This Order officially establishes the commencement date for the Chancel Repair (Church Commissioners’ Liability) Measure 2025, bringing the Measure into force, insofar as it is not already active, on 1st October 2025.

The Church Commissioners enacted this Order using powers granted under previous measures, including the Chancel Repair (Church Commissioners’ Liability) Measure 2025 and related governing legislation.

These regulations implement revised codes of practice for examining officers under the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019 and the Terrorism Act 2000.

The Secretary of State revised the codes, published drafts for consultation, considered feedback, and laid the final versions before Parliament.

The updated codes govern the exercise of powers at UK ports and the Northern Ireland border related to combating terrorism and hostile state activity, aiming for better clarity, training, and adherence to legal frameworks.

The Register of People with Significant Control (Amendment) Regulations 2025 amend the Companies Act 2006 to improve the accuracy and timeliness of information about individuals and entities with significant control over companies.

The amendments add new notification duties for companies regarding compliance with requests for information, restrictions notices, and changes in the status of people with significant control.

They also clarify existing notification requirements, mandating more detail in the information provided to the registrar.

These changes aim to enhance transparency and strengthen enforcement mechanisms.

These regulations implement consequential amendments to existing legislation following the passage of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023.

The primary changes involve updating company law around director identification verification, the information publicly available, and modifying requirements for authorized corporate service providers.

The regulations also restrict public access to certain director identity verification statements to enhance data protection and security, affecting both primary company law and secondary legislation related to money laundering, partnerships, and insolvency.

These regulations, effective October 8, 2025, define how to calculate qualifying worldwide revenue (QWR) for online service providers under the UK's Online Safety Act 2023.

The QWR determines fees paid to Ofcom and the maximum penalties for violations.

Part 2 details QWR calculation for fee-setting, focusing on revenue directly related to regulated services.

Part 3 defines QWR for calculating maximum penalties for groups of entities, considering all revenue (regardless of service relation).

The regulations aim for financial transparency and consistent enforcement.

These regulations amend the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014, redefining 'smaller authority' based on gross income and expenditure.

For financial years starting after April 1st, 2024, the threshold increases from £6.5 million to £15 million.

The changes aim to provide greater financial flexibility for local authorities while maintaining appropriate levels of financial scrutiny.

The regulations apply to England and Wales and were approved by both Houses of Parliament.

The Building Regulations etc. (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2025 amend the Building (Registered Building Control Approvers etc.) (England) Regulations 2024 and the Building Regulations 2010, primarily focusing on improving building safety and compliance procedures.

Key changes include revised notice requirements for completed building works, stricter reporting for when clients cannot provide statements from contractors or designers, and clarifying procedures for handling contraventions.

The regulations also prescribe cases where the Building Safety Regulator must provide copies of serious contravention orders to local authorities.

Transitional provisions ensure the amendments don't retrospectively apply to notices issued before the regulations' effective date.

This order sets September 24, 2025, as the end of the access preparation period for coastal land between Felixstowe Ferry and Bawdsey.

The decision follows the approval by the Secretary of State of Natural England's proposals, detailed in six reports, under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949.

The order cites the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 as its legal basis and clarifies terms and definitions used in the approval process.

Copies of the Secretary of State’s notices of approval are available online and through the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
