Could the UK adopt EU single market rules without a parliamentary vote?

The UK government under Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer plans new legislation enabling ministers to align with EU single market rules in areas like food standards and carbon emissions via secondary legislation, often called Henry VIII powers. This process uses statutory instruments that typically receive limited parliamentary scrutiny and cannot be amended, bypassing full votes by MPs. The proposal forms part of a UK-EU 'reset' to ease trade barriers post-Brexit, amid concerns over sovereignty and dynamic alignment without UK input on EU rule-making.
