Specifically, the regulations remove Chapter 9 (airport supplies) from Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1998.

These changes aim to streamline security processes, and a full impact assessment was deemed unnecessary due to the anticipated lack of significant consequences on any sector.

The Non-Contentious Probate (Amendment) Rules 2025, effective November 3rd, 2025, amend the 1987 rules governing probate in England and Wales.

The amendments aim to modernize probate procedures by increasing use of an online portal.

The Legal Officers (Annual Fees) (No. 2) Order 2025, effective January 1, 2026, sets annual fees for diocesan and provincial registrars in the Church of England.

The order also defines the scope of these fees and outlines additional remuneration possibilities.

Finally, it revokes the preceding 2025 order.

These regulations, enacted under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, bring into force section 124 on September 30, 2025.

The regulations are the second set issued under the 2025 Act, and an impact assessment referencing a prior assessment was published on the UK Government website.

These regulations set commencement dates for parts of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, amending the Data Protection Act 2018.

Sections 79 and 88 (legal professional privilege and national security exemptions) come into force immediately, while sections 89 and 90 (joint processing by intelligence and authorities) commence on November 17, 2025.

Transitional provisions protect data subjects' rights previously established under the 2018 Act until the 2025 Act changes come into effect.
