Request

We are interested in finding out about the impact of Brexit on the UK regulatory landscape, including what regulations or rules that your regulator has amended or repealed or considered repealing as a result of Brexit. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA), I would like to know the following information.

Please could you tell me:

1. Has your regulatory body been contacted by the Government with a request for suggestions for post-Brexit regulatory changes?
2. If you have responded to request how many regulatory changes have you proposed.
3. What are those regulatory changes that you have suggested.
4. The number of regulations that relate to your regulatory body which have already been amended or repealed due to Brexit.
5. The titles of these regulations that relate to your regulatory body which have been amended or repealed as a result of Brexit.
6. The number of regulations that relate to your regulatory body which are in anyway under review as a result of Brexit.
7. The titles of these regulations which are under review as a result of Brexit.
