To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, which regulations will not be subject to the sunset clause within the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill.
Nusrat Ghani
Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade) (jointly with the Cabinet Office)
The scope of the sunset is defined in clause one and it covers ‘EU-derived domestic subordinate legislation’ and ‘retained direct EU legislation’.
Primary legislation will not sunset.
Clause 1 also contains the preservation power. This allows the UK Government and devolved governments to preserve specific pieces of retained EU law that would otherwise be subject to the sunset.
