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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many new EU directives relating to his Department's responsibilities are awaiting translation 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.

There are 10 Directives that are the responsibility of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy which are awaiting transposition into UK law as of 29^th June.

Government policy, based on legal assessment, remains to ensure full compliance with EU legal requirements until the UK leaves the EU. This includes transposition of EU directives.
