Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, 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 United Kingdom 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 Department for Exiting the European Union are working closely with departments across Government to ensure we make the changes required to deliver a functioning statute book on exit in the most efficient manner possible.
