Gareth Thomas – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Gareth Thomas on 2016-10-11.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, which agreed EU directives have not yet been transposed directly into UK law; and if she will make a statement.

Sir Oliver Heald

Until exit negotiations are concluded, the UK remains a full member of the European Union and all the rights and obligations of EU membership remain in force. During this period the Government will continue to negotiate, implement and apply EU legislation.

There are currently no EU directives for which the MoJ has responsibility, and which the UK has opted into, which are awaiting transposition into UK law.
