Clause  4,  page  3,  line  9,  at end insert—

 

“(4)    

Where, following the United Kingdom’s exit from the EU, no specific provision

 

has been made in respect of an aspect of EU law applying to the UK or any part

 

of the United Kingdom immediately prior to the United Kingdom’s exit from the

 

EU, that aspect of EU law shall continue to be effective and enforceable in the

 

United Kingdom with equivalent scope, purpose and effect as immediately before

 

exit day.

 

(5)    

Where, following the United Kingdom’s exit from the EU, retained EU law is

 

found to incorrectly or incompletely transpose the requirements of EU legislation

 

in force on exit day, a Minister of the Crown shall make regulations made subject

 

to an enhanced scrutiny procedure so as to ensure full transposition of the EU

 

legislation.”

 

Member’s explanatory statement

 

New subsection (4) deals with a situation where the UK has incorrectly implemented a directive.

 

In cases of incorrect implementation, reliance on the EU directive may still be necessary. New

 

subsection (5) would ensure that where the UK has not correctly or completely implemented EU

 

law, prior to exit day, there will be a statutory obligation on Ministers to modify UK law to ensure

 

that the relevant EU legislation is correctly and fully implemented.
