The public Retained EU law (REUL) dashboard can be accessed through GOV.UK. To support transparency the dashboard will document the government’s progress in accelerating regulatory reform and reclaiming the UK statute book. The government is committed to maintaining high standards across the UK and ensuring that vital protections continue to be upheld in all areas, including compliance with our international obligations. All departments including BEIS are reviewing their REUL to determine whether to repeal, replace or preserve it.
