The government's EU Withdrawal Bill has been given royal assent by the Queen, enabling Brexit law to be transferred into UK law. The European Union Secretary, David Davis, called it a "landmark moment" and added the government would begin using the new law to give people and businesses "the certainty they need". It also repeals the 1972 European Communities Act, which took the UK into the EU and gave European law precedence over parliamentary legislation.
