United Kingdom Common Framework Policies


On 15 March 2018, The United Kingdom Government published a list of policy areas that will fall under devolved competence, but will require action to ensure the security and integrity of the UK Internal Market.
Some of these areas will require memorandums of understanding and some areas which will be reserved and require UK legislation to create a Common UK Framework Policy after brexit.

History

On 13 July 2017 the European Union Withdrawal Act 2017 - 2019 which governed the UK exit from the EU, and made provisions for EU laws to be retained and held where necessary to create Common UK Framework Policies had its first reading in the House of Commons
On July 13, 2017 the Scottish government introduced the UK Withdrawal from the European Union Bill into the Scottish Parliament.
On April 17, 2018 the UK Withdrawal from the European Union Bill was sent to the UK Supreme Court by the UK Government to challenge its legality and get a ruling on whether the provisions of the act were out with the competence of the Scottish Government and Parliament.
On December 13, 2018 the UK Supreme Court ruled that the provisions within the UK Withdrawal from the European Union was beyond the competence of the Scottish Government and Parliament, and the bill was sent back for editing.
On June 26, 2018 the European Withdrawal Bill passed through Parliament and became an act
At the end of the transition period, the 160 to 290 EU policies are no more applied into the UK who benefit from the United Kingdom Common Framework Policies.
Some policies are defined by the Northern Ireland Protocol.
