William Hague: Brexit disaster can be averted thanks to Philip Hammond?s transition plan
4 August 2017
Number 10 said on 31 July that it would be “wrong” to suggest that EU free movement to the UK would “continue as it is now” after 2019. But Home Secretary Amber Rudd has said that EU nationals will be able to continue to come to the UK during a post-March 2019 transition period so long as they go through a “registration and documentation” process. The senior Conservative has also commissioned a group of top economists, the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC), to investigate how the UK’s future immigration system “should be aligned with a modern industrial strategy”. The MAC, which is chaired by Professor Alan Manning, has been given a deadline of September 2018 to report back to Rudd.
