Government has rowed back on plans to ditch 4,000 laws but key pollution legislation still slated to go
Laws to ensure the government is transparent about reducing air pollution are among those to be scrapped in the EU retained law bill, along with laws ensuring it commits to a pathway to cut carbon emissions.
A climbdown by ministers over the bill has reduced the number of EU regulations to be automatically removed from the statute books from 4,000 to 600, but key rules on air pollution are among those still expected to be removed.
