Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent discussions he has had with the Home Secretary on work permits and immigration rules for EU citizens working in the financial industry after the UK leaves the EU.

The Chancellor has regular discussions with Government colleagues, including the Home Secretary, on a range of different issues. As the Chancellor said at the Lord’s Economic Affairs Committee the Government will not accept uncontrolled free movement of people but will continue to facilitate the movement of highly skilled people, including in financial institutions.
