Why should a foreign court have jurisdicti­on in the United Kingdom?

SIR – Can anyone name a country, outside the EU, that would allow a foreign court to have jurisdicti­on over foreign workers in their country? Bob Tozer

Torbay, Devon

SIR – After Brexit, will EU law require EU citizens in the United Kingdom to drive on the right? Clive Hadfield

Lutterwort­h, Leicesters­hire

SIR – I cannot understand the fuss about the rights of Europeans to remain in the UK. Surely life in Britain is going to be so bad after Brexit that they will all leave as fast as they can? Or was Project Fear just a bad joke? Bernard Kerrison

SIR – We are told that the fruit industry needs 80,000 migrant workers to gather their harvest. We are also told that there are 400,000 students struggling to reduce their debt who will be on college vacation over the picking season. Is there not a simple solution there? Nik Perfitt

SIR – After the almost insulting reception of Theresa May’s offer on EU immigrants, Roger Bootle’s “duck shoot” (Business Comment, June 26) deserves the widest circulatio­n. Given the imbalance of UK and EU trade, it should be the EU negotiatin­g with us for entry to our market. Richard Billington

Gomshall, Surrey

SIR – Theresa May offers EU nationals the right to stay in the UK, saying she does not want to “break up families”. What, then, about Britons living abroad, longing to bring non-eu spouses and children home to Britain?

Severe restrictio­ns were unfairly imposed – £18,600 pa minimum earnings on threat of deportatio­n, excessive visa fees of £4,500 or more, NHS surcharges and no access to public funds. These requiremen­ts, not imposed on EU migrants, cause hardship to thousands of British families, many stranded abroad.

It is fine to make this “fair and serious offer” to EU migrants, but should our own people remain condemned? William Harry Plant

Crook, Co Durham

SIR – A cross-party commission on Brexit is a terrible idea. It would lead to more squabbles in public and weaken our position in negotiatio­ns.

However, a cross-party commission to consider all that needs to be set in place after Brexit would be helpful, particular­ly if composed of people with skills other than politickin­g and promoting party dogma.

There will be much to be done to re-instate this country as a selfgovern­ing sovereign state, and people with useful input from whichever party should be invited to participat­e in getting a smooth transition. Marion Draper

Bembridge, Isle of Wight
