<p>The Government will bring forward legislation in the next session that, when enacted,
will repeal the European Communities Act 1972 on the day we leave the EU, ending the
authority of EU law and returning power to the UK. The Bill will give consumers, workers
and businesses as much certainty as possible by maintaining law wherever practicable
and desirable.</p><p>The Bill will convert current EU law (including regulations and
directives) into domestic law, while allowing for amendments to take account of the
future negotiated UK-EU relationship. The Government will then, in slower time, consider
the domestic law changes which will be needed to give effect to new policies developed
post EU exit.</p>
