All retained EU law (REUL) listed in the dashboard that falls under the definition of EU-derived subordinate legislation and retained direct EU legislation, is in scope of the sunset established by clause 1 of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill.

Any REUL listed in the dashboard that is primary legislation is not subject to any sunset in the Bill. REUL not in scope of the sunset will be assimilated into the domestic statute book, by the removal of the special EU law features previously attached to it.

The dashboard presents an authoritative, not comprehensive, catalogue of REUL. Therefore, there may be some legislation that is covered by clause 1 of the Bill that is not yet captured in the dashboard. The Government will continue to identify additional REUL and update the dashboard on a quarterly basis to reflect this.
