<p>The Department has not deprioritised any European Union exit Statutory Instruments
(SIs).</p><p> </p><p>Our objective has always been to have a functioning statute book
in place by ‘exit day’ and to ensure that the most critical secondary legislation
was made by this point. Each SI was carefully considered on a case-by-case basis,
enabling the Department to lay the critical secondary legislation required before
we exit the EU.</p><p> </p><p>Given the extension to Article 50, the Department will
consider whether any further EU exit SIs will need to be brought forward to amend
any EU Regulations which have come into force since the original EU Exit SI programme
was finalised, to ensure a functioning statute book ahead of a potential ‘no deal’
exit. The Department will keep this under careful review.</p>
