Rewriting EU Laws.

Since becoming a member of the EU Britain has adopted and relied on thousands of laws from Brussels.

The government are setting out a parliamentary bill to scrap, amend and where possible improve laws and pass jurisdiction back to our courts and away from the European Court of Justice. Undertaking the changes should make for easier trade negotiations, knowing that we start from a position that has not changed.

Any future laws will be made in the 4 capital cities of the UK, EU law as it stands will still feature when courts interpretate the law, but only as the law stands, up to the date the UK leaves.

The UK has around 12,000 laws and regulations that it needs to transfer over to UK law, the problem is that it will be impossible to rewrite the laws over the next 2 years, but many will need technical changes to be able to continue to work.

Changing almost a 1000 Laws in 2 years will take some going, and on a practical level these changes can not follow normal procedure for checking and debate, therefore special powers will be put in force, the concerns are than that things will be missed, the reality is that there will be very little change all the EU laws will become UK laws just as they are now but with administration changes.

Any laws that will need changing will be debated in parliament in the normal way.

I am sure opposition parties will shout very loudly given every opportunity to make political gain from the exit procedure.

The bun fight has already started, and the 'to do list' is full of massive hurdles, from security and Immigration to customs and our own borders.

The UK has given the government the biggest legislation change ever, I am sure that with cross party cooperation the job will get done, the first test will be passing the repeal bill itself, with the Scottish parliament having its own vote on the bill, exiting the EU make encounter its first banana skin very soon!

The Bill will not receive royal assent until next year.
