Revoked the 2011 statutory code of practice concerning services, public functions, and associations effective 5 August 2026.

It acts on a formal request from the Commission for Equality and Human Rights to the Secretary of State, clearing the legal path for an updated 2026 Code of Practice to take effect.

The revocation applies across England, Wales, and Scotland, affecting how service providers, public bodies, and associations interpret their duties under the Equality Act 2010.

Added meningitis, tetanus, diphtheria, and polio vaccines to the list of medicines subject to zero or nominal NHS reimbursement in England starting 20 July 2026.

These regulations amend the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical and Local Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 2013 to include several additional vaccines in the list of medicines eligible for zero or nominal reimbursement.

They apply to NHS pharmaceutical service providers in England who administer centrally purchased vaccines for meningococcal disease (groups A, C, W, Y, and B), tetanus, diphtheria, and polio.

The instrument ensures that where the government has already paid for the supply of these vaccines, pharmacies do not receive a standard purchase price reimbursement for them.

These requirements apply to any person or business producing or marketing this substance for food supplement use within England.
