Mr Sunak said: “I strongly believe I made the right decision by supporting the Leave campaign. Thanks to Brexit, Britain in the 21st century will be a sovereign, global, free-trading nation in full control of its laws, regulations and international trade policy.
“However, although we have delivered Brexit, there is still much more to do to take advantage of the freedoms it has given us and to get rid of the thousands of unnecessary EU laws and regulations that hold us back.
“Today I make a promise. If I am elected Prime Minister, by the next general election I will have abolished or reformed all the EU legislation, bureaucracy and red tape that is still present in our statute books and is holding back economic growth.
“As prime minister, I would commission a new Brexit delivery department to review all the remaining 2,400 laws in our legislative body – with the first set of recommendations on whether each law should be repealed or reformed to be published within my first 100 days on the job.
“We need to take power away from faceless regulators and give that power to MPs in our Parliament. I would like results from the civil service and the government, with my Brexit minister producing an annual public report on progress towards delivering our growth opportunities and removing or reforming the other 2,400 EU laws still in our statute book.”
