Question
to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, which EU (a) Directives, (b) Regulations and (c) other legislation affecting her Department she is planning to propose the (i) revocation and (ii) amendment of after the UK leaves the EU.
Answered by Rory Stewart
The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill will retain EU law as it applies in the UK on exit day.
We expect between 800 and 1000 statutory instruments will be required across Government to correct this retained EU law to ensure the statute book functions appropriately outside the EU. All Departments are engaged in this process.
Once we leave the EU, we will make our own laws. As we leave the EU, the Government’s EU exit legislative programme is designed to cater for the full range of negotiated and non-negotiated outcomes.
