answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/05/2023 answer text <p>The Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill allows the United Kingdom to take the next step in reasserting the sovereignty of Parliament. It will end the special status of retained EU law in the UK statute book and ensures that, for the first time in a generation, the UK’s statute book will not recognise the supremacy of EU law or EU legal principles. The UK has one of the best workers’ rights records in the world and our high standards were never dependent on our membership of the EU. The Government has been conducting a comprehensive review of all retained EU law to ensure that our regulations are tailored to the needs of the UK economy, and is consulting on several regulations where we see opportunities for improvements, while not impacting workers’ rights, the consultation can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/retained-eu-employment-law-reforms" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/retained-eu-employment-law-reforms</a></p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 30/05/2023 16:53:48 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani

However, as set out in the Life Sciences Vision the MHRA is recognised as a global leader and plays a fundamental role in shaping global standards. As an independent sovereign regulator MHRA is able to act with agility to allow safe and timely market access for vaccines, medicines, and technologies to safeguard the health of the United Kingdom population.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 26/06/2023 15:41:33 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

Many of our temperate rainforests support rich assemblages of species and some of the best examples are in our series of Sites of Special Scientific Interest. SSSI selection guidelines for woodlands are focussed on securing a representative series rather than protecting every example. Nevertheless, in addition to SSSI protection, many of these habitats are ancient woodlands, which are protected from development in all but wholly exceptional circumstances; we have committed in the England Trees Action Plan to increase protections in the planning system for long established woodland in situ since 1840.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 25/05/2023 09:53:28 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
