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

#EUlaw

"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

"The #scrutinyprocess in Parliament is normally not good - it is going to be particularly difficult in relation to instruments under the #REULBill"

@RuthFox01, @HansardSociety on the potential difficulties of scrutinising #secondarylegislation made under the #RetainedEULawBill

"Governments usually draw up legislation to achieve their policy goals - this is the opposite."

More from @JMPSimor, @matrixchambers on how Government does not know what it wants to do under the #REULBill, and is creating uncertainty while they work it out.

"Wouldn't it be easier to simply list everything that is going to stay?"

Professor Alison Young, @Cambridge_Uni, on how the #REULBill should be amended to ensure key rights are not lost.
