The Legislative Consequences of EU Withdrawal project was established with the overall objective of ensuring there is a working Scottish statute book, which meets the policy intentions and responsibilities of Scottish Ministers, on the day the UK withdraws from the EU. The project is responsible for the coordination of the legislative consent memorandum process for the EU (Withdrawal) Bill, the coordination of the programme of primary and secondary legislation required to ensure legal operability after exit from the EU, and the development of any other legislation required as a consequence of UK withdrawal from the EU.
