The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill will retain EU law as it applies in the UK on exit day. We expect between 800 and 1000 statutory instruments will be required across Government to correct this retained EU law to ensure the statute book functions appropriately outside the EU. All Departments are engaged in this process.

As we leave the EU, the Government’s EU exit legislative programme is designed to cater for the full range of negotiated and non-negotiated outcomes. Once we leave the EU, we will make our own laws.

Groups have delegated training budgets that are used for the provision of external training and all training requests are subject to line manager approval. In addition, training across the civil service is now mostly delivered through Civil Service Learning, which oversees the purchase of training across Government ensuring best value and reducing costs through collaborative purchasing.
