Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, 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 statute book

functions appropriately outside the EU. All Departments are engaged in this

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.
