The Trade Marks (Isle of Man) (Amendment) Order 2025 amends the 2013 Order to reflect changes in UK trademark law.

Specifically, it modifies section 56 of the 1994 Act regarding the protection of well-known trademarks, incorporating references to the WTO agreement and making it more explicit.

The Order applies to England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the Isle of Man, and took effect on July 10, 2025.

The Inspectors of Education, Children’s Services and Skills (No. 3) Order 2025, enacted June 12, 2025, appoints several individuals as His Majesty’s Inspectors of Education, Children’s Services and Skills.

This appointment is authorized under the Education and Inspections Act 2006 and is detailed in a schedule listing each appointee.

These regulations, enacted under the National Security Act 2023, exempt specific categories of activities from the foreign activities and foreign influence registration scheme.

The exemptions cover certain foreign power investment funds focused primarily on overseas investments, educational arrangements supporting students in the UK, administrative and technical services provided by foreign powers, and arrangements involving UK public bodies (excluding those related to political influence).

The aim is to streamline the registration process while maintaining national security.

These regulations mandate the Secretary of State to publish information from the National Security Act 2023's foreign activities and foreign influence registration scheme on a public website. Publication includes details of registered foreign activity and foreign influence arrangements, subject to exceptions for national security, crime prevention, individual safety, and commercially sensitive information.

The information remains published for up to ten years, depending on the arrangement's duration.

The regulations specify precisely which information must be made public for each registration type.

These regulations amend several existing UK statutory instruments to reflect the abolition of the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education and the subsequent transfer of its functions to the Secretary of State.

Specifically, the regulations replace references to the Institute with the Secretary of State in the Education (Student Support) Regulations 2011 and amend the Apprenticeships (Miscellaneous Provisions) Regulations 2017, removing the Institute’s power to charge fees for evaluating apprenticeship assessments.

Additionally, they remove the Institute from listings of public bodies in the Trade Union (Facility Time Publication Requirements) Regulations 2017 and the Trade Union (Deduction of Union Subscriptions from Wages in the Public Sector) Regulations 2024.

The regulations came into force on July 2nd, 2025.

The Code Manager Selection (Competitive) Regulations 2025 establish a framework for the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority to competitively select code managers for designated documents.

The regulations detail eligibility requirements, conflict-of-interest provisions, selection criteria, notice publication procedures, and provisions for cancellation or disqualification.

The selection process includes an open or restricted procedure, with the Authority publishing notices at each stage and considering any representations received.

The Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (Alteration of Coroner Areas) Order 2025, effective July 1, 2025, merges four existing coroner areas in Kent and Medway—Central and South East Kent, Mid Kent and Medway, North East Kent, and North West Kent—into a single "Kent and Medway" area.

The order cites the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 as its legal basis and clarifies the definitions of "coroner area" and "new coroner area." No significant impact on the private, voluntary, or public sectors is anticipated.

These regulations amend the 2010 Private Security Industry Act exemptions concerning aviation security.

They clarify licensing requirements for individuals involved in airport security (screening, access control) and update references.

The changes exempt certain persons from licensing under the 2001 Act due to alternative arrangements being deemed sufficient for maintaining aviation security.

The regulations also revoke the 2012 amendment regulations.
