	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government has been clear that freedom of movement will end when the UK leaves the EU. In future, it will be for the UK Government and Parliament to determine the domestic immigration rules that will apply. The White Paper The UK’s future skills-based immigration system sets out the foundation for a single immigration system, where it is workers’ skills that matter, not where they come from. In line with the Migration Advisory Committee’s recommendation, we will focus on the highly skilled, and prioritise those migrants who bring most benefit to the UK to maximise the benefits of immigration. This represents a sensible, balanced package which will support the economy and enable us to take control of immigration.The Home Office is launching a year-long engagement process to enable businesses and other stakeholders to shape the details of policy and processes.</p><p>Recognising the depth of the UK-EU relationship, the UK has made a sovereign choice to seek reciprocal mobility arrangements with the EU in a defined number of areas, for example to allow business professionals to move to provide services, or tourists to continue to travel visa-free. This is reflected in the political declaration on our future relationship and the detail will be discussed in the next phase of negotiations. Our future immigration system will be flexible to incorporate any mobility arrangements from trade deals we do around the world, including with the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 07/01/2019 16:56:00 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
