Make UK comment on The Retained EU Law Bill amendment

Stephen Phipson, CEO of Make UK, the manufacturers’ organisation said:

“ We welcome the Government’s decision to amend The Retained EU Law (REUL) Bill. Make UK has long called for an end to the blanket and unnecessary removal of EU Laws which would have posed enormous difficulty to UK manufacturers and been counterproductive.

“We also strongly applaud the Secretary of State for Business and Trade for understanding the complexity of the issue and taking a targeted approach which will concentrate on removing or improving those specific pieces of regulation which would bring about a benefit for British business. This is the right outcome for British manufacturing.”
