Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, which EU (a) Directives, (b) Regulations and (c) other legislation affecting his Department he is planning to propose (i) revocation and (ii) amendment of after the UK leaves the EU.

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 statue book functions appropriately outside the EU. All Departments are engaged in the process.

Once we leave the EU, we will make our own laws. As we leave the EU, the Governments EU exit legislative programme is designed to cater for the full range of possible outcomes.
