Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask Her Majesty's Government how they will consult business and other interested groups on EU regulations that come into force during the transition period; and what assurance they intend to provide concerning the possibility of regulatory changes occurring both during the transition period and following the UK’s withdrawal from the EU.

We continue to engage regularly with companies and industry representatives across the economy, to discuss their priorities, inform our negotiating position and prepare for our departure from the EU.

The UK and the EU agreed in March that during the implementation period, EU rules and regulations will remain in place in order to provide continuity and certainty to businesses and citizens.

We currently have a robust system in place for the transposition of EU legislation, that includes stakeholder consultation. That will remain in place during the implementation period.
