This Order establishes 25 August 2026 as the commencement date for a new Code of Practice governing electronic and workplace balloting for trade unions in England, Wales, and Scotland.

It directs trade unions to follow specific guidance when conducting statutory ballots for industrial action, political resolutions, and union amalgamations.

The Order applies to trade unions, employers, and independent scrutineers involved in statutory voting processes, while exempting ballots that were already underway or formally initiated before the effective date.

These Regulations prohibit aircraft from flying below 4,100 feet above mean sea level within a specified circular area centered on Carmarthen, Wales.

The measures apply to all civil and private aviation and remain in effect until the emergency is declared over and the instrument is revoked.

This Order amends the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 and the Employment Rights Act 1996 to permit trade unions to conduct elections and industrial action ballots via electronic, hybrid, and workplace voting in addition to traditional postal methods.

It directs a 'responsible person' within the union to determine which voting methods are available for a given ballot based on specific security and accessibility criteria.

The Order applies to trade unions, employers, and independent scrutineers, mandating strict technical standards such as Cyber Essentials Plus certification, data encryption, and the maintenance of comprehensive audit logs.

These Regulations integrate the regulation of waste carriers, brokers, and dealers into the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 framework, replacing the previous registration system under the Control of Pollution (Amendment) Act 1989 in England.

They establish three new classes of regulated facilities: waste controlling activity, waste transporting activity, and waste controlling-transporting activity, making them subject to environmental permits or specific exemptions.

The Environment Agency is designated as the regulator for these activities, which include duties to apply the waste hierarchy and carry identification during transport.

The rules apply to businesses, charities, and individuals involved in the moving, buying, selling, or arranging for the disposal of waste in England.
