Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government which retained EU laws the Department for International Trade is planning to reform or revoke in the event of a passage into law of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill.

Individual departments are in the process of assessing their REUL and developing proposals for whether they intend to revoke or reform each piece of legislation or preserve it from the sunset.

We will be ambitious but mindful of ensuring that businesses and stakeholders are engaged and consulted in the usual way on policy changes, whilst upholding commitments already given at the despatch box.

It is right that, 7 years after the British public voted to leave the EU, and 3 years since we formally left, that the programme to review, revoke and reform retained EU law is underway, and we take advantage of our new freedoms.
