Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, how many EU directives are awaiting transposition into UK law.

Until exit negotiations are concluded, the UK remains a full member of the European Union and all the rights and obligations of EU membership remain in force. During this period the Government will continue to negotiate, implement and apply EU legislation.

Once we have left the EU the process of transposing directives will cease. The Repeal Bill will repeal the European Communities Act 1972, ending the supremacy of EU law in the UK, and will preserve the domestic law we have made to transpose directives before the day we leave the EU.

Please refer to the EUR-lex website for further information regarding the Directives awaiting transposition into UK law before 29 March 2019.
