Headline: UNCAPTIONED: UK May Adopt EU Rules Under New Single Market Legislation
Caption: UK May Adopt EU Rules Under New Single Market Legislation. Keir Starmer is planning new legislation that could allow the UK to adopt some European Union single market rules without a full parliamentary vote. The proposed law would enable closer alignment with EU regulations, particularly in areas like food standards, as part of ongoing negotiations between the UK and the bloc. Government sources say the move could reduce costs for businesses and cut post-Brexit red tape, helping bring down prices for consumers. However, the plans have sparked strong criticism from opposition parties, who argue it could limit parliamentary scrutiny. Under the system, new EU rules could be introduced through secondary legislation, which is rarely debated or amended. Ministers insist Parliament will still play a role in overseeing agreements, including trade deals linked to sectors like food and agriculture. While Labour has ruled out rejoining the single market, the changes could see the UK adopt selected EU rules as part of future agreements.
