Theresa May has said she is to introduce a “Great Repeal Bill” in the next Queen’s Speech which will overturn the act which took the UK into the EU.
It will remove the European Communities Act from the statute book and end the supremacy of EU law.
The government will also enshrine all existing EU law into British law and anything deemed unnecessary will be abolished later.
It comes ahead of the Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham later.
The repeal of the 1972 Act will not take effect until Britain leaves the EU under the process for quitting the bloc known as Article 50.
