Retained EU Law Dashboard

24 April 2023

With the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill currently being discussed, the government has created a dashboard to track the progress of various laws as they are transferred in UK statute.

The dashboard, which runs in Tableau Public, pulls together over 3,700 pieces of legislation over 400 different policy areas. This allows users to filter, organise and extract data relating to the legislation and track their progress.

This has been created, primarily, to enable the government to track and develop a comprehensive record of EU-derived legislation. This will facilitate the reform needed to bring the required legislation into the UK statute.

Some reports have noted that there may be an element of backtracking ahead with the current plan to scrap EU law by the end of the year, following a cross-party revolt in the House of Lords. The concerns from the Lords is it would bypass the houses of parliament from the decisions of which law is retained or scrapped, instead giving this power to civil servants and ministers.

Until this is resolved, we will continue to keep an eye on the dashboard to ensure that all legislation relevant to payroll is taken car of in the most reasonable way possible.
