Written Question
Attorney General: Brexit
Monday 18th September 2017

Asked by: Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat - Carshalton and Wallington)

Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, which EU legislation within the Law Officers' Departments' responsibilities will (a) be incorporated into UK law through the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill and (b) require to be amended under powers in that Bill.

Answered by Jeremy Wright

The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill will convert European Union law into UK law as it applies in the UK at the moment of exit. This will ensure that, wherever possible, the same rules and laws will apply the day after exit as they did before.

The Government is still making a detailed assessment of what corrections will be required to make that law function appropriately on exit day. The Government’s current estimate is that we will need to make between 800 and 1,000 statutory instruments to make exit a reality in UK law.

The Crown Prosecution Service has eight staff currently in the redeployment pool and the Serious Fraud Office has less than five staff.
