As EU law and Court of Justice EU case law will be preserved as provided for in the EU (Withdrawal) Bill: it is the Government’s intention that the removal of the Charter from UK law will not affect the substantive rights that individuals already benefit from in the UK, as the Charter was never in itself the source of those rights.</p><p>The protections covered in domestic equality legislation, such as the Equality Act 2006, the Equality Act 2010 and equivalent legislation in Northern Ireland, will continue to apply once the UK has left the European Union.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 06/09/2017 17:57:49 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2017 answer text <p>The Government’s White Paper 'Legislating for the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union', quotes research from the House of Commons Library which indicates that there have been around 7,900 statutory instruments which have implemented EU legislation. This figure does not include statutory instruments made by the devolved administrations which will also observe and implement EU obligations in areas within their competence. The Department has identified 6,441 statutory instruments made under the European Communities Act 1972. As part of this exercise the department did not record the number of SIs that had been superseded or amended as this information was not relevant to the work needed on correcting the statute book.</p><p>Departments are working through their own statute book to determine where corrections may need to be made once the EU law has been converted into UK domestic law.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 11/09/2017 13:04:30 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/08/2017 answer text <p>Euratom is a separate treaty-based community, it shares a common institutional framework with the EU, including a role for the Commission, the Courts of Justice of the European Union and the Council of Ministers. This makes Euratom and the EU uniquely legally joined. Therefore, on withdrawal from the EU, the UK will also be withdrawing from the Euratom Community. Article 106a of the Euratom Treaty makes Article 50 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union applicable to the Euratom Community in identical terms.</p><p>Moving forward, the UK has enjoyed a successful relationship with Euratom for over 40 years and we want that relationship to continue. The shape of the UK’s future relationship with Euratom is subject to negotiations with the EU and our aim, throughout these negotiations, will be to maintain our mutually successful civil nuclear cooperation with Euratom and the rest of the world.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 04/08/2017 12:34:57 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
