It authorizes HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and the Treasury to publish notices specifying monitoring methodologies, verification standards, and accreditation requirements for independent verifiers.

These rules apply to registered and registrable persons importing goods such as cement and fertilizers, as well as the operators of the installations where these goods are produced.

Removed the Care Quality Commission's statutory responsibility to provide training and support for staff raising concerns in the NHS.

These Regulations remove a specific statutory function from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) concerning the provision of training, guidance, and support for healthcare workers who raise concerns or suggestions for improvement, a practice known as Freedom to Speak Up.

The Department of Health and Social Care directs this change following the closure of the National Guardian’s Office in June 2026, which previously operated within the CQC's legal framework.

The measure applies to the CQC's operations in England and ensures the regulator's additional functions align with the government's decision to decentralize staff support roles to individual NHS providers and commissioners.
