UK to Extend Energy Sector Judicial Review Reforms to All Major Infrastructure

06:46 AM EDT, 09/07/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The UK government will extend its judicial review reforms in the energy sector to all major infrastructure to prevent "vexatious" litigation and challenge from blocking economic growth. In his first speech on the economy as the UK's Chancellor of the Exchequer, John Healey also expressed his commitment to a 25% reduction in the burden of business regulation by the end of the current parliament, multiple news outlets including The Guardian reported Monday. The existing UK parliament is set to run until July 9, 2029, if no early election is called, according to its website.
