"Ministers are planning to introduce legislation that would allow them to sign the UK up to EU single market rules without full scrutiny, as part of an attempt to reduce paperwork and boost growth in Britain."
"The bill will contain powers that mean once an agreement has been reached with the bloc, any further EU changes deemed in the national interest can be waved through without a full debate by MPs."
The Independent focuses on critical issues like reproductive rights and climate change, advocating for accessible journalism without paywalls. A new UK bill aims to align with EU single market rules, allowing ministers to bypass full parliamentary scrutiny. This dynamic alignment process would streamline regulations on food standards and animal welfare, using secondary legislation that MPs can only approve or reject, not amend. This approach may lead to MPs rubber-stamping agreements, risking tensions with the EU if blocking votes occur.
