Going to be so interesting to see which EU laws are kept in place post-Brexit, there are many I can imagine changing! I’m interested to see how the whole car scrapping scheme thing goes, as I think it is really really good! There is this article from Bronneberg covering the whole incentive, worth checking if you are interested http://www.bronneberg-recycling.co.uk/en/news/eu-end-of-life-vehicle-directive/
