To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to undertake post-legislative review of (1) the Business and Planning Act 2020, (2) the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020, (3) the Trade (Disclosure of Information) Act 2020, and (4) the United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020, in line with the policy of reviewing Acts three to five years after enactment.

All bills that have reached Royal Assent are eligible for post-legislative scrutiny three to five years after they are enacted.

The Trade (Disclosure of Information) Act 2020 was repealed by the Trade Act 2021 and is no longer in force.

There is no planned timetable for post legislative scrutiny of the other bills mentioned in the question.
