We received 5 responses to this consultation. None of the received responses identified any negative impact as a result of removing or amending the obsolete assimilated laws listed within the consultation.

Due to the general election, we will be delaying the publication of the summary of responses and government response, and will provide an update in due course.

Consultation description

In a joint consultation by the UK, Scottish, Northern Irish and Welsh governments, we are seeking views on a list of 60 food and drink assimilated laws inherited from the EU.

The UK and devolved governments believe that many of these laws are obsolete and intend to revoke them. There are some we would like to amend to take into account the domestic law context in which they now apply.

This would enable us to take ownership of our regulatory framework.

We have also published theconsultation in Welsh.
