Steven Bonnar (Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill) (SNP)
It is a pleasure to see you in the Chair, Mr Sharma. The SI is required for the reasons that the Minister outlined, and I thank him for doing so. The Scottish Government have given their consent to it, so I will make only a short contribution.
Six years since the Brexit vote, and two years into its implementation, we are still implementing SIs to patch up Brexit legislation gaps. The Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill is set to repeal thousands more laws, and ensure that even more time is taken up by patch-up jobs such as today’s. Far too much legislative time has already been taken up with post-Brexit fixes because this Tory Government refuse to realise the futility of it all.
