<p>The UK has a longstanding tradition of ensuring our rights and liberties are protected
domestically and of fulfilling our international human rights obligations. The decision
to leave the European Union does not change this.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The
Government’s intention has always been that in itself not incorporating the Charter
into UK law should not affect the substantive rights that individuals already benefit
from in the UK, as the Charter was never the source of those rights. The EU (Withdrawal)
Bill sets out how the sources of these substantive rights, so far as they exist elsewhere
in EU law, are being converted into UK law at the point we exit the EU.</p><p><strong>

in the Charter the Government has published a non-exhaustive analysis which sets out
how substantive rights found in the Charter - including those mentioned in this grouped
question - will be reflected in the domestic law of the UK after exit. The analysis
is available on gov.uk at the following link:</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/664891/05122017_Charter_Analysis_FINAL_VERSION.pdf.</p>
