	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/10/2019 answer text <p>In a deal scenario, UK nationals and EU citizens will be able to travel to each others’ countries as now for the duration of an implementation period. We have said that we want to see visa-free arrangements for short term business visits as part of the future relationship, and will discuss how to facilitate the temporary mobility of self-employed professionals and employees providing services.
