Could Rishi Sunak fail to deliver promised elimination of 4,000 EU-era regulations?

It appears that Finance Minister Rishi Sunak is likely to fall short on his pledge to eliminate 4,000 EU-era laws, as insiders warn that only 20% of these laws will be removed from the statute book. At a recent meeting of the European Research Group, Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch disclosed that the government would only be able to remove 800 of these retained laws before the close of 2023. Sources with knowledge of the matter failed to refute these claims as reported by both the Daily Telegraph and the Financial Times.
