Our final panel of the day is underway on #RetainedEULaw, investigating what it means, what its key provisions are, and how it might impact British law if it goes forward.

With @GeorgePeretzKC, @RuthFox01, @Zahra_AlRikabi, @JMPSimor, and Professor Alison Young

"Ministers have been given powers to replace #EUlaw - these powers are frankly astonishing. EU law goes through a #democraticprocess.

"The Bill hands ministers power to replace this law without any democratic process"

@JMPSimor, @matrixchambers on the deeply flawed #REULBill
"The ability to preserve supremacy in Clause 9(1) of the #REULBill is proof that nobody knows what repealing supremacy will do"

@GeorgePeretzKC, @moncktonlaw on the lack of work done by the #Government on the potential impacts of the #REULBill

Hoping lawyers, civil society & MPs examine carefully the #RetainedEULawBill. It will hand sweeping power to the executive over critical areas of people’s lives like workers rights, environmental & consumer protections, with alarming implications for legal certainty & stability.
If it feels like Groundhog Day, that’s because it is. But this is not an argument about Brexit.

We have left the EU. That doesn’t enable a free pass for any govt of the day to deregulate in an arbitrary way.

The risks of unintended consequences, at the very least, are high.
This is a really excellent @commonslibrary background briefing which I would urge people to read carefully.

Warning: It’s hot towel over head territory. It is dry & helps to consider substantive examples in workers rights or environmental protections . commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-brief…
