Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, if he will make time available for hon. Members to debate the potential merits of repealing EU legislation other than the European Communities Act 1972 alongside consideration of the Great Repeal Bill.

The Government will bring forward legislation in the next session that, when enacted, will repeal the European Communities Act 1972 on the day we leave the EU. This ‘Great Repeal Bill’ will end the authority of EU law and return power to the UK.

More details on the timing of this domestic legislation will be set out to Parliament in due course.
