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.<\/p>

<\/p>

Each SI was carefully considered on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>

<\/p>

The considerations and assessments made have meant that the Government has been able to lay the critical secondary legislation required before we exit the EU.<\/p>

<\/p>

The laying of EU Exit SIs allows Parliament to fulfil its essential scrutiny role. The exact nature of this scrutiny, and the steps required before an SI completes its passage, is dependent on the type of SI.
