Re: Britain outside the EU
Far fewer EU laws to be scrapped than planned

Ministers are to dramatically scale back the number of EU laws to be scrapped by the end of the year as part of Rishi Sunak’s bonfire of Brussels rules and regulations.
In a concession to opponents of the Retained EU Law Bill, Kemi Badenoch, the business secretary, is to publish a list of 800 laws which will be removed from the UK statute book in an attempt to get the legislation through the House of Lords.
The move has infuriated Brexiteer MPs, who warned that it would only amount to about 20 per cent of existing EU laws on the UK statute book. They accused Badenoch of being “unambitious” and giving in to peers who are threatening to neuter the legislation.
The compromise was revealed by Badenoch at a private briefing with members of the European Research Group (ERG) of Brexiteer MPs…
…Those laws which are not explicitly named on the list of 800 will remain on the statute book to be looked at again “in due course”. The government is also expected to commit to retaining the most high-profile EU-derived laws, including the working-time directive and environmental legislation.
