On 22nd February 2024 the Department for Business & Trade (DBT) published the very first Retained EU Law (REUL) parliamentary report covering the period from June to December 2023.
The REUL Bill received Royal Assent on 29 June 2023. Section 17 of the Act requires the Secretary of State to report to Parliament on REUL at 6-monthly intervals until June 23 2026. The purpose of this report is to set out the progress that has been made in revoking and reforming REUL during the period since the Act was passed and to set out plans to revoke and reform REUL in subsequent reporting periods.
The reform of REUL is part of the government’s wider ambitions for regulatory reform.
The report begins by setting out the 3 pillars of the Smarter Regulation programme and explaining how REUL reform fits into this wider programme. It then summarises the data on the updated REUL Dashboard and reports on the progress government is making and their future and forward plans.
According to the report the government is on track to reform or revoke over half of the entire stock of REUL accrued in the more than 40 years that the UK was a member of the EU by June 2026.
