Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment they have made of the impact of the UK's departure from the EU on their ability to deliver successful policy outcomes.
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.
Much progress has been made, including via the introduction of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) (REUL) Bill. This will enable the Government, via Parliament, to remove burdensome sand unnecessary EU regulation in favour of a more agile, regulatory approach directly designed to benefit the UK.
The powers within the Bill to repeal, reform or preserve REUL should provide opportunities to stimulate economic growth, innovation and job creation across the transport sector.
