The Department is currently in the process of reviewing its stock of Retained EU Law (REUL). The Department will set out its approach to each piece of REUL in due course.

The REUL dashboard was last updated in January and provides a list of REUL identified to that point. Since then, the Department has continued to identify REUL in scope of the Bill and expect this list to continue to evolve.
