“Provisions relating to the EU or the EEA in respect of EU-derived domestic

 

legislation

 

(1)    

Notwithstanding the provisions of section 5(1), HM Government shall make

 

arrangements to report to both Houses of Parliament whenever circumstances

 

arising in section 2(2)(d) would otherwise have amended provisions or

 

definitions in UK law had the UK remained a member of the EU or EEA beyond

 

exit day.

 

(2)    

Notwithstanding the provisions of section  5(1) and having reported to both

 

Houses of Parliament, HM Government is bound to consider whether it should

 

incorporate amended provisions or definitions into UK law, in order to ensure that

would have been had the UK remained a member of the EU or EEA beyond exit

 

day.

 

(3)    

Such circumstances arising in section 2(2)(d) include but are not limited to—

 

(a)    

any future EU Directives relating to family-friendly employment rights;

 

including but not limited to rights for pregnant workers and employees,

 

and those returning from maternity leave,

 

(b)    

any future EU Directives relating to gender equality,

 

(c)    

the proposed Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on

 

work-life balance for parents and carers.

 

(4)    

Reports presented under subsection (1) must include—

 

    

 

(i)    

an assessment of how such amendments to UK law would have

 

impacted sex equality in the UK had the UK remained a member

 

of the EU or EEA beyond exit day and
