Theresa May to introduce Repeal Act in Queens Speech.
Prime Minister May is to introduce an EU Repeal Act in the forthcoming Queens Speech.
The Bill will remove the European Communities Act 1972 from the statute book. May says this would make the UK an independent sovereign nation.
The repeal of the 1972 Act takes effect when the UK leaves the EU under Article 50. The Repeal Act will enshrine existing EU law into British Law and would allow the Government to amend or cancel any legislation after Brexit.
Repeal Act would also end the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.
