target="_blank">£101.5bn to the UK economy in 2017</a>. That is why, in our White
Paper on the UK’s future relationship with the EU, we said that whilst free movement
of people will end, we want to agree reciprocal mobility arrangements with the EU
that support businesses to provide services and move their talented people, and discuss
how to facilitate the temporary mobility of self-employed professionals and employees
providing services. The Immigration White Paper sets out the foundation for a single
immigration system that will support the UK’s dynamic economy.</p><p>Our proposals
for mobility arrangements with the EU are reflected in the Political Declaration on
the future relationship, which contains a specific reference to the importance of
mobility and temporary movement of objects and equipment in enabling cooperation in
the cultural sector. The details will be discussed in the next phase of negotiations.</p><p>
