<p>The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has not received any specific representations from external organisations on the potential merits of retaining the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, however they have been mentioned as a set of regulations that should be retained in several pieces of correspondence and parliamentary questions.</p><p> </p><p>Officials from HSE are actively engaging with a wide range of stakeholders as part of their day-to-day business, covering many matters. HSE has good working knowledge to inform any decisions they need to make in relation to their approach with the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill (REUL Bill). If required, HSE has various established channels of communication with stakeholders to obtain supplementary information.</p><p> </p><p>HSE has discussed and agreed its plans for retained EU Law (REUL) with DWP Ministers. An amendment was tabled on 10 May 2023 to replace the current sunset clause in the REUL Bill with a schedule of all the REUL that government departments intend to revoke by the end of 2023. The schedule includes REUL identified for revocation by HSE and any remaining REUL will be retained including the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. This is subject to the amendment being passed.</p>
