Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether his Department plans to repeal the incorporation in UK law of the Consumer Protection Cooperation Regulation after the UK leaves the EU.

The purpose of the EU (Withdrawal) Bill is to provide a functioning statute book on the day we leave the EU, and ensure that it is for our sovereign Parliament (and in some cases for the devolved legislatures) to make any future changes.

The Bill will convert all directly-applicable EU legislation - that is regulations, decisions and tertiary legislation - as it applies in the UK immediately before exit, into domestic law and will preserve all the laws which have been made in the UK to implement EU obligations.

Any future changes will be subject to parliamentary scrutiny.
