Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, which EU legislation within his Department's responsibilities will (a) be incorporated into UK law through the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill and (b) require to be amended under powers in that Bill.

The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill, published on 13 July 2017, will ensure a smooth and orderly exit from the EU. It also ensures, so far as possible, that the same rules and laws will apply on the day after exit as on the day before. All Government Departments are currently reviewing the EU laws that apply in their policy areas and how withdrawal from the EU will affect the operation of those laws. There are decades of EU law to consider, and we are working to ensure that the statute book works on exit, fixing laws where necessary, and that the maximum possible certainty is provided for individuals and businesses as we leave the EU.

The Department is fully engaged in this legislative process.
