Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities written question – answered at on 21 December 2022.
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment they have made of the impact of the UK's departure from the EU on their ability to deliver successful policy outcomes.
Leaving the EU has provided the UK with the freedom to conceive and implement laws and policies that put the UK first and the opportunity to think boldly about how it regulates its economy for the good of the country as a whole.
At the start of this year, the Government set out its plans to maximise the benefits of Brexit across each major sector of the economy and transform the UK into the best regulated country in the world.
To seize the benefits of Brexit more quickly the Government is introducing the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill, which will enable the Government, via parliament, to remove years of burdensome EU regulation in favour of a more agile, home-grown regulatory approach that benefits the UK—to stimulate economic growth, innovation and job creation.
Departments will be able to use the powers within the Bill, to repeal, reform or preserve REUL, in the best interests of the United Kingdom.
The £2.6 billion UK Shared Prosperity Fund, which is a central pillar of the UK Government’s ambitious Levelling Up agenda has been designed to build pride in place and increase life chances across the UK
The EU had strict, rigid requirements on what money could and couldn’t be spent on, but our approach is more flexible, empowering local people who know best.
