Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has plans in place to repeal the provisions of EU regulation 2017/352 on port services once the UK leaves the European Union; and if he will make a statement.

We recognise that the port services Regulation, which will come into effect on 24 March 2019, places additional burdens on industry. The future applicability of retained EU legislation in general is within the scope of negotiations.
