This Order establishes free school lunch eligibility for registered pupils at maintained nursery schools in England if their parent receives Universal Credit and they do not already qualify under existing legislative criteria.

It directs school authorities to treat these pupils as eligible persons under section 512ZB(4A) of the Education Act 1996.

The provisions apply specifically to the education sector in England and involve parents who are recipients of Universal Credit.

These Regulations amend existing statutory instruments to shorten the mandatory timeframes for the retention and disposal of motor vehicles seized by the police. The order directs that previously varied periods—including 14 days, 21 days, 3 months, or 7 working days—be standardized to 7 calendar days for the purposes of vehicle collection and disposal eligibility.

It applies to police authorities and vehicle storage contractors in England and Wales, with certain parts also extending to Scotland.

This Order establishes the regulatory framework for independent remuneration panels to recommend allowances for members of combined authorities (CAs) and combined county authorities (CCAs) in England who have special responsibilities.

It directs that panels established under existing 2017 regulations function as the "relevant remuneration panels" for the purposes of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 and the Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023.

The Order applies to across multiple regional authorities—including Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, and the Tees Valley—by amending their specific constitutive orders to permit certain allowance payments as exceptions to general prohibitions on member remuneration.

These regulations bring into force specific provisions of the Football Governance Act 2025 on July 1, 2026, primarily concerning the duties of professional football clubs and competition organisers in England and Wales.

It also mandates that clubs notify the Independent Football Regulator (IFR) of changes in circumstances and enables investigatory powers concerning potential regulatory infringements.

This Order increases the statutory limits on the amount the Scottish Ministers may borrow for both resource and capital expenditure.

It raises the maximum resource borrowing limit to £1,910.141 million and the capital borrowing limit to £3,274.527 million.

These changes apply to the Scottish Government and the UK Treasury, effective from 30 June 2026.

This Order establishes June 24, 2026, as the formal end of the access preparation period for specific stretches of the Suffolk coastline between Southwold and Lowestoft.

It applies to land designated as coastal margin within the England Coast Path sectors AHS4 and AHS5, effectively enabling public access rights under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000.

The Order affects landowners, local authorities, and the general public by concluding the legal window reserved for physical preparations and land management changes required for the new long-distance route.

This Order amends the Local Government Finance Act 1988 to modify the definition of domestic property in England specifically concerning self-catering accommodation.

It directs that the standard requirements for a property to have been available for 140 days and actually let for 70 days in the previous year to qualify as non-domestic do not apply to properties occupied with other non-domestic land or to sites containing five or more self-catering units.

These changes apply to property owners, valuation officers, and local billing authorities responsible for determining whether a property is subject to non-domestic rates or council tax.

These Regulations amend the Inter-authority Recoupment (England) Regulations 2013 to establish new procedures for how local authorities in England reimburse one another for the cost of educating looked after children.

The instrument mandates that for education provided from 1st September 2026, a child's 'home' authority must pay a 'providing' authority for costs associated with a child who has an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan or attends a special school.

If authorities cannot agree on a figure within six months of a claim, the home authority must pay the total expenditure incurred by the providing authority, including transport costs but excluding Dedicated Schools Grant funding.

The Regulations apply to local authorities in England and Wales but specifically govern the financial relationship between English home and providing authorities.
