Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill

Baroness Chapman of Darlington Excerpts

2nd reading
Monday 6th February 2023 Lords Chamber

Tabled by

[Baroness Chapman of Darlington]

At end insert “but regrets that this Bill threatens workers’ rights, environmental standards and consumer protections; that it has been introduced without a complete understanding of its scope or impact or what will replace the laws it revokes; that it creates damaging confusion and disruption in the economy during a cost of living crisis; is opposed by both business and workers representatives, including the Confederation of British Industry and the Trades Union Congress; that its legislative ‘sunset’ is arbitrary and will create a regulatory cliff-edge; that it ignores the concerns and lacks the consent of the devolved administrations; and that it undermines democratic scrutiny and accountability, providing ministers with unnecessary and unjustifiable powers.”.

[Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)]
