What becomes of EU citizens already in the UK? An assumed proposition that those already present pre-Brexit would be permitted to stay and obtain British citizenship is currently lacking in detail, not forgetting it may in-turn require those British nationals currently working in the EU to return or to obtain permission to remain from that EU member nation. Those EU nationals currently eligible for Permanent Residence and subsequent British citizenship may wish to consider cementing that status ahead of a vote.

Can free trade exist without free movement? If we look at current non-EU members such as Norway and Switzerland, their access to free trade comes with their consent to free movement provisions. Should Britain desire the free trade access and resulting economic benefits, an entwined agreement on free movement may leave those pursuing a halt to EU migration to be found wanting.

What about immigration from outside the EU? As the Migration Advisory Committee’s (MAC) recent report on Tier 2 Skilled Migration highlighted, in the context of the Government’s objective to reduce overall net migration, limits on non-EU work migration alone would make only a marginal contribution to the figures. Conversely, if a potential bar to EU workers results in a more generous permission to migration from outside the EU, what shape would that take and where would the balance lie? After all, reports have shown that EU migrants made an overall positive contribution to the UK economy between 2001-11, with those migrants from outside the EU also contributing positively, albeit to a lesser degree, over the same period.
