Alpacas, buses and pints: Five laws you may have missed in 2025

In 2025, several new laws have been introduced in the UK, impacting various aspects of daily life. Measures include increased protection for alpacas and llamas from dog attacks, the lifting of bans on not-for-profit bus services for vulnerable passengers, and the preservation of the British pint as a traditional imperial measure under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act. Additionally, changes in the Renters Rights Act now require landlords to consider pet requests on a case-by-case basis, while burial authorities have been granted permission to re-use graves after 75 years to address the shortage of burial space in the country.
