Theresa May has announced plans to take back all powers from
the EU by enshrining all regulations in domestic law when the country leaves
the bloc.
The prime minister will today introduce a Great Repeal Bill
that will remove the 1972 European Communities Act from the statute book.
This will then kickstart the process of ending the country’s
EU membership.
Addressing the Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham
for the first time as leader, Mrs May will announce that she will pass
legislation to move EU law onto the UK statute book when Brexit happens.
The PM told The Sunday Times: ‘We will introduce, in the
next Queen’s Speech, a Great Repeal Bill that will remove the European
Communities Act from the statute book.
‘This marks the first
stage in the UK becoming a sovereign and independent country once again.’
When it’s introduced, the repeal Bill will also end the
primacy of EU law, meaning rulings by the European Court of Justice will stop
applying to the UK once the legislation takes effect.
This will give Parliament the power to unpick the laws it
wants to keep, remove or amend at a later date, in a move that could be
welcomed by MPs who are keen to have a say over the terms of Brexit.
The move is also designed to give certainty to businesses
and protection for workers’ rights that are enshrined in EU law.
The announcement will be her first commitment on Brexit
since taking office in July, marking a ‘major step’ on the road to ending the
country’s EU membership.
