answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2022 answer text <p>When the UK left the EU on 31st January 2020, we regained the ability to set our own rules and regulations. This was a key reason why the British people voted to leave the EU. The UK’s departure from the EU will enable the UK Government to remove and reform years of burdensome EU regulation in favour of a more agile, home-grown regulatory approach that benefits the UK - for example, through powers in the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill. This will allow us to seize the benefits of Brexit to create the best regulated economy in the world, stimulating economic growth, innovation and job creation.</p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully question first answered 20/12/2022 10:44:22 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2019 answer text <p>As a responsible Government, we’ve been preparing to minimise any disruption in the event of no deal for nearly three years. We are putting in place a range of mitigations, which include assessing and reducing the risk of disruption to personal data flows to and from the UK in the event of a no deal through legislation, public and private sector communications and preparations for adequacy decisions from the EU.</p><p> </p><p>The Treasury has allocated over £4.2 billion of additional funding to departments and Devolved Administrations for EU exit preparations so far. This breaks down as £412m over the spending review period for the Department for Exiting the European Union, Department for International Trade and the Foreign &amp; Commonwealth Office (Autumn Statement 2016); £286m of additional funding for 2017/18 (a full breakdown of which can be found in Supplementary Estimates 2017/18); over £1.5 billion for 2018/19 (Supplementary Estimates 2018/19); and over £2 billion for 2019/20 (Main Estimates 2019/20).</p><p> </p><p>This funding is to cover all exit scenarios and is in addition to departmental efforts to reprioritise from business as usual toward preparations for the UK’s departure from the EU. Work on no-deal exit preparations cannot be readily separated from other EU exit work, given the significant overlap in plans in many cases.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 09/07/2019 14:41:32 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2019 answer text <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.</p><p> </p><p>Each SI was carefully considered on a case-by-case basis to assess the impact of it not being in force on exit day, which informed scheduling decisions. These considerations and assessments have meant that the Government has been able to lay the critical secondary legislation required before we exit the EU.</p><p> </p><p>In the case of the Electronic Communications (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, the department accepted the recommendation of the European Statutory Instruments Committee that the SI should use the affirmative procedure, notwithstanding that this would mean the SI would be unlikely to come into force on exit day (as defined, at that time, as 29 March 2019). This was because it was not essential that the provision made by the SI be in force from exit day, principally because it made very minor technical changes or revoked EU law which would be redundant if retained on the UK's statute book.</p><p> </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. The Government remains confident of passing the necessary legislation required to ensure a functioning statute book by exit day.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 23/04/2019 10:58:56 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
