Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask His Majesty's Government which retained EU laws the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy is planning to reform or revoke in the event of a passage into law of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill.

Individual departments are currently in the process of assessing all their REUL and developing proposals for whether they intend to revoke or reform each piece of legislation, or preserve it from the sunset.

Once this process is complete, Government will announce its intention for the areas where it will focus on reform, where it will repeal or allow REUL to sunset, and where it will seek to retain the status quo. We will be ambitious but mindful of ensuring that businesses and stakeholders are engaged and consulted in the usual way on policy changes, whilst upholding commitments already given at the despatch box.
