The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill will retain EU law as it applies in the UK
on exit day.
We expect between 800 and 1000 statutory instruments will be required
across Government to correct this retained EU law to ensure the statute book
functions appropriately outside the EU. All Departments are engaged in this
Once we leave the EU, we will make our own laws. As we leave the EU, the
Government’s EU exit legislative programme is designed to cater for the full
range of negotiated and non-negotiated outcomes.
