<p>It is too early to state the volume of legislation needed to amend retained EU
law as the number of SIs required will depend on a range of factors. All SIs will
become publicly available once laid before Parliament, in the usual way.</p><p>The
Retained EU Law Dashboard shows where retained EU law sits across departments, policy
areas and sectors. It will be updated quarterly to document the government's progress
of amending, repealing or replacing retained EU law that is not right for the UK.</p><p>The
purpose of Common Frameworks is to manage divergence, and whilst the sunset date within
the Bill may encourage a quicker pace of reform, there is nothing unique to REUL reform
that places it beyond the ability of Common Frameworks to handle in the areas they
cover. As such, no specific scenario planning is required. I refer the noble Baroness
to the answer I gave her today to HL5580 and HL5581: the Review and Amendment mechanism
within Frameworks is designed to allow a Framework to be updated should a relevant
change, such a reform of a significant piece of retained EU law that in the scope
of the framework, require it.</p>
