These Regulations establish the framework for the creation, operation, and management of Marine Recovery Funds (MRFs) across the UK, designed to channel payments from entities responsible for adverse environmental effects of offshore wind activities towards approved compensatory measures.

The Secretary of State is empowered to set up these funds territorially, determine the application procedure for 'MRF applicants' seeking to make compensation payments, approve environmental 'measures,' and manage the subsequent delivery, monitoring, and adaptation of those measures through 'MRF contracts.'

The Secretary of State for Transport confirms the Borough Council of Calderdale’s Scheme, enacted under the Highways Act 1980, which authorizes the construction of a multi-span bridge over the Calder and Hebble Navigation.

This bridge is a component of the Elland Station and West Vale Access Package, intended to provide essential pedestrian and cycle access to the proposed Elland Rail Station from the north bank, while ensuring navigational requirements of the waterway are met.

These Regulations amend three previous Statutory Instruments to postpone the end date of the pilot commencement of Part 3 of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021—which covers Domestic Abuse Protection Notices (DAPNs) and Domestic Abuse Protection Orders (DAPOs)—from November 2025 to March 31, 2026, for specified areas in England and Wales.

Furthermore, the regulations revise the 'saving provisions' within the commencement instrument for Part 3 to detail precisely how ongoing legal proceedings related to DAPNs and DAPOs (including applications, appeals, and enforcement) will be handled after the pilot period ends, ensuring continuous protection measures are in place.

These Regulations, issued by the Minister for the Cabinet Office with the consent of the Department of Finance for Northern Ireland, update specific financial threshold amounts within the Procurement Act 2023, effective from January 1, 2026.

The primary goal is to ensure the UK's public procurement rules, particularly those governed by the GPA, align with current international standards, while also correcting an inconsistency in below-threshold contract procedures and detailing specific threshold columns related to contracts regulated by the Welsh Ministers.

These Regulations, made by the Secretary of State with consent from the Scottish Ministers and the Department of Justice for Northern Ireland, exercise powers under the Private International Law (Implementation of Agreements) Act 2020 to extend the 'operative period' for making associated regulations by five years.

The instrument formally extends the deadline for creating subordinate legislation under Section 2 of the 2020 Act from 13th December 2025 until the end of 12th December 2030, applying across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

This Order, made by the King in Council under powers granted by the Government of Wales Act 2006, officially names itself the Welsh Parliament (Disqualification) Order 2025 and revokes the previous 2020 Order, although the 2020 Order remains effective for any Senedd election polling before April 6, 2026.

The primary function of the 2025 Order is to designate specific public offices listed in the Schedule whose holders are disqualified from being elected or remaining as a Member of the Senedd (MS), with the disqualification commencing its full effect for elections held on or after April 6, 2026.

This Order, made by the Secretary of State under the powers conferred by the Traffic Management Act 2004, serves to amend existing regulations concerning parking contraventions in East Sussex, specifically expanding the designated areas within Hastings and Lewes.

Furthermore, it designates parts of Cambridgeshire County Council's area for bus lane contravention enforcement and designates specific parts of the areas governed by Brighton and Hove City Council, Calderdale, Cornwall Council, Dorset Council, Kirklees Borough Council, Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council, Milton Keynes City Council, and Slough Borough Council as civil enforcement areas for moving traffic contraventions, effective from December 9th, 2025.

This Order formally revokes the A1 in Northumberland: Morpeth to Ellingham Development Consent Order 2024 under the authority granted by the Planning Act 2008, following the Secretary of State determining that exceptional circumstances warranted discontinuation of the development consent without a formal application for revocation being submitted.
