The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill, published on 13 July, will end the supremacy of EU law in the UK, whilst also ensuring, so far as possible, that the same rules and laws will apply on the day after exit as on the day before. All government departments are currently reviewing the EU laws that apply in their policy areas and how our withdrawal from the EU will affect the operation of those laws. Where laws need to be fixed, the government will ensure this is done through the powers outlined in the Bill.
