These Regulations, known as the Online Safety Act 2023 (Commencement No. 7) Regulations 2026, are made by the Secretary of State under the authority of the Online Safety Act 2023 to bring specific provisions of that Act into force on April 7, 2026, primarily focusing on establishing the mandatory duty for providers of regulated user-to-user services to report Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (CSEA) content to the National Crime Agency, alongside related offenses, supplementary reporting requirements, and powers for the regulator to obtain information.

This Statutory Instrument, made by the Secretary of State under the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007, dissolves the existing two-tier local government structure in Surrey, abolishing Surrey County Council and the existing district councils effective April 1, 2027.

It establishes two new unitary areas: East Surrey and West Surrey, each with a new principal authority.

The Order mandates elections for these new councils in 2026, where they will operate as 'shadow authorities' to prepare for the transfer of functions, property, and liabilities during the 'shadow period' leading up to the full structural change.

These Regulations, made by the Secretary of State for Transport under powers granted by the Air Navigation Order 2016, immediately revoke the Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Falkirk, Scotland) (Emergency) Regulations 2026, because the Secretary of State determined that the emergency situation necessitating the previous flying restrictions in the specified Falkirk area no longer exists and is not considered necessary in the public interest.

This Statutory Instrument, The Pensions Increase (Review) Order 2026, sets out the annual percentage increases to be applied to official public service pensions in the UK starting from April 6th, 2026, based on a direction given by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions regarding inflation adjustments; it specifies a 3.8 per cent increase for most pensions that began before April 7th, 2025, provides a formula for pensions starting later, and details adjustments for lump sums and reductions where a recipient is also entitled to a Guaranteed Minimum Pension.

These Regulations primarily amend provisions governing discretionary financial assistance and housing payments across England and Wales, coming into force on April 1, 2026.

The key actions involve revoking the Discretionary Financial Assistance Regulations 2001 and the Discretionary Housing Payments (Grants) Order 2001 in relation to England, while continuing their effect in Wales.

For Wales only, the Regulations amend the 2001 Order by removing the previous reference to English and Welsh authorities in claims procedure and, crucially, omitting the article that previously limited the total expenditure local authorities could spend on discretionary housing payments.

These Regulations, enacted by the Secretary of State under powers from the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012, amend the 2013 Regulations to institute new daily rates for the recovery of costs from designated authorities when a child is remanded to various forms of youth detention accommodation in England and Wales, with the changes taking legal effect on April 1, 2026.

This Order, made under the Scotland Act 1998, temporarily modifies Schedule 5, which defines reserved matters, to grant the Scottish Parliament limited legislative competence concerning the identification and regulation of substances and devices used in assisted dying for terminally ill adults.

The legislative power conferred is conditional: Scottish Ministers can identify substances/devices via subordinate legislation only with the Secretary of State’s agreement, while the Secretary of State retains power to regulate those items without Scottish Minister agreement.

These exceptions apply only to Scottish Acts resulting from Bills passed before 7 May 2026, and the Scottish Parliament cannot use this limited power to mandate the content of the regulation or impose duties on the Secretary of State.

This statutory instrument, made by the Treasury, sets the specific percentage increases to be used for revaluing accrued pension rights within certain public service pension schemes for the period between 1st April 2025 and 31st March 2026, establishing an increase in prices of 3.8 per cent and an increase in earnings of 4.8 per cent, and specifies the dates the Order comes into force across different UK jurisdictions and schemes.
