<p>The necessary EU exit bills for 31 October in a no-deal scenario are in place.
Further primary legislation will be needed after exit day as a result of the UK leaving
the EU. The number of sitting days available for Parliamentary scrutiny of legislation
in advance of 31 October will depend on when the parliamentary session ends during
the week of 9 September.</p><p>Given the expected conference recess period of typically
three weeks, prorogation of Parliament would mean that the number of sittings days
would be between four and seven fewer than would have been available for the scrutiny
of legislation, where Parliament would have otherwise been sitting. To date we have
laid over 580 EU exit SIs. The Government is confident that the necessary secondary
legislation will be in force by 31 October.</p><p> </p>
