British Prime Minister Rishi Sonak was charged with breaking his vow to review or repeal all European Union legislation from his country’s laws within a hundred days of taking office by the British newspaper “Financial Times.”
The newspaper added in its report: “Rishi Sonak began to retract his aspiration to remove unwanted European Union laws from British laws, and abandoned his promise to implement this within 100 days,” according to the “Russia Today” news website.
It is significant that this decision was made in response to the identification of 1,400 additional EU rules in national legislation; as a result, British officials will now need to review 3,800 documents in total.
According to the newspaper’s sources, the new Minister of Energy and Industry, Grant Shasab, plans to slow the process of reviewing European laws, due to a lack of several hundreds of government employees to complete the mission.
A review of laws is “an crucial job to speed regulatory reform and restore British law,” the ministry noted, adding that it hopes to “completely profit from the advantages of Britain’s exit from the European Union.”
