Eight new UK laws passed in the last week explained - including prisoner release dates, rogue landlords and more
Plans to ditch EU legislation from UK law are among the bills to have received royal assent from the King this week. A total of eight new pieces of legislation have passed the final stage of the Parliamentary process and have now become law.
The climbdown was cautiously welcomed by critics in business and environmental groups who had warned the project was unfeasible and that important regulations would be scrapped without proper scrutiny. End to the citizenship limbo faced by tens of thousands of Brits New legislation has been introduced to clarify the status of people born in the UK to EU, EEA and Swiss nationals between specified dates. The bill was fast-tracked through Parliament and designed to provide legal certainty to the status of some 167,000 individuals born in the UK.
Ban on the import and export of shark fins Another new law bans the import and export of detached shark fins, including all products containing shark fins such as tinned shark fin soup. The Shark Fins Act marks a major step in cementing the UK as a global leader in shark conservation, according to the government.
Mutuals are organisations owned by, and run for, their members. Industry estimates suggest that mutual insurers and friendly societies support the savings, pensions, protection and healthcare needs of over 30 million people in the UK, according to the government. Abuse victims can get child maintenance payments without interacting with former partners The Child Support Collection Act 2023 will allow the Child Maintenance Service to intervene in cases where abuse is evident, using its powers to collect and make payments.
Around one in three prisoners leave custody on a Friday – giving them just a few short hours to access critical support, such as finding a bed for the night, registering with a GP and signing up with the job centre, before services shut for the weekend. The Offenders Bill gives prison governors the power to release prisoners with mental health issues, substance misuse problems or who have far to travel home, on a Wednesday or Thursday instead.
