The plan has always been to freeze all EU law when we exit (it was once
called the "Great Repeal Bill", even though what it did was exactly the
opposite).
And then tinker with the small print later[1], to "take back control".
This could, of course, mean imposing even more restrictions on (say) the
mail ordering of Kippers, rather than removing the [imaginary, it turns
out] existing ones.
If we exit *with* a deal, there's a transition period where the
tinkering-can is kicked down the road until the end of that.
I'm afraid I've lost track of what happens regarding new EU law that
arises between now and either the end of our membership, or the end of a
transition. But most people think that, so early in the new EU
Parliament, there isn't going to be very much.
[1] Optimists think it might be more or less completed within ten years.
I'm not so sure. And if we go for a "Norway style" deal, that we
don't hear much about recently, we'll have to stay aligned with EU
law for ever.
