Proceeding contribution from Lord Callanan (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 2 March 2023. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill.
Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill
Can I explain this point please, and then I will take the intervention from the noble Lord?
We are satisfied that departments know the law for which they are responsible. They do not yet know whether it is a retained EU law—in other words, whether it was done in respect of an EU obligation or not. The default position that we are suggesting is that it should be retained if they are not sure, but we have tabled an SI to put that position beyond doubt. I will take one more intervention on this.
