Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have any plans for the Law Commission to have a role in the review and preparation of legislation affected by Brexit.

The Law Commission has confirmed through the Ministry of Justice, its sponsoring department, that it stands ready to assist the Government in the review and preparation of exit related legislation, so this will be an option available to individual departments in future if considered necessary and appropriate. Government is working to deliver a functioning statute book in time for exit day and is taking the necessary powers in the EU (Withdrawal) Bill to allow it to deliver just that.
