The Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 (Revocation and Sunset Disapplication) Regulations 2023 was published on legislation.gov.uk., the official UK website for publicizing legal documents. The regulations revoke further retained or transposed EU legislation by year end 2023 in line with the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023, but also reinstall some rules and regulations that were deemed to end operations by December 31, 2023, but were found to be necessary to continue to be in force.
