Bills

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

The Bill will repeal the European Communities Act 1972, bringing to an end the status of EU law within the British legal system, and will adopt the provisions of existing EU law into UK law. It provides a framework for making necessary modifications to the adopted EU law as a consequence of the UK’s withdrawal, to be done through a large volume of subsequent regulations.

Telecommunications Infrastructure (Relief from Non-Domestic Rates) Bill

The Bill will grant full relief from business rates for new fibre communications infrastructure in relation to a five-year period beginning in April 2017.

The Co-ordination of Regulatory Enforcement Regulations 2017, S.I. No. 835

For instance, the Regulations specify the role of national regulators in supporting primary authorities, and set out the process to be followed when there is a dispute about proposed enforcement action.
