EU Migrants To Work In The UK 'Visa Free' After Brexit, Theresa May's Negotiation Plan Reveals
Nobody has a clue what is going on.
The government launches its plans today and baffles everyone.
The proposal, part of a long-awaited report on what May hopes to secure from her Brussels negotiations, seems to contradict comments made by the Home Secretary on Wednesday that EU citizens would no longer have an “automatic right” to “hop on a plane” and come to work in the UK.
EU citizens who currently live and work in the UK will be entitled to stay in the country under plans previously announced.
But the white paper’s publication threw the Commons into chaos on Thursday, after Labour MPs complained they had not been given a copy of the paper before Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab stood up to present it.
Commons Speaker John Bercow ordered the government’s statement be delayed for five minutes while copies were circulated, while Labour claimed the newly-appointed cabinet minister had broken the ministerial code by not allowing the opposition advance sight of it.
The document – which prompted the resignations of David Davis, Boris Johnson and Steve Baker – proposes the UK would maintain “frictionless trade” with the EU by mirroring its customs rules, and confirms the Government wants a close relationship with the EU on goods and agri-foods.
