A
BILL

This Act gives UK regulatory bodies (like health and safety inspectors) more flexible powers to enforce rules and punish rulebreaking. Instead of always taking cases to court, regulators can now use tools like warnings, fines, and other sanctions directly, making enforcement faster and more practical.
