Retained EU Law / Assimilated Law Public Dashboard
The government dashboard cataloguing EU-derived law on the UK statute book, cited in the essay for the growth of the count from about 2,400 to nearly 7,000.
Both figures the essay takes from this source check out against the live dashboard: 2,417 pieces catalogued when it was first published in June 2022, which the essay rounds to 2,400, and 6,921 identified since, which the essay gives as almost 7,000.
One thing has changed since publication. The dashboard states it was updated for
the final time in July 2026, alongside the sixth and final parliamentary report.
The essay's closing observation that the count "is still growing" described a live
series at the time of writing and now describes a closed one. That is the
distinction stale_after exists to record.
