David Davis, Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, has set out his views on the Brexit Blueprint in a blog on the Conservative Home website, which gives a possible indication of the strategy for employment law. The blog appears to indicate that the content forms the basis of Davis’ initial thinking about the issues to be addressed. Under a heading which includes ‘protecting workers’, Davis says that Regulation already in place will stay for the moment, but the flood of new regulation from Europe will be halted; but then goes on to clarify that he is not talking about employment regulation, because all the studies show that it is not employment regulation that stultifies economic growth, but all the other market-related regulations, many of which are unnecessary.
