The Government's objective has always been to have a functioning statute book in place by Exit Day.

These considerations and assessments made by individual departments have meant that we have been able to lay over 90% of the secondary legislation required before we exit the EU. SIs that Departments deem to be non-essential, or where alternative powers already exist, have been deprioritised.
