Thousands of EU laws on everything from
workers' rights to the environment are to be transferred into UK law as the
country gears up for Brexit.
Brexit Secretary David Davis said the Great Repeal Bill would allow the UK Parliament and Welsh, Scottish and
Northern Ireland administrations to scrap, amend and improve laws.
According to reports, It would also
end the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.
But Labour warned it was being done
without proper Parliamentary scrutiny.
It comes a day after Prime Minister
Theresa May triggered Article 50, starting the process which will officially
takes Britain out of the EU in March 2019.
