Today in Parliament Emma Reynolds highlighted comments made by the Home Secretary that, even in the case of a ‘no-deal’ Brexit, employers will not be expected to differentiate between resident EU citizens and EU citizens arriving after Brexit.

Following the exchange, emma said: “I asked the Immigration Minister whether this meant freedom of movement of people would continue following Brexit.

“The Minister said the checking passports or ID cards would continue following Brexit, and freedom of movement of people will end, but did not explain what will actually change for employers.

“The Minister also gave no clarification over how ending freedom of movement could happen while staying true to what the Home Secretary said – especially when the government has committed to keeping existing EU rules (including freedom of movement of people) until the end of 2020 under the proposed transition agreement.

“This isn’t fair on EU citizens, employers or anyone.”
