Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether he is taking steps to mitigate against the reductions in regulations envisaged by the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill.
The powers included in the Bill will strengthen the Government’s ability to amend, repeal and replace Retained EU Law (REUL) contained in secondary legislation. This is not about reducing protections, but will provide a more efficient and effective route for consolidating, amending and removing unnecessary REUL.
