To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress they have made towards establishing any new regulatory bodies needed post-Brexit; and whether such bodies will be established by the time the UK withdraws from the EU.

We are seeking a deep and special partnership with the European Union. Our relationship with the European Union's agencies and bodies upon exit will be evaluated on this basis.
The Government will always look to minimise disruption and costs, which will include considering alternative options. In most cases we anticipate that repatriated EU functions can be absorbed by departments and existing public bodies.
We will continue to plan for a range of scenarios and be ready to take any necessary steps to ensure that we are ready for exit day.
