Paul MacFarlane, ELA chairman, emphasised his association’ strict apolitical approach, and said: “In a nutshell, this Bill, as currently drafted, will leave large swathes of employment law unclear and uncertain. The reason why is twofold.
“Firstly, the sunset provision means our regulations derived from EU law fall unless the Government reinstates them by 31 December. “Then, there’s an awful lot of regulation that needs to be reviewed. Around 500 relate to employment law. The Government has to decide whether to accept the current EU derived legislation, replace it with something else, or [have] no law in a specific area instead.”
The Retained EU Law Bill will scrap around 4,000 laws derived from Brussels, including around 500 protections for workers including equal pay for women, the 48-hour limit on weekly working hours and parental rights. A source close to Business Secretary, Grant Shapps, said: “Grant Shapps is focussed on ensuring there is democratic British accountability for our laws. This won’t remove fundamental protections. It’s about ensuring that our laws are made in Britain, for the benefit of those in Britain.
