There will then be a monumental task for parliament and the civil service of repealing unwelcome EU-inspired rules, while retaining the necessary and acceptable ones. It should not be presumed, however, that leaving the EU will necessarily create a significant repeal of laws and regulations. To begin with, the UK’s civil service does not favour deregulation. Furthermore, it does not see the regulatory burden as of much of an encumbrance as others, including members of the European Commission. The British Civil Service impact assessments attributed far lower costs to EU regulation than other analyses.
