Part 4 relates to rights and other matters which become part of domestic law by virtue of section 4 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. Part 5 amends or revokes provisions of retained EU Regulations relating to the coordination of the provision of benefits in kind. Part 6 revokes provisions of the EEA agreement.

Part 7 contains savings and transitional provisions.
