The Queen’s Speech has promised a Brexit Freedoms Bill to tackle the legacy of EU law and change the post-Brexit regulatory landscape. The aim is to set Britain’s economy free from the EU rule book, and return to UK laws.
What should the focus be? Politeia’s new series, Getting UK Business Down to Business, will put the spotlight on services – financial services, the digital economy and professional services. What policy is needed for the UK’s services to make the most of Brexit freedoms, to prosper and trade globally?
