Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what his Department's estimate is of the amount of EU legislation and regulation that can be incorporated into UK law without amendment.

The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill will convert European Union law into UK law as it applies in the UK at the moment of exit. The Government is still making a detailed assessment of what corrections will be required to make that law function appropriately on exit day. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office is working with the Department for Exiting the European Union to ensure we make the changes required to deliver a functioning statute book on leaving the EU in the most efficient manner possible.
