Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether he plans to give domestic effect to the Parental Leave Directive 2010/18/EC through the forthcoming Repeal Bill.
The Government will bring forward legislation in the next session that, when enacted, will repeal the European Communities Act 1972 and ensure a functioning statute book on the day we leave the EU. This ‘Great Repeal Bill’ will end the authority of EU law and return power to the UK. The Bill will convert existing European Union law into domestic law, wherever practical.
The Government will set out the content of the Bill and its implications in due course.
