Brexit: Statutory Instruments

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many statutory instruments they expect to lay before Parliament to address any gaps in the statute book arising from the UK’s withdrawal from the EU; and how many of those instruments they anticipate will be laid under (1) the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018, and (2) other primary legislation.

Answer

I refer to my Hon Friend’s, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union’s, letter to the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee, the European Statutory Instruments Committee, and the Procedure Committee dated 25 October, published in the committee’s 42nd Report of Session 2017-19, where he sets out the expected ranges of Brexit statutory instruments we expect to lay for each month up to March 2019. All statutory instruments are being published on legislation.gov.uk, and the Government has committed that statutory instruments relating to EU exit will be clearly titled.
