Again assurances that this will be the case will be sought I'm sure by our representatives.
What you think because we leave the EU 40 years worth of laws will be scrapped at the drop of the hat when it's already been said nothing would change immediately, and anything that did change later would have to go through parliament and probably the house of Lords? How on earth would any UK government just scrap a bunch of rights laws and get away with it? We will probably retain a lot of the law we've attained in our time in the EU, most of it was passed into UK law and there is a process for changing those laws. We aren't moving to the planet zardoz as slaves to the big head when we leave the EU. (Reference to a very strange Sean Connery film I once saw on TV). I really don't know where you get this idea from.
