Briefing for the UK Internal Market Bill

This Randall’s Briefing gives you an overview of the UK Internal Market Bill , the practical purpose of which  is to manage the transfer of powers from the EU to the UK.

The Government estimates that over 160 new regulatory powers will be returned to the devolved governments, intersecting with their already established legislative competences. Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales will have responsibility for applying their own regulatory frameworks which, if used independently, could theoretically result in goods produced in one nation being refused market access to another, due to a divergence of standards.
