No border curbs

FREE movement will not end for at least two years – raising fears of a rush to Britain by EU citizens desperate to beat the deadline.

Theresa May risked anger by stepping away from imposing migration curbs from the moment she triggered Article 50. It means controversial free movement rules are unlikely to be axed before 201 .

The Government will then bring forward a Bill setting out proposed legislation to tackle immigration. Asked on the BBC last night if free movement would end within two years, Mrs May said: ‘We want to have the agreements done in two years. There may then be a period when we are implementing those arrangements.’
