a) The Cabinet Office staff resource for the dashboard was less than 1 FTE.<\/p>

b) There has been no additional non-pay cost to the public purse by creating the dashboard. The process was led by the Cabinet Office, who commissioned Government Departments to find REUL within their legislation and compile an authoritative account of where REUL sits on the UK statute book.<\/p>

The dashboard itself is made by the Government Strategic Management Office and is hosted on Tableau Public, which is a free platform for hosting public dashboards. The dashboard will continue to be updated at no additional cost.<\/p>

We have provided for a time-limited implementation period precisely to give businesses and citizens certainty. This means that common rules will remain in place until the end of the period, allowing businesses to trade on the same terms as now up until the end of 2020.<\/p>

It takes on average two years for significant new rules to pass through the EU, and it is therefore very unlikely that significant legislation will pass during the implementation period.<\/p>

To meet our obligations under Section 17 of the Retained EU Law Revocation and Reform (REUL) Act, the first REUL report included a comprehensive list of REUL which has been reformed and revoked and detailed our plans for forthcoming reform SIs. In addition, and to provide Parliament with further insight, the report provided an indication of Government's future roadmap for REUL reform for the whole period to June 2026, informed by reporting from government departments to the Department for Business and Trade (i.e Table 2). In many cases the reforms in the roadmap for future years, are still under development and so the full details of these reforms have not been included in this first report. As details of future reforms are finalised, the Government will provide updates every 6 months via future reports alongside updating the REUL dashboard.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4949", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Johnson of Lainston"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Johnson of Lainston"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-02-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-02-23T13:14:19.167Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "214"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business and Trade"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business and Trade"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-02-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "EU Law"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Retained EU Law Parliamentary Report for the period June 2023\u2013December 2023, published on 22 January, what is the departmental breakdown for the following categories set out in Table 2 ('HMG roadmap for the stock of REUL'): (1) 'Propose to revoke in 2024', (2) 'Propose to revoke in 2025\u201326', (3) 'Propose to reform in 2024', and (4) 'Propose to reform in 2025\u201326'.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3736", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Krebs"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Krebs"} ], "uin" : "HL2363"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1467248", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1467248/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
