Sunset of EU-derived legislation Section 1: Sunset of EU-derived subordinate legislation and retained direct EU legislation
This section provides for the revocation of specified retained EU law at the end of 31 December 2023 ("the sunset").
	Subsection (1) provides that legislation listed in Schedule 1 (Sunset of subordinate legislation and retained direct EU legislation) will be revoked to the extent that it is stated in that schedule at the end of 31 December 2023.
	Subsection (2) sets out that Schedule 1 is split into two parts. The first part lists subordinate legislation and the second part lists retained direct EU legislation.
	Subsection (3) clarifies that amendments to other enactments made by legislation revoked under the sunset will be unaffected. For example, where an instrument or a provision made under section 2(2) ECA 1972 is revoked by the sunset, but had prior to that amended another piece of legislation, the amended legislation will be unaffected by the sunset of the instrument which amended it.
	Subsection (4) sets out a preservation power. It enables a relevant national authority (i.e. a Minister of the Crown or a devolved authority) to specify in regulations those instruments listed in Schedule 1 to which the sunset should not apply. Legislation listed on the Schedule which is specified in regulations made under this power will not be revoked at the end of 31 December 2023.
	Subsection (5) provides that the preservation power in subsection (4) may not be exercised after 31 October 2023.
