Article summary

Public Law analysis: Under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EU(W)A 2018), before certain statutory instruments are formally laid in Parliament, they have to go through a preliminary sifting process to determine the appropriate parliamentary procedure. The latest draft Brexit SIs laid for sifting are reported here. Subjects covered include amendments to legislation in the field of environment to make operability changes to food information laws, including the alignment of EU retained and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) legislation that will cease to operate after IP completion day, and ensure that the appropriate rules providing for movement and control of wine products from both a regime and excise perspective are maintained after the end of the Brexit transition period. The amendments are described as ‘minor’.
