Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, which EU directives relating to his Department's responsibilities are awaiting transposition into UK law.

The UK remains a member of the EU until we leave, with full rights and obligations of membership. This includes transposing EU legislation into UK law.

The Department for Work and Pensions is aware of the following directives relating to the Department’s responsibilities for which transposition is planned:

Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom of 5 December 2013 laying down basic safety standards for protection against the dangers arising from exposure to ionising radiation. The transposition deadline is 6 February 2018. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has the overall UK government policy lead. The Health and Safety Executive is responsible for a discrete set of regulations (The Ionising Radiations Regulations) under the Basic Safety Standards Directive.

Directive 2016/2341/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2016 on the activities and supervision of institutions for occupational retirement provision (IORPs). The transposition deadline is 13 January 2019.
