UK orders study looking at impact of ending free EU movement
27 July 2017
A major study has been ordered by the British government to look at the economic impact of ending free movement of EU workers.
The UK Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, wants to know whether some parts of Britain will be affected more than others, whether there will be skills shortages and the impact on seasonal jobs. The study will be carried out by the UK's Migration Advisory Committee, a quango that advises the government there on immigration issues. It is set to report by September next year. In a letter to the committee's chairman, Professor Alan Manning, Ms Rudd said the government continues "working towards the goal of achieving sustainable levels of net migration".
