question text	To ask His Majesty's Government how many retained EU Law statutory instruments (SIs) are within the scope of the Common Frameworks programme; how many of these SIs are the responsibility of Scotland and Wales respectively; and when they plan to publish their scenario planning for the impact of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill on the operability of the Common Frameworks programme.

uin	HL5579
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2023 answer text <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> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 23/02/2023 14:44:19 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
