Image copyright ReutersTheresa May has said she is to introduce a "Great Repeal Bill" in the next Queen"s Speech which will overturn the act which took the UK into the EU.
It will remove the European Communities Act from the statute book and end the supremacy of EU law.
The government will also enshrine all existing EU law into British law and anything deemed unnecessary will be abolished later.
It comes ahead of the Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham later.
The repeal of the 1972 Act will not take effect until Britain leaves the EU under the process for quitting the bloc known as Article 50.

Mrs May has previously said she will not start the formal process of leaving the EU until next year.
"Simple approach"
In an interview with the Sunday Times, the prime minister said the repeal bill would mark "the first stage in the UK becoming a sovereign and independent country once again".
"It will return power and authority to the elected institutions of our country," she said.
"It means that the authority of EU law in Britain will end."
Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union David Davis will tell the Conservative Party conference on Sunday that "the moment we leave, Britain must be back in control".
He will add: "And that means EU law must cease to apply.
"To ensure continuity, we will take a simple approach. EU law will be transposed into domestic law, wherever practical, on exit day.
"It will be for elected politicians here to make the changes to reflect the outcome of our negotiation and our exit.
"That is what people voted for: power and authority residing once again with the sovereign institutions of our own country."
He will say that employment rights "will not be eroded" on exiting the EU.
The repeal bill will also end the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in the UK.
