Conclusion
Similarly, we ask it to clarify if its recent assertion that “no new [EU] rules will apply in the UK without the UK first agreeing to this” means that the Government will have to consent to the UK aligning with relevant new EU laws under these future agreements on a case-by-case basis; or whether ‘agreeing’ in this context was intended as a reference to the UK ratifying treaties with the EU requiring it to align automatically with all its rules on an on-going basis unless an exemption applies.
