This document examines the common claim that a lar This document examines the common claim that a large percentage of UK laws come from the European Union. It explains how EU law influences UK legislation and clarifies misunderstandings about statistics such as “70% of UK law comes from Brussels.” The report analyses different methods used to measure EU influence, including primary legislation (Acts of Parliament) and secondary legislation (Statutory Instruments). It explains that EU law affects certain areas such as trade, agriculture, environment, and employment law more heavily than others.
