The latest version of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill (REULRR Bill) was published on 9 March 2023. 

Lexis®Library update: The updated version of the REULRR Bill follows the completion of Lords Committee stage on 8 March 2023 and incorporates government amendments made during Committee stage.

Government amendments reflected in the updated version of the REULRR Bill include new Clause 1(2) to provide that revocation of an instrument or provision of an instrument by the sunset does not affect an amendment made by such instrument or provision to any other enactment.

In addition, new Clause 2 tidies up the exceptions to the sunset largely found in old clause 22(5), providing that the sunset does not apply to 'relevant financial services law,' any 'specified instrument' or provision of an instrument contained in regulations, any 'specified description' of 'minor instruments,' and makes provision in relation to relevant REUL captured by a transitional, transitory or saving provision other than by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EU(W)A 2018), ss 1B or 2.

The REULRR Bill will move to Lords Report stage in due course.
