The Enterprise Act 2002 (Amendment of Section 58 Considerations) Order 2025, effective July 24, 2025, amends the Enterprise Act 2002 to modernize its approach to media mergers.

It updates terminology, replacing 'newspapers' with 'news media' and including broadcasting, thus expanding and clarifying the public interest considerations involved in merger reviews.

These amendments also entail procedural changes in designated sections of the Act and the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013.

A savings provision protects the effects of pre-existing decisions.

These regulations implement the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework in the UK, mandating due diligence, record-keeping, and reporting obligations for UK cryptoasset service providers.

They detail procedures for self-certification, reporting to HMRC via an electronic system, and notification to users.

Penalties are outlined for various breaches, including failure to comply with due diligence, record-keeping, reporting, and notification requirements, along with provision for appeals.

An anti-avoidance clause is included.

These regulations amend the 2015 National Health Service (General Medical Services Contracts) and (Personal Medical Services Agreements) Regulations.

Key changes mandate contractor approval for out-of-area patient registration, mandatory GP Connect functionality for electronic patient record access, links to patient guidance on practice websites, patient safety event recording, updated requirements for practice contact methods, and clarified procedures for removing violent patients and those with unknown addresses.

Changes also simplify processes concerning partnership changes.

These regulations apply to England and Wales and became effective primarily on July 21, 2025, with certain provisions starting on October 1, 2025.

These regulations, effective June 20, 2025, activate sections 18 and 21 of the Investigatory Powers (Amendment) Act 2024.

Section 18 establishes a Secretary of State review process for notices, while Section 21 requires notification of changes to telecommunications services.

The regulations apply across the UK. Previous commencement regulations have already brought other parts of the Act into force.

The Vehicle Emissions Trading Schemes (Amendment) Order 2025 amends the 2023 and 2024 Orders to clarify the calculation of vehicle emissions targets for manufacturers.

It specifies that vehicles first registered in either the UK or EU are to be included in these calculations, using the EU Regulation (EU) 2019/631 as a basis for calculation for both a UK specific and EU specific target.

The manufacturer's final target is the higher of the two calculated in this way.

The Order ensures consistency and clarity in application, supporting the UK's climate change goals while considering the implications of Brexit and retaining UK control and clarity over emission reduction targets.

The Order takes effect on 2nd October 2025 and applies across the UK.

The Wireless Telegraphy (Mobile Spectrum Trading) (Amendment) Regulations 2025, effective July 7, 2025, amend the 2011 regulations to include a new license class, 'Spectrum Access High Density,' and two new frequency bands (25100–27500 MHz and 40500–43500 MHz).

These changes aim to increase mobile spectrum availability, potentially boosting network capacity, promoting technological advancements, and fostering economic growth.

OFCOM followed due process before enacting these amendments, and a regulatory impact assessment is publicly available.

The Wireless Telegraphy (Limitation of Number of Licences) Order 2025, issued by OFCOM, limits the number of wireless telegraphy licenses granted for use in the 25.1 to 27.5 gigahertz and 40.5 to 43.5 gigahertz frequency bands.

OFCOM will use a defined procedure outlined in the Wireless Telegraphy (Licence Award) Regulations 2025 to determine the number of licenses and their recipients.

The order came into force on July 7, 2025, and does not apply to the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

These regulations, effective July 3rd, 2025, exempt stamp duties on PISCES share transfers occurring within a designated sandbox environment established under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023.

The regulations define key terms like "PISCES," "PISCES sandbox arrangements," and "PISCES share" by referencing the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 (Private Intermittent Securities and Capital Exchange System Sandbox) Regulations 2025.
