Downing Street: freedom of movement ends in 2019
DOWNING STREET insisted yesterday that free movement of labour from the European Union will end in March 2019, as the Prime Minister sought to quell ongoing divisions in her cabinet.
Tory dissent continued over the weekend after International Trade Secretary and leading Brexiteer Liam Fox dismissed suggestions from Chancellor Philip Hammond that EU migration could continue under a similar system to the current one.
Mr Fox retorted that unregulated free movement after Brexit would “not keep the faith” with last year’s EU referendum result, adding that the Cabinet had not yet come to a decision on immigration.
