The Feed-in tariff (FiT) scheme was introduced in April 2010 and is the government’s main policy measure to encourage the deployment of small-scale low-carbon electricity generation in Great Britain (GB), and is implemented by the Feed-in Tariffs Order 2012, SI 2012/2782 (as amended), and modifications to Conditions 33 and 34 of the standard conditions of electricity supply licences, ie ‘the Standard Licence Conditions’. The FiT scheme is available to everyone—from domestic households to local authorities, landlords and businesses. Where they meet the relevant eligibility requirements and declare that they will use all the energy they generate, off-grid generators can also receive partial FiT payments. They will only be entitled to the generation tariff as they aren't exporting any electricity. Those eligible for the FiT scheme: • will be paid by certain licensed electricity suppliers (FiT licensee) for every unit of electricity, per kilowatt hour (p/kWh), they generate—the generation tariff • can sell any surplus electricity generated to the National Grid—the export tariff • will benefit from

The Home Office has laid before Parliament the draft Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Order 2025, to amend the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Order 2016,  SI 2016/177. When approved, this will  increase the maximum fees that can be charged for various listed immigration and nationality services. Once it comes into force, amendments will then be made to the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Regulations 2018, SI 2018/330 to change the specific fees. The Explanatory Memorandum (EM) to the draft Order states that the fee raises are to reduce the reliance of the migration and borders system on taxpayer funding, and that there will be a wider package of changes implemented to the Fees Regulations 2018 in due course. In most cases, according to the EM, the anticipated fees will be at the relevant maximum amount. The proposed increases include the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) fee rising from £10 to £16, the Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) fee increasing from £239 to £525 (note that this is only for certain sponsored routes, others such as Temporary Worker will go from £25 to £55, according to the EM), the naturalisation as a British citizen fee rising from £1,500 to £1,605 and the naturalisation as a British overseas territories citizen fee rising from £1,000 to £1,070. See below for a table setting out all proposed increases.
